Well, you've read the notes, the notes had their nose to the grindstone, and now it is time for you to post until the nose to the grindstone cows come home.

And the word of the day is: UNWAVERING!

I forgot to mention, after the horror show of the cramped hands, yesterday was a complete day and evening with not a single cramp. Isn' that weird?

Topic of the Day: I've never made a big salad, but one that I remember enjoying was from the local Brewery City Pizza. They used to have a "family" salad that was, I suppose, for the table to share. One time, I had the whole thing all by myself. It's all that I ate, so even as a family salad, it wasn't a lot of calories...quite filling, though.
-
I also frequently get a dinner sized Caesar salad, usually with chicken. :)
-
Oh, and last night, I ordered Stage Door Records' newest "Digitally Extracted Stereo" limited releases, the studio cast recording of Brigadoon, with Jack Cassidy and Shirley Jones, and Susan Johnson as Meg!
-
BK, did you get a chance to listen to the MP3s that I sent you? Just curious what you thought of the sound quality.
-
And now, I'm off to bed.
Have a good day, all!

George, congratulations on your win at the casino!

Good morning, all!

Well, the Fat Orange Slug has now officially involved us in Venezuelan politics, and made life a bit more unsafe for all of us. Does it make you think he may be working with another country to destroy this one?
-
I slept rather well, but my body did not want to get up at 5:00. I finally got dressed around 5:45.

DR George, congratulations on your casino win!

DR John G, I spoke to Hugh Martin several times in 1998, when I was working on The Boys from Syracuse for Encores! He had a great sense of humor, especially about himself and his own work, and I found him absolutely charming. I sorta feel the same way about the score for High Spirits. I think the music and lyrics are great - for reasons I'll never know, "If I Gave You" breaks my heart - and I would love to see Martin's original sketches; I would love to know what Harry Zimmerman brought to the arran gements in his orchestrations, which I think are really good. The wonderful overture for the show was written by Luther Henderson.

Starting on Jardiance this morning for the first time. I hear it's a little pill with a big story to tell.

Always fun to read the classic online spoof
STEPHEN SONDHEIM DISSECTS THE JARDIANCE JINGLE
https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/stephen-sondheim-dissects-the-jardiance-jingle
Over the years, in later versions of the commercial, the makers of the commercial have corrected this misplaced accent:
"Also, unless I’m mistaken, throughout the English-speaking world, it’s pronounced story, not stor-EEE."
-
Good morning, all.
-
Per today’s topic, I have thus far this year succeeded in NOT putting my nose to the grindstone, except on a few superficial things. Monday will be my real start day on a few more important things.

Good morning, friends.

Bad night of insomnia led me to finish The Briar Club, which was highly enjoyable. I guessed one of the two big twists, but not the other.

I think that recording of Boys is a desert island disc for me, and Martin’s vocal arrangements, especially on Sing for Your Supper, are out of this world.

I had a chef’s salad yesterday for dinner. A crisp iceberg mix with carrots and red cabbage topped with ham, turkey, hard-boiled egg, cheese and tomato. It’s a favorite of mine at the local diner chain, Jim’s.
-
I forgot to mention, after the horror show of the cramped hands, yesterday was a complete day and evening with not a single cramp. Isn' that weird?
That's great!
-
Jim’s used to have the most hilarious billboard and I could never tell if it were intentional. Imagine on one side a huge photo of a cowboy’s crotch with a large rodeo-style belt buckle at the top. Then a smaller image of his backside. The tagline was “Meat me at Jim’s.”

The only arrangement Hugh did was "Sing for your supper." I did the "Come With Me," and that duet of "The Shortest Day of the Year," which was supposed to be a solo for Rebecca Luker's character in the original libretto was a faux duet put together by Rob Fisher. I never knew if that happened to give Malcom Gets more to sing or if it was a harebrained idea from that great harebrained director Susan Shulman. Ugh.

I went to acupuncture yesterday, then slept 9 (!) hours last night! This is rare for me. I think the acupuncture helped.

DR George, you might think about using earthquake hangers. I'm sure they would be easy for you to do.
It could be something to think about. My two bathroom mirrors are pretty much the only heavy things that are hanging that aren't secured. All my pictures are posters in light frames, or just canvases over stretchers, nothing else in a frame.

