Well, you've read the notes, the notes needed fresh batteries, and now it is time for you to post until the not included cows come home.

And the word of the day is: JOCUND!

So, today my co-workers are going out to lunch, but I don't know where, yet. I'm sure that it'll all be very good.

George · « **Reply #3 on:** June 16, 2021, 12:43:43 AM »

The only thing is that we'll probably go to lunch at either 11:30 or 12:30. Going out to lunch AT noon is just TOO crowded everywhere, especially since more places are opening up. So, if you go just before the crowd arrives, or just after the big rush, it's all usually fine.

And now, I'm off to bed.

Have a good day, all!

It's been a tense morning alreadyI live in a house of cards, and while I was struggling to rise from the computer chair, a stack of CDs that I had stupidly let pile up in a flimsy stack fell onto the floor because of the wobbling table. The result was roo many discs on the loose and a few broken cases. Sadly, the stack fell on Thatch who was eating his breakfast. He seems to be okay now, but I was terrified for around 30 minutes - while he wqent into hiding and I couldn't find him - that I'd injured him.

BK, I'm hoping with DR George that your dress rehearsal bodes for a good opening. I have a memory from 1977 or so of a dress rehearsal of The Fantasticks, in which DR Ginny plated The Mute, where everything went wrong in the first 15 minutes: props not in place and other aggravations. I blew up, gave the crew 15 minutes to get their shit together, and we began again from the top.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vibes for a successful opening! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DR singdaw, I hope your employment megillah is speedily and happily resolved.

This morning Michael Gildin returns to assist me. I look forward to it. We'll work on the Miami University cartons and God knowns what else.

Last night we watched the Criterion blu-ray of Midnight Cowboy, which I last saw in 1969 with my friend Peter Oberlink. I remembered almost none of the film, only Sylvia Miles, Bob Balaban's confession that he had no money to pay Joe, the Warhol-esque party, Bernard Hughes' beating in the hotel, and Hoffman's death on the bus. I never imagined in 1969 that one day Barney Hughes and his wife would be two of my favorite people or that I would cry like a baby when I learned of his death.

And then, DR Elmore, there was the “Charlie Brown” dress rehearsal in which I, as Lucy, took a nosedive off the front of the stage at the end of the opening number.

Additional vibes for DR George and company…

Thank you, Vixmom, for your Chili’s review. It’ll keep me away for a while, too. Last time I ate there was when it was the only place open after midnight during a long drive. The meal didn’t help matters.
