John G, does your neck hurt when you're dancing?

No. Thank goodness.

My day after food. Worked at the piano.

Had a long telephonic conversation.

A fly got in the house but was hyperactive and I could do nothing to find it.

At three, I began watching Maigret. At 3:01 I was asleep for two minutes. This routine went on for the next fifteen minutes and I'd seen three minutes of those fifteen minutes and had no idea what was going on. I paused it and continued to doze and wake up every five minutes. This went on until four.

At four, I plopped down on the bed, fell asleep instantly, and got up at seven.

I wanted and ordered a slice of cheesecake.

The fly was being very intrusive and would not land anywhere.

The cheesecake got here at eight-thirty. I looked at the fork I'd used for lunch. On it was the fly. A moment later the fly was mort. A perfect hit.

And here I sit, slowly eating the coconut pie cheesecake. I may save some for later.

bk · « **Reply #162 on:** October 12, 2024, 09:12:08 PM »

I'm still going to try and watch Maigret.

With a different fork, I imagine.

Well, I'm now off to meet some friends for a quick (for me) dinner and visit before I hie myself downtown to work concessions for Sweeney Todd! I've really been looking forward to this since it was announced!

Have a great time, George!

Thanks, Freddie! I did!

It was really good...for the most part

George · « **Reply #168 on:** October 12, 2024, 11:58:03 PM »

A few times, the mics didn't come on quickly enough when a few people entered, and a couple of times the singers weren't in sync with the orchestra...but only a couple of times.

George · « **Reply #169 on:** October 12, 2024, 11:58:41 PM »

It was a fully staged, costumed and propped concert version.

George · « **Reply #170 on:** October 12, 2024, 11:59:57 PM »

The Olympia Symphony Orchestra was on stage the whole time, as were the dozen or so Masterworks Choral Ensemble members.

George · « **Reply #171 on:** October 13, 2024, 12:01:53 AM »

Otherwise, there was a 30-piece orchestra, including a harp.

George · « **Reply #172 on:** October 13, 2024, 12:02:31 AM »

The opening prelude was played on the Washington Center's Andy Crow Memorial Wurlitzer Organ and it was wonderful.

George · « **Reply #173 on:** October 13, 2024, 12:06:16 AM »

And aside from all the named roles (including the child whose father doesn't get his throat slashed), there were eight ensemble members, and not a weak one in the bunch.

George · « **Reply #174 on:** October 13, 2024, 12:08:34 AM »

There were some other little nitpicks not worth mentioning (or remembering), but overall, it was a grand (Guignol

) evening that was enjoyed by all.

George · « **Reply #175 on:** October 13, 2024, 12:09:01 AM »

They got a deserved standing O.

George · « **Reply #176 on:** October 13, 2024, 12:09:49 AM »

And then tomorrow, I get to see it again!

George · « **Reply #177 on:** October 13, 2024, 12:10:14 AM »

I'm really glad I get to see it for free.

George · « **Reply #178 on:** October 13, 2024, 12:10:33 AM »

Top tocket prices were $99!

George · « **Reply #179 on:** October 13, 2024, 12:10:47 AM »

Who'da thunk it??
