Well, you've read the notes, the notes had fireworks and wieners, not necessarily in that order, and now it is time for you to post until the fourth of July cows come home.

To continue from last night: after the fireworks, which were enjoyable (except for the screamers

), I drove the German family back to my mom's house and we discussed what they wanted to do this morning.

The city of Tumwater is having its own Independence Day parade and they'd like to see it, so I took the chairs that we had for the fireworks and set them out on the street near the beginning of the parade. Then, I'll pick them up at my mom's (who doesn't want to see the parade) and drop them off at the chairs, then I'll park (hopefully close by) and go back to them and we'll all watch the parade together.

After we're done watching the big parade go by (a Maltby and Shire reference

), I'll get the car, pick up them and the chairs, and take us all to my sister's for the big 4th of July get-together!

Then, my mom can drive them back to her house.

George, it was enjoyable to read of all that activity you had going on last night!

vixmom, sorry to read that your team lost the game last night, but it sounds like it was quite a nice get-together!

Good morning, all!

I slept well until some time around 4:00 when I woke from a dream in which my friend Alan Gomberg and I were trying to convince Judy Kaye to play the Queen in a production of Jubilee. Then, as I was dozing back off, Annabelle jumped from the bookcases onto the bed in front of my head. The shock woke me right up and I spent the next two hours trying to sleep, thinking about a possible production of Jubilee, and playing with Thatch and Annabelle.

I have absolutely no plans for today and that suits me fine.

vixmom · « **Reply #13 on:** July 04, 2024, 04:39:14 AM »

Yay! It’s a holiday and a day off from work!

I can sleep in!

I’ve been awake since 6 am

I’ve finally given up trying to go back to sleep

vixmom · « **Reply #17 on:** July 04, 2024, 04:40:27 AM »

I actually haven’t given much thought as to foodstuffs for the day

vixmom · « **Reply #18 on:** July 04, 2024, 04:40:48 AM »

I suppose I should

Alan Gomberg has such wisdom as a commenter and as something of a scholar and historian on musical theater, in the Times theater section reader comments and (as "AlanScott") on Talkin' Broadway.

Maybe he would have the right level of knowledge and thoroughness to be an asset in real life in projects like the one you dreamed about?

I have no plans for today, too, and I hope it stays that way.

I loved fireworks as a kid, and off and on as an adult. But honestly, they bore me now.

The times that I've gone anywhere to see them, say, in the last ten years, what I've enjoyed is the company and the food and other things that are going on. And these have truly been some fun times. But when it's time for the fireworks, I let everyone else ooh and aah while I sit there bored and counting the minutes.
