DR elmore3003 - do you get to choose your music during your MRI?  Bring some Bach!

Well, I was half right about the vaccination appointments opening up today for the 65+ group. Things didn't change at midnight or during the wee hours, but at the top of each hour this morning there was some very slight movement to be detected. But you had to be quick. It's cutthroat out there.

I almost didn't check at 9:00, then I did, and there were two time slots available at my venue of cherce (the local hospital) for next Tuesday the 16th. I took about four seconds to glance at one other day, came back to find one of those two already gone, hurriedly clicked on the remaining one... AND GOT IT.  :)

YAY!  Congratulations!

And of course we had to get another, um, gosh darned inch or more of snow sometime during the night. But the good news is that when that happens, we can often blow it off with the leaf blower, and that's exactly what Nathan was doing when I went downstairs for my first cuppa coffee. I have no idea why other people don't seem to think of that, but I can tell you that our driveway is now the only clean one around here.

You might let them know of your secret to easily clearing the driveway.

I got an appointment after all. I get the first shot tomorrow.

Fast too.  It sounds as if there was a cancellation.  Congratulations!

I redialed about 500 times. Then waited a half hour before a live voice came on. She was nice and efficient. Everything happened in less than 10 minutes. The best was her telling me to ignore everything I had heard three times on the hold loop. I didn’t get to choose my location or anything else.

Do you have to travel far to get it?

DR TCB did you find someone to shovel your sidewalk?  Do you also have a walkway that needs shoveling?

So, I get this panic e-mail from someone who ordered a Follies CD yesterday. He already had the CD and wanted to cancel - written in ALL CAPS with lots of exclamation points. And no name. Like I'm supposed to divine who he is. People are nuts.

I don't think he does send to Playbill - he's a luddite and I have to spoon feed every single place it should go. He knows B'way World and after three years of trying, finally Talking' Broadway. Playbill's next.

He must be 10.

It's snowing here in Tumwater!  It's melting as soon as it hits pavement (so far), but they're going to close our building at 3:00 today, so I'll get to leave then.

Got this lovely review from Steven Stanley. Funny about the wedding ring, which none of us noticed, not that there was anything to be done about it. Next time we have a continuity person with us :)

High school sweethearts reconnect two decades after their breakup in writer-composer-lyricist-director Bruce Kimmel’s World Premiere virtual musical two-hander Tonight’s The Night, 60 minutes you won’t want to miss either tomorrow (February 12 at 6:00 Pacific Time) or on Valentines Day Sunday (February 14 at 5:00 PST).
Watch by clicking here:
https://www.youtube.com/c/haineshisway

Broadway’s Eric Petersen and The Group Rep treasure Hartley Powers could hardly be more perfectly cast or have more instant chemistry than they do as 30something exes who find themselves face to face for the first time in twenty years thanks to the magic of Zoom, and though it’s clear to us from the get-go that these two are clearly made for each other, in the time-honored tradition of the genre we call romcom, it’s equally evident that it will take each of them a good deal longer (i.e. an hour to be precise) to figure this out, especially since each recalls their breakup a good deal differently from the other.

Anyone who’s caught Eric on Broadway in Shrek, Peter And The Starcatcher, School Of Rock, or Escape From Margaritaville, or in four National Tours, or here as an L.A. transplant in UMPO Stranger Things or Something Rotten knows that is one singularly multi-talented gent, and those who’ve seen Hartley at the The Group Rep at the Lonny Chapman Theatre in Bruce’s A Carol Christmas (or opposite yours truly in The Man Who Came To Dinner) has been dazzled by just how dazzlingly she lights up a stage.
Together they could not be more gosh darn appealing, and never more so than when delivering Bruce’s back-and-forth snappy patter or performing ten or so of the irresistibly tuneful songs he’s seemingly got a million of.

I did wonder how someone who makes her living designing websites these socially distant days could have managed to never once have a zoom conference with a client and Eric’s wedding ring (which apparently got remembered and removed about ten minutes too late) had me a tad confused when his character proclaimed himself twice divorced and currently single, but these are teeny tiny quibbles in a production that proves how much can be achieved these days with Zoom as one’s performance platform.
Shot in crystal-clear Hi Def, Tonight’s The Night looks as good as it sounds, and the icing on the cake is the 11th hour arrival of Eric’s real-life daughter Sophie, an absolute charmer if there ever was one.

The same can be said for Tonight’s The Night.

That's great, BK!

We had light rain this morning, then very light snow flurries on my afternoon walk.  I don't see anything now.

I usually do.  At times I have thought the actor put his wedding ring on the right hand instead of removing it.

I also notice rings in commercials where I wonder if the character really needs to be married, or if the actor/actress really is and it doesn't matter.

And now, I'm off for the day.  I need to go to my sister's and help my niece put an additional tarp over her chicken coop to help keep out the cold.

Be back later.

Saw my urologist today. I got stones. Plural. Big stones and bigger stones. I have to see him in two months, plus tests in the meantime.

Good idea.  Is it windy there?  I put my mask on during my walk when no one was around me.  It cut the chill from the wind.
