I know that the mini-HHW reunion will be a blast.
There has been no noise from upstairs today, and no emails or texts. Either they have hired the first silent installers, or they got the hint. I am sorry, but I will take them to court if I have to do so to prevent the removal of the carpets..
Tonight is our final rehearsal for HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME, we open tomorrow night.
I apologize for missing last night's show. I wasn't sure that I would get to it because of my current health situation, but around mid-afternoon my gastrointestinal system in a determined effort to my life more miserable flared up, and I spent much of my time after that in the bathroom with three curious cats chatting at me and offering unwanted advice. By 7:00 EST I was in bed.
Show was great, as always, and the after chat was most enjoyable.
The YouTube buffering was just bizarre. I don't think I've ever experienced that as badly as last night.Like I said in the chat, my connection here is really solid 99% of the time, and very fast. Xfinity has raised our speeds several times over the years, and any speed tests I've run have always hit excellent numbers. But when I'm at my desk, which is always the case when watching these shows, I'm also not depending on WiFi speeds. I'm connected directly to the modem/router via ethernet, for best possible speeds. So when I experience glitches like last night, it's for certain that the fault is not here in the house.Someone said they got rid of it by simply going back half a minute or so. I don't even know how I'd do that on a live stream. Maybe they meant refreshing the page?
Where is Daniel Bellusci these days? He hasn't been in the last couple of shows, and I missed his showing up to inject some more humor into the program. I hope he's well.

But many other priorities are ahead of it.You've missed nothing. What the book needs is a good spooky mini-series that follows its anti-fascist theme, and not the musical's ridiculous plot.

Reading a bit about Marc Blitzstein's "choral opera," The Condemned, a telling of the Sacco & Vanzetti story for four choirs and orchestra. Composed in 1932, it has never been published, performed, or recorded. He considered it some of his best work, apparently.
I'll take care of it, DR John G.!

We chatted a bit and were thinking that we'd get together on Monday (today) and ketchup on things that've happened over the last couple of years. I guess it is good we backed out of lunch today. We will be leaving soon and hope the traffic isn't as bad as we feared.

The 28th was the first day we were permitted to buy tickets to enter Glacier National Park. Within a second of the tickets going on sale the allotted number for the day were sold out. Each morning Keith was at the computer ready to hit the enter key and today he won the lottery. We now have a ticket to drive into the park!

We are off the 5 and connecting to 101.
