WHISTLE WHILE YOU WORK

Well, you've read the notes, the notes whistled while they worked, and now it is time for you to post until the whistling cows come home.

That article about the senators was pretty funny!  I'm sure that their repressed, religious views of the time were the real basis for their "opinions." ::)

So last night, I was trying to find out the title of a CD that Patti LuPone was on, and I eventually found it.  It's called "House of Sleeping Beauties," which is electronic/sountrack-type music by Lucia Hwong, and Patti is one of the two voices (there are no lyrics).  I came across THIS PODCAST where the hosts talked about this album.  I then looked through their podcast website and they had an episode about a theatre organist named Lyn Larson!  Was that our very own (former) DR Music Guy??  Yes, it was!  Pretty cool! :D

Bad night of sleep. I was very restless. I did have a dream in which I was with several elderly ladies, now deceased, I worked with between 1973 and 1978. In this dream, Peggy, Mildred, and I were in this long cafeteria line getting either lunch or dinner.

I have two important calls to make today, The first is to Access-a-Ride for tomorrow's trip to 22nd Street that they botched last week. Then I need to make an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon. I hope the rest of the day goes quietly.

My Fitbit tells me what percentage of the night I was "restless." It's kind of eerie.

Thanks for the CD information, DR George. I had never heard of Jennifer Nettles. But like you said, hats off to anyone releasing Broadway music these days.

I had a dream that a paper of mine had been picked up for publication. At the same time, an older paper on No, No, Nanette had also been picked up. Because of the work involved someone else was going to shepherd the Nanette paper for me, but he tried to claim it as his own work and I had to prove it was all mine.

And now yesterday we got a wonderful lesson in "how to write a song."

And they say the inner web is not educational!

This is weird. I thought our carefully planned three-day HEAT WAVE was starting today and running through Thursday. But I just looked, and now they're saying Wednesday through Friday.

Maybe I'm wrong. But I would swear (and oh, how I can, baby) that they've changed it on me. But what do I care? Right? I'm mostly indoors this week anyway.

Best of luck in dealing with Access-a-Ride, DR Elmore.

And then even better luck with the execution of the ride, itself, after whatever they promise you. I think at this point they need to set you up as a "VIP client" that the drivers do not dare screw up.

I'm happy to see the Indiegogo packages arriving!

BK, is mine on its way? I ask because I don't see it in queue on the USPS "informed delivery" site, but that doesn't necessarily mean it isn't out there. Lately they've just been showing those things out for delivery on a given day.

Can you dance a tango? Can you read Greek?
