Some dear friends lost their daughter in a car crash yesterday.

Things that seemed vitally important to me at this time yesterday somehow don't seen nearly as important now.

I had a strange dream about The Yearling, a film I don't believe I've ever seen or book I've never read. And now one of the songs from the musical version, "One Promise Come True," keeps running through my head!

The book is wonderful, though it is not the kid book it seems to be presented as.

And One Promise is probably my favorite song from the score

Good Morning - home today for catch-up. Had to call Alaska Airlines today as my flight schedule to Orlando in June has been altered. I'm not really happy with the changes. What was a one-way flight back to SF is now a one-stop flight leaving Orlando 7 hours earlier than I anticipated. I'll need to ponder this a bit. Anyway, I'm sure I'll let it go and just go with whatever.

Groan. I hate when that happens. Good luck figuring it out.

I tend to get rather air sick and the worst part can be the landing. I do my best to take as flew flights as possible.

BK, let me recommend a few ballet DVDs I think you might like. The first DVD is taken from a series of NYC Ballet performances in Paris, and it includes Balanchine's great macabre ballet about Death and the Maiden, La Valse, to Ravel's "Valses nobles et sentimentales" and "La Valse." The older videos on YouTube are shaky and out of focus.

I'm also a big Frederick Ashton fan, and I think you might like these two, Messager's love story, The Two Pigeons, and his very funny La Fille Mal Gardée, about an old mother's attempts to keep her virginal daughter away from the man she loves to marry the rich landowner's moronic son.

Most of what's on its way is Royal Ballet, including the Rhapsody one. The top one is in my cart for next time and perhaps I'll add the bottom one.

I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep. Doing yet another Microsoft update - so irritating and just did one six days ago AND it doesn't even show you the task bar anymore or have anything to click on - it just takes whatever time it takes, which is usually about twenty minutes and then you're supposed to divine that it's done.

Today it seems really cold in the apartment. It's a rainy day, so maybe that's part of the problem.

Some days I wish the cats feared me. Stella is working my last nerve today following me and dancing around my feet.

I think La Fille Mal Gardée will amuse you with its dancing chickens and the old lady's wonderful clog dance.

Amazon sent me an email saying a package had been delivered, and there was a photo of a door and doormat with a package lying on it, only it wasn't my door. In my search for the correct door Stella escaped, and I had to deal with her as well. The Amazon delivery dropped it off at my neighbor Judy's door.

I do hope cabin fever is not getting to me!

Okay, new book is up for pre-order in the Indiegogo campaign - signed, free postage, and the usual pre-order fun stuff. Go pre-order and I think we can reach our goal.

I just posted something about one of Trump's lawyers on Facebook and as soon as I hit "post," I thought, I'd better change that. Before I could, a popup immediately appeared telling me I had violated their policies and I am banned for three days. It beats 30 days, but WTF? Is someone sitting on my account waiting to pounce?
