Well, you've read the notes, the notes had six words that equal perfection and you now know what they are, and now it is time for you to post until the perfect cows come home.

This morning Annabelle finally ate a healthy breakfast.  She sounds like garbage, her breathing is congested, and I cannot afford the vet at the moment, so I was surprised she ate.  I hope this bodes food since I do not want to come home from hospital and find her dead.

I'm here to report that the corned beef was delicious. But when isn't it? There's not much you can do to ruin a corned beef. I can only take so much credit for the results, though I'm very attentive to how I prepare it. After cooking I trim the most obvious mounds of fat, so it's leaner than what you usually get at a restaurant.

I'm especially happy to say that my plan worked and there are plenty of leftovers. I know that at least Nathan and I will enjoy another full meal of it this evening. (Kristi is "eh" about corned beef; she enjoys one meal of it, and then that's it for a while.) Then, depending on how much remains, I want to make a nice corned beef hash to serve with eggs. If not, then we'll do that another time.

Good news.  What does your vet do, or give Annabelle, in the office that can be done at home?  Maybe if you call she can leave a prescription or give advice for while you are away.

The phone conference meeting was not technically good.....

Right now there is talk of dropping the Sept. show and just moving everything one month ahead.

They don't seem to understand that having auditions in May is not much different than having them in April....and we just don't know what things are going to be like.....

It's a mess - but it's a mess that all performing organizations are in......so we shall see.....we are meeting again on April 1.

Looks like Applause will probably move into July IF the show that was supposed open in April opens in May - I'm hoping this insanity is calmed down by May, just as it is in, you know, China, where everything is back open and getting back to normal after two-and-a-half months of this thing.

Today we found raisins, vegetarian baked beans, and mayo (I had a coupon for that).  I wasn't going to use the coupon for the mayonnaise as the jars were larger than I normally buy.  I figured if I didn't buy what was there it might be gone when I do need it.

Experiment one worked fine - I did an Instacart delivery from Gelson's - four-day turnaround, but it arrived this morning (for some reason I thought it was tomorrow - had I remembered I would have gone right then since there's frozen stuff - but it all seems fine).  They do replace if they can't find the exact item, but the replacements were all fine by me.  So, I have a few frozen dinners now, and a few other small items.  It's an option should you have Instacart in your neighborhood.  Tomorrow's will be more interesting.

You are lucky the replacements are fine with you.  Did you have it delivered to the mail place instead of your home?

Yes, to the mail place - but if I did it again I'd have it delivered here instead.

That sounds like a better plan.

Our dear friend in Portland with the two daughter (Bruce met her and the older girl at Nordstrom's) has been texting to make sure we are ok.  She has offered to pick up anything we need and leave it at our door.  I am very touched.  She has a new job, is remodeling her house, and two children at home now.  I am more worried about her.

Who knows why they have it on St. Patrick's Day. It ain't Irish. American-Irish maybe, but the folks in the Emerald Isle don't eat that much beef and they'd never corn it. I love the stuff, too.

I had a wild ride at work today. Meetings all day, and they were actually good meetings. Work got done and everybody on my team did their best. Everybody who was virtually there, that is.

I was down an extra person. People took her work requests and finished them.

My boss even pitched in and edited something very important for me, the COVID-19 piece. She set aside an hour to read it and was finished actually in less than 10 minutes. She saw why I wanted to work with the writer I chose. And I think it made her feel more a part of the team.

I've finally had an evening to watch the 42nd St. DVD you made for me, George. Oh, my goodness, what memories. This was the first show I ever saw on Broadway, and while the British cast is OK, there's no one like Jerry Orbach or Lee Roy Reams, who danced up a storm, especially in We're in the Money and the title number.

Not everyone I saw was in the original cast. Millicent Martin was Dorothy Brock and Lisa Brown from The Guiding Light was Peggy.

The phone conference meeting was not technically good.....

Right now there is talk of dropping the Sept. show and just moving everything one month ahead.

They don't seem to understand that having auditions in May is not much different than having them in April....and we just don't know what things are going to be like.....

It's a mess - but it's a mess that all performing organizations are in......so we shall see.....we are meeting again on April 1.


Jack, you are quite correct.  Rehearsals starting up again in early April, and opening MURDER on May 1, is not going to work any better than the original dates.  Also, keeping the six foot space between audience members is a joke.

Looks like Applause will probably move into July IF the show that was supposed open in April opens in May - I'm hoping this insanity is calmed down by May, just as it is in, you know, China, where everything is back open and getting back to normal after two-and-a-half months of this thing.


Yes, but the Chinese government placed people in quarantine by force.  We are far from that apparently effective method.

Jennifer, picking up my order at the store defeats the whole reason why I have it delivered.  The delivery driver puts it all in my kitchen, so I can easily put it away by myself.  Picking it up requires me to get the food from the parking lot up to where my condo os located.

I am glad at my last haircut I went a little shorter than usual as it will be awhile before hair salons are open again.

My sister called me today, asking if I would trim her hair...just a blunt cut straight across to shorten it all.  She doesn't have confidence in her daughter's ability to cut her hair in a straight line, so I'll be attempting it. ::)

The Love Salad is:  "Fresh romaine and napa cabbage, topped with crunchy noodles, sliced almonds and our creamy ginger “LOVE” dressing."  It's kind of large, but not too much for one.  It's probably enough for two Janes, though. ;D

I'm not sure, but I think my next dental appointment is in a couple of months.  I wonder if it'll be rescheduled or not.  I'll wait to see if they change it.  I don't really care one way or the other.
