Is Folgers in a cup REALLY the best part of waking up?

I saw JAWS on its opening weekend with my three younger brothers, my sister and her boyfriend.

The theeder was packed, some folks were sitting on the floor in the aisle.

There was much screaming and some great laughs and applause and carrying on when Bruce the Shark was blown up.....

And for the rest of the time he was at home, my youngest brother David would take the dog into the bathroom with him while he took a shower.....

Morning has broken with a roar as Denny is here cutting grass and edging growth along the pond shoreline.

Sigh.

I was in Naples, Italy, when "Jaws" exploded onto theater screens.

It was a few months after it premiered that a print reached our base theater. 

I was pretty excited to go see it and a couple of friends and I thought we ought to be there early before a line started.  We were an hour early and it was a good thing because a lot of people had started the line much earlier.  Still, once tickets were being sold, we got in rather quickly and got great seats.

The theater was packed, and the thrills/chills were all there.

To this day, I cannot bring myself to do more than let waves break over my feet and legs when I'm near the ocean.

Denny finished my yard about 10 minutes ago, and it looks beautiful. 

It's 76 degrees, the sun is shining, the sky is a wonderful blue.

And, it's lunchtime!

I am home from City Center with the Gypsy Overture to ponder over the next couple of days. As usual, I had a great time gossiping and laughing with Joshie before we settled down to speculate changes between the original score and the new print-out, which was assembled from the national tour parts. I was even more amazed at the errors in the published vocal score, since it is sent out with the rental materials as "the  pit piano" book. Josh and I agree that onlyz adds to performance issues.

Several years ago in a reduced pit I played from the Gypsy vocal score, which was just "doable" since I was only playing rhythm and whatever was really needed. But our MD was stunned when he found that that was the conductor's score, too.

I went to pay my Con Ed utilities bill and nearly passed out. Last month, it was $133; this month's bill is $398. Granted, it's been very hot outside, but my AC is on a 75 degree thermostat and I refuse to believe my rate has gone so high.


Yikes! :o
