My sleep was fraught with odd dreams. Truly odd. Nothing upsetting, however, except that in one I am running, running, running...and can no longer run that way. I blame an episode of "Midsomer Murders" for the running as one character does that several times, and in the last run he gets hit with a log by someone and is pushed over a cliff.

In my dream I'm running toward a place I want to get to, but at every turn, I seem to be getting further away from it.

I hate those kinds of dreams.

Gale Storm
Zasu Pitts
Lucy, of course
Vivian Vance
Gracie Allen
Mary Tyler Moore
Betty White
Gilda Radner
Goldie Hawn
and Lily Tomlin

Up way too early for an usher job.

Hoping you enjoy the event you're ushering this morning.

Today at 2 p.m., I attend a "First Birthday" party for my cousin Allie Kate Mims. She is the third child of my cousin Chad Mims, and he is the first-born of my cousin Debra Mims. He is also the brother of Becky Mims Moore who gave birth this past Monday to Levi Judge Moore who I will be meeting for the first time at the party.

I will stop at my cousin Debra's house before the event to see some of the work she is having done to her back porch (a roof is being placed over it and she's really excited about how it is developing). I may use her contractor to enclose my back porch and turn it into a sun room. More on that later when I have had a meeting with him, get his suggestions and a possible estimate.

That's interesting about the palindromic dates!

It was, except that it was a very "scenic" dream. At one point, I passed an overgrown tangle of woods and saw a set of gilded lamp posts, and then a gilded chain appeared. Seemed like a gigantic set of some kind had been abandoned and grown over.

I could have stood there a while, but I felt I was being watched and followed, and I continued to run.

I, too, was lazy this morning. I woke around my usual (too early) time, but remembered that it's Saturday, and that the 'mates can feed the monster, and I rolled over and went back to sleep for a while. Then I got up and had two leisurely cups of coffee before doing anything at all.

I don't suppose anyone has said anything about the man who set himself on fire outside the Lower NYC courtroom yesterday while jury selection was ongoing in the Drumpf trial?

He was a young man from St. Augustine Fl (another story called him a Long Island native), had been passing out conspiracy-based leaflets, and then doused himself with something and set himself on fire.

He died. No one is sure what statement he was making other than sacrificing himself over idiotic conspiracy theories.

I don't think anyone has yet mentioned Madeline Kahn.

Jessica Walter and Linda Lavin.
And Ron Leibman was married to both.

I like Alice Faye.

I have just sent DR Elmore his link to download the mp3's. This was a fun project which - at least on my end, I believe - came out well.

I like all of the lists.

Mine:

Lucille Ball

Gale Storm
Betty Hutton
Kaye Ballard
Joan Rivers
Debbie Reynolds

I certainly wouldn't mention DM in the same post with those other performers.

Mercury Retrograde will end on April 24 and we will be done with it - until August. August 5-27 to be precise.

I just had a nice discussion with Doug about putting "She Wore A Yellow Ribbon" into the ballet score. Then we will have two western songs in the score. I would like to remove some of the "Russian" music in the score and make it more American.

I am most upset with the IRS. They tell me my refund should be made within three weeks of filing, and three weeks is now up.

Where the fat hell is my refund?

I think it's wonderful that he remains as enthusiastic about further improving the piece as you are.

We're about to head out to meet Kristi's brother and his wife for lunch at their family's old favorite Italian jernt.

After that, since today is Record Store Day, I'm going to stop in at the Danbury area's one remaining record shop (which opened just a few months before I moved here) to say hi and browse for a little bit. They continue to do well, but on a day like this they attract a good crowd which is kind of fun.

And I'm SO glad I went to see that play last night instead of putting it off till tonight. The Friday night audience sucked, but the play was great. And now I get to relax and enjoy my last two evenings before Drowsy tech week.

Something that perplexes me:

When I log into HainesHisWay.com, I am often taken NOT here but to a page where it claims Rob Stevens is a reviewer for HainesHisWay.com.

Does anyone -- BK? -- know what this is all about?
