I would be very angry with a driver for not masking correctly.  I am sorry you have to deal with out.  Is there anyway to stipulated a masked driving when ordering the car?

Well, the major miracle happened but wasn't quite as major as I needed it to be - however, very helpful and will help me through the next couple of months.

Great news but am sorry it wasn't as major as you had hoped.

Ditto and ditto. :-\

Visiting friends?  Sure.  Going to movies?  Of course.  Seeing family?  That hasn't stopped.  But the whole theatrical experience has been what I've been doing since college.

I've been reading about the Signature Theater production of Simply Sondheim. Sounds good, but I'm not sure I want to spend $35 to watch it. But I would spend that for a live theatrical production.

Watching a shaggy dog documentary called Becoming Leslie about the self-titled mayor of Austin, a thong-wearing, cross-dressing homeless guy known throughout the city. Some of it is funny and charming, but there are truly harrowing stories.

I am looking for a first birthday gift, something the kid already doesn't have.  I had thought a good push toy, however, tonight we received a video of a very happy girl pushing something similar.

Originally we wanted to get her a giant stuffed bear, however, Bryan says they don't have room for one.

I have moved on to a baby doll which doesn't excite Keith at all ;D

Hopefully as delivery from any service is no longer trustworthy.

I planned to three items from Amazon when I realized one item wouldn't be delivered until March.

I checked out the Signature Theatre thing. It's $35, and you only get to watch it for 72 hours before you'll have to buy another ticket.

It's almost worth it to hear David Loud's vocal arrangements - always something special in the put-togethers.

Forgot to mention that I watched the Met Porgy and Bess last night - I didn't care for the production much and liked the Bess a lot and Porgy not so much. I thought the Sportin' Life was too today and not any fun at all - the Crown was good and so were others, but it was slow, which is always the problem. If you listen to the CD we put out, those tempos are really brisk and the production is paced just that way.

I needed to give my eyes a break from all electronic devises for a while. Been reading Michael Riedel’s Singular Sensation:The Triumph of Broadway. I’m almost halfway through, but, after a juicy opening section on Sunset Boulevard, I’m finding it flat. There’s not enough in the storytelling to make it sing. I mean, when you have a heartbreaker like the story of Jonathan Larson’s death and it doesn’t move you, well ...

Just finished our read-through of Urinetown - still a great script.  Looking forward to getting started and getting these songs learned and recorded - the new normal