This morning, though, I became very congested. Ugh. Sambucol wasn’t acting fast enough (read: I was impatient), so I switched to my super-duper anti-viral. I was feeling better soon, but the congestion isn’t completely gone. I’ll switch back to the Sambucol soon— it’s great for congestion.

There is a couple in our building we are friends with. They usually go to the gym at the same time as we do. She surprised me when she got on the treadmill next to me and was also wearing a mask. Once the guy on the other side of me got off I took my mask off, and since the person on the other side of her got off she also removed her mask.

Last night I called the little vegan Italian restaurant and asked if they ever make calzones, as it’s not on their menu. The answer was yes, for ourselves, but not for customers. She agreed to make me one. It was sooo good! I’ve never been a pizza lover, but I love calzones. Strange since it’s basically a pizza folded over.

I made these the year of the Covid Christmas and delivered them to the doors of my family.

My salads at home are my dinner. I use cabbage instead of lettuce, adding an assortment of vegetable, beans, and tofu, or hard boiled eggs. I usually add toasted slivered almonds, and sometimes avacado.
-
Restaurants often list vegetarian and vegan options which is great. The problem is most of these options don't include protein. When we are traveling I look for cob salads with black beans.

Good night, friends.

And others.
-
Back from rehearsal.
-
Run-through was a little sloppy for my taste. Act one ran fifty minutes, so that act is very close to what I want it to be.
-
Act two ran fifty-five and is ten minutes too long- but in that act the line calls were way too frequent, and then they'd go back a few lines and do it again, etc. I don't think it will be hard to get it down - the entire courtroom scene was too slow so if we shave five minutes off that fifteen or twenty, we'll be very close.
-
After the run-through, we went back to the top and I got through the first half of act one doing detail work. I changed some blocking, added a bit of ography, changed an entrance location, and worked on the timing.
-
Then dinner at the Coral Cafe.
-
Now I'm home and about to start futzing and finessing and then writing new pages. My goal for the next ninety minutes is futzing and finessing and then writing at least six new pages and then later four more.

It was a K-95 or whatever those are called.

I used to love the Walla Walla Sweet Onion dressing.
Yes. Maybe a tad sweet, but delicious.
-
My favorite salad has to be a traditional Greek salad. No lettuce. Just ultra-fresh tomatoes, Kalamata olives, bell peppers, red onion, maybe capers and a slab of feta cheese on top. Drizzle your finest olive oil on top and sprinkle a little dried Greek oregano over the whole plate.
-
The Cretan version comes with bits of stale rusk to soak up the oil, maybe sliced cold potato and possibly anchovies.
-
Watching 49th Parallel. It’s fairly intense.
-
Laurence Olivier hammed it up royally. His French Canadian accent was ridiculous.

Glynis Johns is so young in this movie.

DR George, does the cashout voucher come out of a slot machine?
Yes. Whenever you're done, there's a "Cash out" button on every machine for you to print the voucher. You can either actually get the cash (there are kiosks or you can go to the info desks), or you can put it in another machine and continue playing with that amount, or you can add cash at each machine, or you can actually take home the voucher and give it as a gift. The voucher can only be used, of course, at that specific casino.

DR George, you might think about using earthquake hangers. I'm sure they would be easy for you to do.
It could be something to think about. My two bathroom mirrors are pretty much the only heavy things that are hanging that aren't secured. All my pictures are posters in light frames, or just canvases over stretchers, nothing else in a frame.
They would make a horrible mess if they fell off of the wall and shattered.
Uhhh...yup.

I don't have anything behind my bed, just an opening to the floor below. My "bedroom" is actually a loft above the bedroom proper.

Last night I called the little vegan Italian restaurant and asked if they ever make calzones, as it’s not on their menu. The answer was yes, for ourselves, but not for customers. She agreed to make me one. It was sooo good! I’ve never been a pizza lover, but I love calzones. Strange since it’s basically a pizza folded over.
That's great when a local place will accommodate special requests like that. I wonder if they'd consider adding it to their menu if enough other people start asking for it.

I've been scanning in my old programs and it's been fun remembering those concerts. Today was the Boston Symphony Orchestra concerts from when we lived there.

bk, did you ever see Ormandy conduct live? I know how much you love his recordings. I remembered seeing him and now I found the program from back in 1980. The program was the Harris 3rd, Hindemith Mathis der Maler, and Pictures.

Do they have gout?

They don't pout.

They do twist and shout.

And spout.

And tout.
