Well, you've read the notes, the notes noted it was the last of April, and now it is time for you to post until the last of April cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: AMARANTHINE!
-
Good morning, all!
-
I slept well until 3:00, my usual bathroom break time. After that, I was out of my comfortable sleeping position, the left hand and pinched nerve acted up, and "Santa Claus is coming to town" kept running through my mind.

Wordle 1,411 1/6
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
-
DR VIXMOM!
-
I have some stuff to do and a visitor this morning that I am not looking forward - but we shall get it over with.
-
The Pacers won their game last night and move to the second round of the NBA playoffs.
The Timberwolves play tonight and can do the same thing - possibly.
-
Not sure I will reach my new millstone today.
Time will tell.
-
Notes milled. Stoned.
-
That Pacers game was positively bonkers.
-
Thank you all for the birthday greetings to the Vixter yesterday
-
We had a nice long chat yesterday
-
These meds are working well I’m feeling much better
-
Why am I waking up so early? Who can say.
-
I’ll check in later
-
Good day all !
-
Glad betterment is in the offing, DR Vixmom.
-
I got a nice Pacers win to balance an excruciating Devils elimination in hockey. And my Pittsburgh Pirates are simply hopeless.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Glad you’re feeling better, Vixmom. Vibes for your continued recovery.
-
Congrats on Wordle.
-
Good morning, all.

Wednesday:
My last day with only a rehearsal this afternoon/evening, before three double-duty (one's a triple-duty) days in a row.
Breathe...
-
Monday's dress/tech rehearsal went pretty well. They got through Act 1 and about a third of Act 2. That's kind of par for the course for a show with a fair amount of moving parts.
Last night's? Well, it was like nothing was able to happen. Things were hardly moving at all, and they just barely got through the REST of Act 2. And tonight's the final dress. Their one *complete* run-through will commence when the clock strikes four. Pray for the baby.
-
Continuing get-well vibes for DR vixmom.
-
Visitor vibes for DR JRand74.
-
There are probably many more vibes due, so here's to health and wealth and giddy happiness vibes for everyone.
I just paid the big ugly quarterly property tax bill, so just imagine how giddy *I* am.
-
Giddy indeed.
-
Onward!
-
Two!

Not entirely sold on Jonathan Groff. He seems to want to upstage his backup dancers. I could probably enjoy a cast album.
-
KevinH, thanks for the repor on New Yor.
-
Thank you all for the birthday greetings to the Vixter yesterday
I forgot and I love the Vixter! Please tell her I said Happy Belated!
-
Damn! Damn! Damn! Second package with tracking number supposedly delivered to this address was not.
I called the 10024 Planetarium USPSD Station and to a completely apathetic woman qho clearly didn't give a damn when I told her I suspoected they had a dyslexic delivery person or a postal worker who was a thief. She told me to call the USPS 800 number.
-
It took me a while to find it on the USPS sitew, and I called. I was lucky to get a wonderful woman named Cassandra who took information on both missing books and sent me confirmation emails. I doubt either book will show up.
-

Great news!

I love this song! I cannot wait for the cast album.
-
And the word of the day is: AMARANTHINE!
Isn't there a famous line from something or other, "Don't dawdle, Amarinthine!"

I love the song too. Big Bobby Darin fan. I guess I am nervous because of the Kevin Spacey biopic, which started out fine and then devolved into mediocrity or worse.

All those "no more water, no more aqua, ta-ta H2O" bits (which is I believe just "no more sailing" in the Bobby Darin recording) suggests Jonathan Groff really does take his sweating and spitting reputation with a real sense of humor.

Visitor is gone and I survived.

Survival vibes for DR CHAS SMITH and his fingers.
-
What a great video! Thanks for sharing.
-
Visitor is gone and I survived.

One load of laundry in the dryer. Two more to go.

Haven’t done laundry in two weeks.
-
Now need to clean a little.
-
Am getting a haircut today.

But first …

Happy birthday, Sheldon Harnick!

