Well, you've read the notes, the notes were stretched, and now it is time for you to post until the stretched 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.

I dreamed I was in a rehearsal room at Carrol Studios on West 55th Stree. "Many a N from Oklahoma! was being rehearsed and we needed tape for something, so I wandered off to find some. I ended up in a studio where Elliot Lawrence was conducting something, and I had to wait while he finished the number. When I woke, Gershwin's "How Long Has this Been Going On" was stuck in my head.

I dreamt I was working with a catering company that merged with another. There were problems over which recipes to use, especially a chicken appetizer.

I spent too much time on Amazon yesterday looking at carts. I need one 11.5-14 inches wide and no longer than 26 inches. And . . . it has to be sturdy. The closest thing I've found so far is this. It's about 4 inches wider than I would like, but it looks very sturdy, and fits my apartment decor, which is Early Warehouse.

This is what I have with the lousy wheels. I like the look, but the width, when you lose 3/4 of an inmch for the sidses of the tiers, is only 11 inches, and I'd like a bit more width.

So, I'll spend part of the day looking at carts online. I may work on the iTunes mess as well.

On my way home from the show, I must do my shopping for the St. Paddy's Day meal I'll be preparing tomorrow.

BK mentions audience-clapping-in-rhythm in the notes.

We suffer from that in this production, aided and abetted by the cast starting it themselves on the first of our three (3) repeats of the title song which is what the Curtain Music (note: not "Bows") in Hello, Dolly! consists of.

Anyway, I hate the practice. When I'm in an audience that starts it, I either stop clapping entirely or I clap faster and more furiously the normal way.

It's a perfect reason to eliminate bow music. I applaud it, and not in rhythm.

I do, too. What actor wants to take their bow to rhythmic clapping?

The table is gone.

But there is something else there.  I can't tell what it is, so I may take a walk across the street.

Yes! I’ve always felt this and I was pleased to see BK articulate it.
