Well, they didn't do the Webber-Rice version of Wizard of Oz after all.

They did the movie with all the versions and a couple of the cut songs, The Jitterbug and If I Only Had the Nerve.

The first act of the show was good. The second was really lackluster.

And maybe it was the orchestration, but "The Jitterbug" sounded an awful lot like "Last Midnight" from "Into the Woods."

The understudy played Dorothy. She was OK, but a little too American Idol. The dog was excellent.

But the show was long. 2.5 hours of long. In the second act that meant counting down the scenes until the bitter end.

I double-dipped and bought the Kindle edition. :)

Annabelle's nose is clogged again this morning so she won't eat. I'm quite frustrated because I hate torturing her, and I have no money at the moment for a vet.  Thanks to that damned email issue last week that wiped out my last bit of funds, I'm out of money until Social Security lands eight days from now.

~~~Continued Financial Vibes for Larry!!~~~

Thank you, DR George!  In this afternoon's post I received a check from Dublin's RTE Orchestra for €200.00/  My bank tells me it may take six weeks to get the money converted to dollars.

?? Thirty years ago, yes, but today?

I know!  Hopefully, they just say it takes that long so that they can give themselves a lot of wiggle room and then deliver it early...hopefully!

You got that backwards, John.  "The Jitterbug" was written almost 50 years before "The Last Midnight." ;)

Well, it's time for me to head home by way of my sister's house.  She's got some Girl Scout cookies that she doesn't want, so I'll take them.

Be back later.

Well, I got three and a half boxes of GS cookies from my sister.  Yummy!  A couple of boxes are now in my freezer for much later.

Speaking of that email issue, my friend who further complicated the situation and told me he'd get back to me the next day, has never contacted me since.  I guess he's now a "friend," and not a friend. 

Or perhaps he had/has a personal issue.  Why not reach out to him to see how he is

Excellent suggestion.

I was thinking about getting some kind of an electric heating pad for my cat, so I figured I'd start at Walmart, since that was closest to my sister's house.

Add me to the list of the sleep-deprived. Instead of one or two poor nights a week I've had four or five in the last week or so. Ugh! 

If I don't get some sleep soon I will have xaught up to you.

I think it might've been a return because the contents made noise when I picked it up. ::)