Survival vibes for DR CHAS SMITH and his fingers.
Fingers will be fine. It's my back that will be killing me...from sitting all those hours on a keyboard bench on a floor that's on a slight angle, just enough that I can feel the "pull".
-
I'm up, I'm up - about six hours of sleep.
-
First visitor will be here any minute, followed by the helper.
-
Greetings from the sponge place.

When is the convention?
Any more comments about the FF article?
Convention just began today. I can’t be there with the big breadwinner out of town, which is a bummer because that’s my time to get real feedback. But I think the story is still topping the widely read charts.

Fantastic!

Wordle for me: 2/6. I was surprised!
-
Haven’t done laundry in two weeks.
Wow.
-
DR Freddie--regarding your question from yesterday, Jonathan Groff did mention his spitting problem before the show. He first comes out as himself and later plays Bobby Darin.

Every couple of months I order the 5-pound bag of walnuts from Costco.com (they only have the 3-pound bag with larger pieces in my Costco "warehouse"). I was set to order them again and noticed that the price went up from $16.99 in February to $27.49 today!

Wow. I buy the larger pieces at the store. I wonder if they also went up in price.
-
I did a search and the price of walnuts is likely to increase more. The demand has gone up while the supply has dropped.
"The 2024-2025 walnut crop is 11% lower than the USDA forecast in September, partly due to record-high temperatures and La Niña weather patterns. This has created a shortage, driving prices up."
-
Good afternoon.
-
Vixmom, I'm glad you are feeling better already.
-
My cold turned out to be a cold, which seemingly has not become a sinus infection.
-
So I should be fine this weekend when I travel again.
-
My 7 year old great nephew threw the opening pitch at the Dodger's game on Sunday. I just saw the video. Wow, he nailed the pitch!
-
Woohoo, Jane!
-

Excellent news.
-
My question for Ask BK Day:
Dear BK,
Is there any possibility you could direct a production of Ride the Cyclone?
-
So I should be fine this weekend when I travel again.
Again. Safe travels.
-
I'm going to Las Vegas.
-
FOUR!

Cool today with rain later.

Sorry you can't be there DR RODZINSKI.

Wordle in five today.
Now if I remember to do it tomorrow and may get a streak going.
-
And so DR CHAS SMITH has said that he is indeed defying gravity.
-
Gratuitous post 102!
-
Being able to take a nap today was fun.
-
I guess my being Senior is close to official, a couple of days early. I just received a birthday card from our local New York State Senator, which included the note "I'm happy to provide you with a copy of my Senior Resources Guide."
-
I don't think I've ever gotten a birthday card from him before.

Keith got Wordle in four.

Back to Succession. I’m losing interest.

Back to Succession. I’m losing interest.
We're in season 4, watching the episodes one at a time = and I'm feeling I really want to know what happens, I'm feeling it's all high quality work, and I even want to see how they get there - but it keeps feeling uglier and uglier.

Interest has picked up again. It was one episode that wasn’t as good as the others.
I’m liking Hope Davis. But I always like Hope Davis.
-
I actually had a question for Bruce today but now I can't remember what it was :D
-
I do have a question for everyone.
-
Does anyone actually know a T supporter who now regrets their vote?
-
I don't.

We're about five episodes into season 4. The story took a really noticeable turn with a major plot development early in the season.

Yes, season three. Finishing up episode six.
-

Nope.
-
Onward!
-
Five!
-
Nor do I DR JANE!
And just reading the description of his Round Table about his "glorious" first 100 Days of the Second Term caused me much distress.
-
The Amazing Race Episode will starting in about 15 minutes.....and I will then watch the rest of the Timberwolves NBA game.
-
My question for ASK BK DAY - which actor or actress who made a film debut in the 1960's least fulfilled the promise shown early on?
-
This will get me down to 20 posts to go to my new millstone.
Perhaps tomorrow if I am talkative.
-

Nope.
Darn.

