Well, you've read the notes, the notes were private, and now it is time for you to post until the private cows come home.

Very exciting about the new musical, BK!  Congrats on the reading!

I first heard of Noah Weisberg from Legally Blonde: The Musical.  He was really good in that, but I've seen him in a few things since and I like him...and he's really cute, too. ;)

I'm happy to hear the reading went well. Do you need an orchestrator?

DR vixmom, this is the site I use to certify for my unemployment. I'm so sorry that you are now on my side of the employment line.

I finished Knowing Britten last night. It's a wonderful biography of much of Conductor Steuart Bedford's life, although it primarily focuses on the time between 1946 and 1976 when Britten died and Bedford was thirty-seven. My friend Donald Mitchell was Britten's publisher (Faber Music) and executor, and I was surprised to learn that Mitchell - in his few brief appearances in the book - was not one of Bedford's favorite people.

There is much humor in the book because tenor Christopher Gillett, who recorded and performed several Britten works (Albert in Albert Herring) with Bedford, is a very funny and savvy writer.  His three "Bottom" books about the life, travels, and travails of an opera singer are outrageously funny and brutally honest.

I’m enjoying the notes on the making of Nothing in Common, a movie I’ve never seen.

Work computer is having to reboot. My allergies are acting up. I hope these are not signs of how the day will go.

I watched the first episode of MANIFEST, and wanted to watch the rest, but somehow never got around to it.

I guess the only good news here is that for a time you will continue to receive the Federal expanded UI benefits.

I have added an hour of exercise to my morning routine. It's good for me, but I'm finding it's making me feel rushed going into my work day.

Vixmom, I'm so sorry to hear this. Because, as you said, and as we all have known, it's not just a job loss. It's the most ideal job you could have had, with good people and so close to home, etc.

Well, let's get to kicking those vibes into high gear.
