Page five is in absentia.

I thought that my appointment was at 11:45, BUT it turns out that it's at 1:45.

At long last, page five.

Fanfare.

Normally, the time change wouldn't be a problem, but I have a meeting at 1:00 that's scheduled to last for two hours!

Trumpets.

Drums.

bk · « **Reply #127 on:** June 09, 2021, 11:22:25 PM »

Tubular bells.

bk · « **Reply #128 on:** June 09, 2021, 11:22:33 PM »

Maracas.

A parade of ostriches.

I had to let my former supervisor (who's running the meeting) know that I'll have to leave early. $:-\$

George · « **Reply #131 on:** June 09, 2021, 11:24:04 PM »

I can be there for the first half hour, and hopefully, that'll be good.

George · « **Reply #132 on:** June 09, 2021, 11:24:28 PM »

Maybe someone will take notes so that I'll find out what happened after I left.

George · « **Reply #133 on:** June 09, 2021, 11:25:00 PM »

OR hopefully, they won't need me there to answer whatever questions that they might have.

George · « **Reply #134 on:** June 09, 2021, 11:27:51 PM »

Or more appropriately, they won't actually have any questions that I would need to be there to answer.

George · « **Reply #135 on:** June 09, 2021, 11:28:41 PM »

There's also the (infinitesimally small) chance that the eye doctor could call and ask if I could come in early.

George · « **Reply #136 on:** June 09, 2021, 11:30:42 PM »

If I had known this a couple of days ago, I would've said that I can't be at a meeting at that time, and the meeting would've been changed to a new time.

George · « **Reply #137 on:** June 09, 2021, 11:31:05 PM »

That could also happen...the meeting could be rescheduled.

George · « **Reply #138 on:** June 09, 2021, 11:31:18 PM »

We'll see.

George · « **Reply #139 on:** June 09, 2021, 11:31:30 PM »

Either way, it'll be what it'll be.

My friend Charlie Harmon, who worked for Bernstein, told me the basics of this story years ago, but this is definitive!

That has to be one of the best stories ever. Thank you. Reading it and watching the accompanying video quite literally improved my morning.

I downloaded the article as a PDF and will read it at my lunch, then watch the video when I get back from lunch.

Well, I didn't get to read the article at lunch, but I just finished it! Wow! What a story!

George · « **Reply #141 on:** June 09, 2021, 11:48:07 PM »

And it's a great video, too!

George · « **Reply #142 on:** June 09, 2021, 11:59:07 PM »

After that, I now have to listen to a whole bunch of versions of "Glitter and Be Gay," starting, of course, with Barbara Cook's version...as well one should!

George · « **Reply #143 on:** June 10, 2021, 12:02:03 AM »

Here's Madeline Kahn's version.

George · « **Reply #144 on:** June 10, 2021, 12:02:53 AM »

And June Anderson's version.
