You ever have one of those ear worm days when you can’t get a lyric or melody out of your head? Mine today is from Sondheim’s Uptown Downtown:

She sits at the Ritz with her splits of Mumm’s
And starts to pine for a stein with her Village chums
But with a Schlitz in her mitts down in Fitzroy’s Bar,
She thinks of the Ritz, oh, it’s so schizo.

Yesterday DR Elmore and I somehow got on the subject of a show that I didn't know, but I thought I might have the CD. As it turns out, I didn't, but a friend has one he doesn't need and is sending it to me

It's an old Varese release of BK's called Little By Little. I always like learning about small shows, because you never know when you can use one. It calls for a cast of three, and a piano. DR Elmore says the music is good. I'll enjoy listening to it, and perhaps putting it in my "back pocket".

Nice score. Haven’t heard it in a while. Will have to dig it up.

Had a strawberry cream croissant with lunch today. And tasted a key lime cream-filled muffin. Moral of story: Do not lunch at an excellent bakery.

The composer and his girlfriend (is she his wife yet, possibly?) live here in our building.

Skip says they're not married.

[FJL]

So we don't have to feel bad about not being invited to their wedding.

[George]

Around 11:00 last night, one of the cats jumped onto my bed, left one of their catnip toys for me, and jumped off.  That's a token of love.

Last night, Neve was on my bed and started revving up to throw up, but nothing actually came out!  Whew!!  THAT'S a token of love.

[George]

Topic of the Day:  right now, I'm listening to the (concept? studio cast?) recording of Sounds Like Home: Songs from the Musical Light Years.  I like it.  I also have, and will listen to next, the original cast recording of Light Years: Live from Signature Theatre.

[George]

Speaking of woks, I’ve been planning on resuming an old daily regimen of taking one every day, and that could start today. Generally, these consist of a mile down the road and, perhaps coincidentally, a mile back.

I've been telling myself to do that for YEARS!

George, regarding last night's play:  One thing you might want to consider is that, during rhearsals, half of the cast believed that everything after the intermission (Peter Pan and the scene with Dad) takes place after Ann has died.  Micheal didn't want to play it that way.  As I said, we were split 50/50 on that point.  I think it makes more sense in some ways.  Certainly, it makes my line, "Of course I will.  I have been here all along." make more sense that way.  In fact, after the thinking about it last night before I fell asleep, I think I might have changed my vote over to the group that believes she was dead.  Worth thinking about.

That is worth thinking about.  So the script doesn't specify?

[George]

That was a nice picture DR GEORGE posted yesterday....I didn't know there was a Les Schwan's Tire Center in Tacoma.....

Thanks, Jrand, but actually, the picture was taken in downtown Olympia on Wednesday, on my way to see Red at a local community theater.

[George]

Great sky last night George.

Thanks, Jane!

[George]

I have my eye appointment this afternoon.

Good vibes!

~~~Ditto!!~~~

[George]

Power just went off - for literally one second - clocks are all fine, but of course the computer shut down, the modem shut down, the printer shut down, and the router shut down.  Just took ten minutes to get the computer back up and running.

I hate it when that happens!

I have that CD, also...somewhere.

This is the perfect time of year weather wise for you to leave your car at home and walk to work

Ha!

George - The author of "Red" is also the bookwriter of the stage version of "Moulin Rouge."

Little by Little is fun - not great, but fun. Brad Ross is very talented and the lyricists were good.

[bk]

Back from the worst chili, cheese, and onion hot dog ever - they must have had a substitute chef today, because it was made totally wrong - cheddar rather than American cheese (the difference is huge and not in a good way), cooked so the bun was burnt - I mean it was disgusting.  I thought about sending it back but I soldiered on and ate it. 

[bk]

Then I picked up packages and once again no important envelope.  I've had it with that so left a message (still nice) saying something was clearly wrong somewhere and that I would like a check overnighted to me.  We'll see how that goes.

This seems to be the consensus.

I didn't know that.
