Weird dreams in which I worked at a whorehouse. In bookkeeping. I eventually did have to sell myself. And it was all perfunctory.

DR Jrand73, it sounds as if you will be looking for a new leading lady in all future endeavors.

Kitty cleanup was particularly messy this morning, thanks to a cat - I suspect Stella - using the bathroom rug as a litter box. There were three different locations on the rug as well as a smear on the edge of the bathtub. It was quite disgusting, and I know that's way too much TMI.

I guess I need to get back to rising earlier so the litter box is cleaned out by 8:00; I didn't get to it today until 9:30.

I wish Peter were still alive to do the entire score with me. My Finale files for the score, if I ever had them all at home, are on one of five external LaCie hard drives I cannot access on this 2023 computer. Peter took my computer from Toyland when I closed shop in 2015. I suspect the files for the entire show, as well as the files for Dearest Enemy and Roberta sit on Peter's computer wherevere it now may be. I think I'll send his wife Kate an email.

Witless is probably more accurate.

Halfway through Space Cowboys. The script is so clichéd it’s almost painful.

I'm up, I'm up - six and a half hours of sleep. She of the Evil Eye got here at eight. It's been earlier and earlier and earlier and from now on it has to be no earlier than eight-twenty.

I would occassionally drink black cherry soda.  I don't believe it is still around, though I can't swear to that since I don't remember who made it.

I need sleep. The pill didn’t work. No relaxed muscles. No drowsiness.

I realized I did know shohreh Aghdashloo as soon as she spoke.

Her voice is unmistakable.

She was in The Expanse which we watched last year

Now I know who she is.

The “convenience” fees for the use of credit cards on things like that are outrageous, DR Elmore. Our town lets you pay property tax bills by card, for which the company handling the transaction takes $95.

$95  :o

The leading lady decided to do some ballet stretches onstage last night during notes.

You should have started dancing in front of her.

Today is dough day. I have mixed the leaven with flour and water. After 2.5 hours, I added salt. Now it sits before I shape it into dough. Tomorrow is baking day.

If there's no luck with Peter's computer, I would think someone you know in New York would have an older computer around and could help get the files off the external drives. I keep several older computers for things like that - running old music software, or accessing old media. But I'm on the other coast so that wouldn't be practical.

We heard a Bruckner 4th on Saturday that was just wonderful. Neither of us are big Bruckner fans but this performance was great. I had a good feeling about it when they had 4 trumpet players for the 3 parts, and instead of the 4th spelling the principal, all four played together on the unison passages.

I think most of the pop from my youth is still around, particularly Vernors and Red Pop. You can't get Red Pop out here but Vernors is plentiful. I used to be a Tab fan but converted to Diet Coke when it came out. I haven't had any pop for many years though, when I decided I finally had to kick my Diet Coke habit.

I liked Vernor’s. Haven’t had it in ages.

I hadn't known about Vernor's until I joined this here site. There are some stores around here that carry it.
