Taxes are done. Not a huge windfall, but at least we didn't owe anything. I'll take it.

Now making butternut squash soup from scratch.

The squash is a-roastin', and there are beans in the Instant Pot.

George, YouTube just recommended this Bette Middler special. Have you seen it?

I'm up, I'm up - I guess I got seven and a half hours of sleep, all told - fell asleep around three-fifteen, woke up at eight or so, was up until eleven, then slept from eleven to one. I now have to catch up with stuff really quickly so I don't fall behind. No Indiegogo action today, but that's the weekend for you.

DR ELMORE I always have a can of SPAM in my pantry. Now and then it is the only thing that will satisfy a craving.

And, for my part, I post oodles of SPAM here at HHW every day!

The hard part of the afternoon is done.

DR George have you booked an appointment for a covid vaccination?

Lord, this computer is behaving poorly. I think maybe I'll just restart it, that usually helps, but I'm getting that horrid spinning wheel too much. Maybe too many things working at the same time.

Not free, but for anyone interested in Bourne's The Red Shoes it's ten bucks through tomorrow. https://www.centertheatregroup.org/digitalstage/premium-events/matthew-bournes-the-red-shoes/?fbclid=IwAR1VNEDHaU_sz4DqLGvX0eSg7KQLBMlBVuKy7S8GCJJiVeQ2QlgDrOYfBKs

Can’t tonight, but I’m leaving the tab open to remind me to try to watch it tomorrow.

75%!!! 76% on the perks page, but I'll take the 75%. 100 bucks should have notched it to 76%, so it's probably just rounding it up on the perks page but not the home page. We're probably like ten bucks away to round up the perks page. Some nice Partridge fan PMd me saying she wanted to donate 100 bucks and asked if I had a PF photo with David - I only had two of those left so I never put those up. So, I put one copy up for her at 100 and she grabbed it. Next week she'll get There's Mel, There's Woody, and You.

Listened to the McGlinn Kim Criswell Annie Get Your Gun - I didn't care for it when it came out and I didn't care for it now, for many reasons. Now, I'm listening to the really weird Erich Kunzel studio album of The Music Man - I'd forgotten how loathsome this thing is. First mistake, butting an actual train sound under the opening number, clearly not understanding that its the patter that makes that rhythm. And using amateurs instead of actors is always a problem. Can't remember what Timothy Noble or Kathleen Brett are like, but Doc Severinsen as Marcellus??? Why do I have a memory of Frederica von Stade doing a Broadway musical studio cast album? Did she?

Ah, she did The Sound of Music with Kunzel. I have that somewhere. Telarc was critically acclaimed for their brilliant sound and recording techniques. I used to laugh when reading those idiotic reviews. They list the mics and how they monitored, and the critics and audiophiles just lapped it up. Not me. I knew it was crap then and it's ever worse now, I must say. Listening to Trouble - where's the band? Down the hall, it sounds like.

She was also in McGlinn's Show Boat. Timothy Noble was in Grind.

77%!!! 78% on the perks page. And finally closing in on 6K - once we hit that, it's only another 1500 to meeting the goal, but then we must cover the fees. And hopefully go over that so we can afford to commentaries.

Nothing bad, just the day didn't go as expected and I thought I would miss my afternoon walk. Then the sun came out, and since it is Daylight Saving time I headed out. To my shock it was raining.

I came back in and put my rain pants over my regular pants and headed back out. As I walked outside the rain stopped. If only I had waited 5 minutes before heading out to begin with.

Jane · « **Reply #83 on:** March 20, 2021, 06:16:10 PM »

It was a nice walk and I feel better.

I am glad, DR Jane.
