I did sleep very well. Around 8:00 last night, ut was really cold in the apartment, and I was afraid we had another heating issue, like last week's. When I heard the heat click in around 5:00 this morning, I was very happy.

DR singdaw, I've never seen The Concert in performance, and it's my belief that the ballet is for piano solo, so I was surorused that Viennese performance had an orchestration. If my memory is correct, The Comcert  is performed to Chopin piano pieces, so perhaps the video peoducer decided to find an orchestrated recording for the taping.

I just checked Wikipediam and I was right about Chopin!

We had a great closing night, and the closing of an era with this show. Cast par-tay was nice and not too long, and I made myself load the equipment into the car instead of going back today for it. Got home, sat up for a bit, then literally crashed. I slept solidly through the night for my first time in weeks.

Happy Sunday to everyone! On the new Broadway Radio Show, Celia Berk is back to chat with me about her Autumn & Winter EPs from the Fours Seasons of Song collection. Winter was released last week and it's a terrific conclusion to this wonderful artistic achievement! Make sure to check out all 4 of Celia's EPs and check out the interview to hear how this fascinating project came together.

So much for the drinking water cure for muscle contraction. My right hand was locked up for about thirty minutes. I was ready to stick my head in the oven.

I'm sorry.  It sounds painful.  Does putting your hand in warm water help at all?

I hope you will continue drinking water as it is very important to do so when taking prednisone.

LOL regarding the bananas.  I rarely eat them now as ripe ones give me a headache and the others, especially if on the green side, give me a stomach ache.  I've had those types of foot cramps in the last year.  They are rather different from the foot cramps I've had most of my life.

John & Rodzinksi, who both like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, it was a fun movie.  We had planned to watch it a couple of weeks ago, however, I had a headache and decided it we should wait.  Am I glad we did ;D

Before the opening credits I did not realize this was loosely based on a Brett Halliday novel.  DR Michael introduced me to the Michael Shayne PI series years ago. 

I hope Michael see this post as I am very interested in his opinion of the movie.

I think Kiss Kiss is great Christmas fun.

It was.  I also need to read subtitles and I really could not have kept up with the energy if we watched it when I wasn't feeling great ;D

Salad was good, but by about the two-thirds mark gets a little boring.

What happened to George - a no-show last night and so far all of today.

I placed a big Amazon Fresh order for the Do, but of course they're out of one item I need and they charge twenty bucks OVER the cost, just in case. I think THAT is a class action lawsuit in the making. If it goes over just do that additional charge, because when they do the pre-charge for more and then the real charge, sometimes both charges stay there for days and that is not right.

They're not the only ones who do that, either.

Instacart, however, never does that.

But Instacart is no longer reliable.

Fresh delivery is tonight at some point. Hopefully, I'll get the alert or they'll ring the bell. After the stolen packages, nothing can be delivered here unless I'm here to get it.

I finished VALENTINO w/commentary. Interesting.

It's available on TUBI if you've never seen it and can take all of the commercial breaks.

How’s Huntz Hall in that?

Can you do a pick up in your car instead of a delivery?  I have never done this and don't know if the cost is less.  It just seems like it should be.

I would have added some vegetables.

We had a great closing night, and the closing of an era with this show. Cast par-tay was nice and not too long, and I made myself load the equipment into the car instead of going back today for it. Got home, sat up for a bit, then literally crashed. I slept solidly through the night for my first time in weeks.

Whew!  Hopefully, you have a respite before your next endeavor!
