Guess I should try to get some sleep.

I'm a little wired.

Hallelujah!
I am delighted the opening night went so well! I hope every performance ends up a full house.

After a really poor night of sleep, last night was another good one. The cats behaved, and Stella has a new bed. Ever since my gastrointestinal issues seriously began began back in 2022, I;ve kept a red plastic tub under my bed in case I need it during the night. I've never used it, but every time I've drsagged it out - in case! - I wake to find Stella sleeping in it. So, last night I officially turned it over to Stella.

I have a lot of things this morning to take to the basement, and I'm hoping I can do it all in one trip.

Congratulations to BK and the company of DRAT! THE CAT! on your fabulous opening!

How exciting that your promise to Ira Levin was fulfilled so well, BK!

Today is Stephen Sondheim's birthday. I think of him often and fondly.

After being sacked from a project by a lying, treacherous weasel I believed was a friend in 1991, my career died. Two years later, Bruce Kimmel saved my career - and my sanity - by asking me to orchestrate "Unsung sondheim" and Liz Callaway's Frank Loesser album I think this may be my favorite track from the recording. Thank you, Bruce!

I have another of my “allergy colds” - or whatever in the HELL it is. I hope it passes quickly.

Local friends are reporting lots of allergy upset this week, so…

Had weird dreams of having to wait in line with a group of three unknown people to get into an art exhibit.

Everything about Sondheim seemed to become part of the premium pricing era these past several years, from his off-Broadway and Broadway shows to the prices of his belongings from his homes.

Here’s the original production of Pacific Overtures.

If you only have two minutes - strange how those Tea Party Palin folks have evolved, though