I wondered considering the polls and news reports.
-
I will be working for the bar exam again this year. I really enjoyed that last year.
-
I will finish the second to last episode of season three tonight.
-
One of the library orders this week is a DVD of The Dancing Pirate, an early Rodgers and Hart talkie that I haven’t seen before. The score is not said to be great, but the three panel coloring is supposed to be interesting.
-
Sorry; still catching up from being away.
-
And not caught up here yet, either.
-
Welcome home, singdaw!
-
Good night, all.
-
DR JOHN G I saw The Dancing Pirate a few years ago on a PD DVD.
I am sure it will be much more entertaining if it's been spruced up. The leading man was sort of a stick in the mud - but nice to see at least once.
-
The Timberwolves just won the series over the LA Lakers so they move on the second round.
Most exciting.
-
Tomorrow morning I will going to the getting place.
-
Finished with my viewing.
-
Page five again.
-
Listening to music now.
-
Had pasta papa at noon.
-
And a side Caesar later.
-
Where in tarnation IS everyone?
-
No George last night, no George today.
-
Has someone checked up on him?
-
Very unlike him.
-
I don't like when regulars suddenly don't show up at all.
-
Very worrisome.
-
Welcome, 2,198 GUESTS. I kid you not.
-
What is that ABOUT?
-
Enter page six.
-
This is most concerning. Someone please check up on him.
-
New notes are written.
-
This is most concerning.
-
Concerning is what this is.
-
Most.
-
Well, hoping he shows up so we don't worry.
-
Still over 2,000 GUESTS.
-
What is THAT about?
-
No George last night, no George today.
I'm here...finally.
-
::)
-
Sunday, I rented a pressure washer and with the help of my friend Shelly, we pressure washed my sister's back patio, then my backyard concrete slab and the fence boards around my very small backyard.
-
At first, we were thinking of renting it for just eight hours, but their pricing was either four hours, or 24 hours, so we opted for 24 hours.
-
It was a long Sunday, and a long yesterday.
-
I napped for about four hours before going to rehearsal yesterday, so that was most of my day.
-
But then when I got got home, I got to chatting with Shelly and then I was just too tired to do anything else but go to sleep.
-
I at lease didn't forget to do today's Wordle!
-
And here it is;
Wordle 1,411 4/6

But I'm heading to a new kind of millstone fairly shortly:

;)
-
Now, to ketchup on today's posts.
-
But first, from yesterday:
Thanks, Freddie, for the "Have a great rehearsal" and "Wellness vibes for your music director"!
-
And:
Thanks, Jane, for the Wellness vibes, also!

PAGE SEVEN RUPERT'S DANCE!!

~~~Break Legs Vibes for ChasSmith and Company!!~~~
-
Both last night and tonight's Into the Woods rehearsals went quite well.
-
Since our music director is still out, we mainly worked on the group numbers, and the little scenes that are only a page or two long.
-
Tonight, we choreographed the end of act one, then staged a whole bunch of the little scenes.
-
There are still some more to do, so they'll be staged tomorrow and Saturday.
-
I don't remember what's happening next week.
-
Hopefully, the music director will be well enough to return and work the music more thoroughly.
-
There are probably many more vibes due, so here's to health and wealth and giddy happiness vibes for everyone.
I just paid the big ugly quarterly property tax bill, so just imagine how giddy *I* am.
Ugg...I just paid my semi-annual property tax bill. It keeps going up and up! :P

Not entirely sold on Jonathan Groff. He seems to want to upstage his backup dancers. I could probably enjoy a cast album.
And to compare, here's the real Bobby Darin performing live:

I don't usually get hit-fest concert cast albums, but I might get this one. We'll see.

Oh, my goodness! That's definitely a hike in price!
-
Up are new notes.
-
I've seen them.
-
I've read them.
-
I wrote them.
-
They're very lusty.
-
Whew! George has returned to the fold.
To quote Daisy and Violet Hilton, "I will never leave you."
-
For obvious reasons.
-
And for sentimental reasons.
-
For reasons that are reasons.
-
Which is reasonable.

Darn! I haven't made them in a while, but I LOVE walnuts in chocolate chip cookies. :D
