I tried to post a picture but it’s too large ...it’s on FB now if anyone cares to shrink it and post it here

I commented too soon

Grant played the owner of a newspaper. When a reporter asked what he'd get if he landed an important story, Grant promises to make him managing editor. "As if that were any reward," the reporter responds.

Ha!

Sounds like a great day of theater, Vixmom!

It was a lovely day all around, good food, good company, good shows and no traffic issues either way....and it was very nice weather wise as well

Lovely indeed.

I finished proofing the book - the perfunctory proof I call it, just looking for the easy-to-spot crap of which there was a lot because of the nature of a book of lyrics. So, I have seven typed double-spaced pages of those fixes and usually it's just moving a line onto a new page or an indent or something simple like that. Now, I'll go through it again for other stuff. I really do have to carefully proof each lyric because the proofers don't know them and wouldn't necessarily spot a mistake - early on I found three lyrics where I'd left out several lines in each. So, must do that. The prose has been carefully proofed and I'm not concerned about that, so I'll just give those sections a once-over for bad breaks and stuff like that.

I'm glad Rare Tracks was so interesting that not a single person can find the damn thing. And no, I cannot retrieve it from iTunes - it's IN iTunes as Sound Designer filled which, iTunes, in all their wisdom, doesn't recognize anymore. I have no back-up as old as when iTunes did.

And we're done!

It all went really well and the audience really liked it!

Tonight, we're going to the director's house for a cast party, so I'll be out late.

I won't be back before the day changes, so have a good day tomorrow, all!

Mack and Mabel was excellent

I would love to see MACK AND MABEL just once. I know all about the “book problems,” but I can live with that.

I talked to my sister today, one of her dogs is not well. It sounds like the dog may have had a stroke.

TCB · « **Reply #134 on:** February 22, 2020, 11:45:01 PM »

And the dog is only about four years old.

While Nick, at 18+, just keeps rolling along.

TCB · « **Reply #136 on:** February 22, 2020, 11:46:05 PM »

But not very well.

Tomorrow is a stay at home day.

We are expecting lots of rain and wind.

TCB · « **Reply #139 on:** February 22, 2020, 11:47:31 PM »

I have no reason to leave the house.

TCB · « **Reply #140 on:** February 22, 2020, 11:47:50 PM »

Time to get back to my book.
