Six!

TOD: The most memorable for either actor (probably due to recency) was Ian McKellen as Macbeth with Judi Dench as Lady Macbeth. When we did Verdi's opera, a bunch of the chorus got together to watch this before staging rehearsals started.

When I was in Germany over Christmas a few years back, the radio station my sister listened to played Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah over and over again. Since when did this song become a Christmas song? It’s now the opening song on Jennifer Hudson’s Christmas album? Do people just not pay attention to the other lyrics?

[John G.]

It’s like Republicans not paying attention to Born in the USA.

That annoying eye shield protects the eye from being rolled over on in sleep, accidentally rubbed, that kind of thing. I found that experimenting with shifting it a little before re-taping it kept the eyelashes from hitting it. My doctor had me wear it while sleeping for a week, for each eye.

Maybe they'd be better off using Steve and Eydie's "Hallelujah" for the holidays

I never really paid attention to the words.  Curious as to why it is considered a Christmas song I found this article. https://variety.com/2022/music/news/hallelujah-leonard-cohen-book-excerpt-alan-light-expanded-edition-1235281084/

This is truly stupid compared to Hallelujah.

I never had a problem with my eyelashes and the patch, on me, was very large.  I needed a lot of tape to keep it on and the tape bothered me the most.

I'm up, I'm up - a bit over eight hours of sleep.

[bk]

Tons of e-mails to respond to.

[bk]

I've shaved and will shower shortly.

Now have my appointment with the doctor who does the eye surgery on 12/2, the day before the first Kritzerland rehearsal. It will be a visit to determine which muscle or muscles are causing the issue and then I'm hoping we can set the surgery appointment right then.

[bk]

I have my physical in two weeks.

Thanks for the heads up, DR Jane. I just "liked" John K. King Used & Rare Books on FB.

You've heard of Elf on a Shelf?

Well, get ready for Martha on a Mantel!

[singdaw]

Thanks for the update DR Ron Pulliam. Sounds good so far. Glad for that.

Excellent news you have an appointment.  I expect, unless he can't determine which muscle it is, you will book the surgery before you leave the office.  Vibes you can book it then.

I didn't see their FB page.  I saw it on something about Michigan.

Showered and cleaned up and waiting to be picked up. Then it's food and concert.

FWIW:  Watching TV, I am greatly aware of a vivid difference in colors and brightness between my left and right eyes.

I had heard that this might be the case.  I didn't realize I'd notice it quite this fast.

[Jrand74]

Yes vibes for MR BK.
