I'm doing the same thing I do every year on the fourth, which is attend our friends' backyard bash complete with fireworks smuggled over from the wilds of the Pennsylvania state line. Their property backs onto a canyon that allows plenty of privacy for such hijinx.

But that one isn't till early evening. For something new this year, we're going to another one earlier at another friend's house not far from there, where there may or may not also be some of the same people.

I was going out to celebrate Canada Day with some other ex-Pats yesterday, but Paisley was still recovering from her spade procedure and could she was still in some discomfort and didn't want to leave her.

I am sure it was best you stayed home.

As for July 4th, no plans at this time.

Maybe staying home will turn out to be best again in case there are fireworks near you.

I wanna go back to bed. Going to be 102 again today.

You don't look a day over 30.

And I feel 104.

Last night i dreamed I was at Sondheim's townhouse; there was some sort of rehearsal/concert I was working on. I think Liz Callaway might have been involved. As I left, I passed a room where Leonard Bernstein was working at a desk and I went in and chatted with him for a while.

I remember very few dreams these days.

I rarely, if ever, even realize that I had a dream.

Good afternoon.

I can just imagine Leonard Bernstein hanging around with some friends and saying, "Last night I had this dream, I was sitting at this desk working, and Larry Moore came along and we chatted for a while."

First part of the day was having a telephonic conversation about a Sherman event problem caused by the amateur orchestra we're dealing with - but what people get with me in charge is decisiveness and I just handled the problem swiftly with no discussion and everyone involved was really happy to have had it solved.

Then I picked up a package, then Grant and I went to Barone's where I had the lunch version of carbonara and a small dinner salad - very good.

bk · « **Reply #74 on:** July 02, 2018, 02:41:31 PM »

Now I'm home, listening to Ella does Berlin (the composer, not the city) and working on the casting for the Sherman event.

We are cooling off at our hotel after a delightful afternoon of shopping in NoHo with former DR Jose. He's a great tour guide.

In about 40 minutes we'll venture back out for the 7pm curtain at BOOK OF MORMON.

Perchance former DR Jose could show up at an opportune moment on Saturday?

Another Amazon review showed up from "Amazon Customer" - have no idea who that is but it's a lovely thing so here it is:

Delicious Mind Candy: Forbidden & Enjoyable
ByAmazon Customeron July 2, 2018
Format: Paperback

Recommended by a friend who knew my tastes in reading favored historical biographies, GEE was a delicious retreat from the pressures of caregiving hospice patients. It was a romp thru history with the overall emotional reactions of those times mixed with facts.

I was seduced by the main character, a strong willed woman, indeed a survivor of her life choices. GEE was so well developed by author, Bruce Kimmel, that I felt I knew her personally.

Reading GEE is best described as mind candy as I thoroughly enjoyed 2 other forbidden passions: reading in bed and not putting this book down until I savored the very last word!

I am looking forward to reading more of Mr. Kimmel's works.

Great review, BK. Hope more people discover the book.

Just finished the Mediocre Showman, I mean the Greatest Showman. What a bland piece of filmmaking. I wonder what people are so jazzed about with this movie. I have friends who loved every minute of it. They watch it time and again with their kids, so it will become what Newsies was. But that doesn't mean it's good.

Peter is home from the hospital. He has a catheter that needs to remain in for five or six more days. Ow.

Let's move on.
