Back from picking up packages.  Before I left, I noticed a package at the front door.  That was from John Schak, who's cleaning up Harvey Schmidt's house and cataloging and stuff.  He sent me Harvey's closer shot of the marquee of the Lido Theater that adorns the cover of Benjamin Kritzer - apparently Harvey had it hanging in his house and it's signed, so that was very sweet of John.

Re: BK's post about the bank branch being closed.

I don't know if your bank has this. But here they are letting you deposit your cheques from home. I don't know exactly what you have to do. But apparently it is quite easy.

Turns out the Kentucky Shakespeare production of Henry IV, Part 2 was only being offered this weekend, so I really did luck into it. They apparently showed part 1 last weekend. That was filmed in 2018 and had the same cast. The same cast was supposed to do Henry V this summer. We'll see if it happens.

Off to take a break. Maybe Henry V this evening, just to finish off that chapter of the story.

I am happy that today I remembered a bike path very nearby that does not have a lot of traffic. I can't bike around the lake near me (bikes aren't allowed). although i still wouldn't have gone as there are people who walk around it. Most of the bike paths nearby have tons of people walking on them. So there is no way that I would feel comfortable when the path is only 5 feet wide. But I remembered that last year they made a bike path that is not scenic. But goes down one really long road (like 1 or 2 miles). The bike path is pretty wide. But there are not that many cars on the street. So i can easily go off the bike path and drive on the other side of the street if i have to. The whole way and back i only came across two groups of two people. So I am very happy about this. As just biking on nearby streets is not much exercise.

You must feel like we do finding new streets to walk around here :)

Fred Willard has died. He wrote his own chapter of today’s TOD. His cluelessness made him a riot in Best in Show and For Your Consideration among other movies.

Fred Willard was a great guy and great friend to LA theater.  He came to many of my opening nights with wife Mary, and I'm pretty sure the last time I saw him was at the Group Rep for The Man Who Came to Dinner.  I know he was there for A Carol Christmas and Dial 'M' for Murder.

Cobbled together a dinner of leftover BBQ and a coleslaw that was good.

I remember now you mentioned him at an opening or two. Nice.

Greetings!   I went to the farmer's market today.  I heard they were going to insist people follow their social distancing etc rules.  Well, there were a lot of people who were, but there were groups that were definitely not following them.  They said no animals (I'm guessing so people won't come up and pet them and get close to people) but people had their dogs.  They said stay 6 feet apart and people where gathered in the middle of the walkway with babies. Chatting with other friends with babies, no one wearing a mask.   I wore a mask as did many others.  All the vendors wore masks and had everything marked off where they wanted you to stand etc.   I bought some leaf lettuce, heirloom tomatoes and kohlrabi and got the heck out of there.

Do you plan to return?

Oh, I don't know.  i've never been really big on it because it's so much more expensive than the grocery store or other roadside stands

DR Cilla I noticed the customer at the barber shop was not wearing a mask, which means your friend the barber is not protected.  Has he asked his customers to wear one?

Well if he's shaving or cutting around their ears, they probably have to take it off.  He's very conscientious about it and is even going to get COVID certified this coming week

Good.  Keith said when he returns for a haircut he plans to keep his mask on.  We shall see if he continues with that after his first haircut, depending what that looks like.

Another death. Phyllis George. I met her briefly a lifetime ago when she was first lady of Kentucky, married to Gov. John Y. Brown. She was having fun that day. It was the opening of the Armand Hammer exhibit at UK. She was running around and giggling with the university president’s wife. Hammer was there with his wife, and we got a private tour of the exhibit with them. George had a good art history background and was able to keep up her end of the conversation. The Hammers were the most unassuming billionaires you could ever want to meet.

Well, the Barn Theatre production of Henry V is over. I usually don't mind theaters that stage shows where actors have to play multiple characters, but this one somehow crossed a line. There were only eight actors for about 25+ parts. Several actors with beards were so visually distinct that I couldn't tell if they were a follower of Falstaff, a British soldier, a French soldier, a member of the French court. The costumes, especially of the soldiers, were too close to each other. But the power of the script took over, and the last 45 minutes or so had a very sharp focus and contained that Shakespearean power.
