Well, you've read the notes, the notes were in praise of Blake, and now it is time for you to post until the comedy cows come home.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

That's an area rug, not tile or vinyl.  We'll see how well/long it lasts.

I am beginning to feel like MR BK while he was directing 70 GIRLS 70.....

I shall not bore you with the details.....but nobody seems interested in doing this show or cares whether it happens or not.

I can't do it by myself and I am tired of the apathy of half the cast AND the backstage crew.

I am not sure now what the outcome will be - but I'm ready to quit....which of course, I can't do.

John that is a beautiful obituary.  Despite her many hardships in her youth, it seems she had a very fulfilling life of joy and cheerful service.  Sending you hugs.

I slept very well until 4:00 or so. I had been awake for some time, playing with Thatch, and I needed a bathroom break. After that I nodded and dozed. Around 5:30, Annabelle lkeft her princess pillow next to me to cuddle with me until the alarm rang.

This morning, Access-a-Ride will take me to the Lincoln Center post office to ship some packages I've been too poor to ship over the past three months. When I get home, I will dive into "Some People." We are doing all of Rose's songs first so keys for Audra can be determined.

Yes, as DR MichaelG pointed out, Finale has had a reprieve; my email arrived last night around 7:00.

Thanks for all the nice comments on the obit. It’s long, but then again, she lived 97 years.

My Beloved Monster still haunts me; I think of poor youn g Ching-ling often, and the final chapters, beginning with Carr's request to the dying Masha Be where I can find you, to its heartbreaking final paragraph  - perhaps projecting too much of the cats' end and mine - provoke me to unexpected tears.
