Friday morning greetings! We had a nice break from our household chaos last night. We went out to dinner with our friends Sharon and Tom.

To blow my own horn, Britten's version of The Beggar's Opera was the last thing I directed in Ohio before my move to Manhattan in 1979.

And my last opportunity to do my favorite backstage job - director’s assistant

Color me alarmed. Yesterday Chewy.com informed me that two orders had been delivered: 40 lbs of litter and a carton of food, about $80.00 in funds. After I put the laundry in the washers - well, I went ahead - I checked the mail and the packages in the lobby. Nothing for me from Chewy.com. God knows if the driver screwed up and left them somewhere else or if they will arrive today.

Of course I can't think about The Beggar's Opera without also thinking about Alan Ayckbourne's play "A Chorus of Disapproval" about an amateur theatrical troupe in England doing TBO...it is hilarious.

I've always wanted to read or saee it. Is the movie version any good?

What DR Elmore is too kind to mention is that I had pretty severe bronchitis and missed quite a few rehearsals. I think I’ll listen to the CD today - after the jackhammering stops.

Back in San Antonio after a 1193-mile ride yesterday.

I don't know how you do that. I have more driving stamina than most anyone I know, but I can't compete with that. My 720-mile drives to Cincinnati, which at a reasonable pace with rest stops take me 11 or 12 hours, are quite enough, thank you.

I think this is my last marathon. Of course, I said that last year.

We are wimps in this department. A 6-hour driving day is about all we can handle.

Well, I told the post office not to deliver my mail, that I would pick it up. But, no, it was on my doorstep last night. Included was BK’s musical note, which was bent.

I am not happy.

Sounds like my post office! Did you do the hold online so you have a record?

Did they bend it or was it ill-packed? Everyone else's seems to have arrived intact. I can do another one for you.

I suppose I'm up. To bed at three, fell asleep quickly, woke up at five not feeling so well in the tummy. Was up for two hours, then tried to go to sleep again, but too much happing in the cranium. So, up again, went to CVS for more Claritin-D.

I think they bent it, judging by what it was with.

Laundry is finished. I'll put it away after my legs have rested for a bit.

From DR Laura:

Quote

When I get angry at someone, I wiggle my left hand fingers at them. It doesn't mean anything to anyone else but me, so they don't know what I'm thinking. The wiggling represents rattling, like a rattlesnake. And offering your left hand is an insult in some cultures.

I love this.

DR Jeanne this week has just been for invited guests for the new team to practice working together. Saturday it will be open for everyone.

Indiegogo package arrived! Thank you, BK.

However...the three TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT items were not included, and there was definitely room for them in the box. Were those shipping separately regardless?

All the ten-CD packs have gone out long ago - let me check on it - you did send a list, yes? She's still shipping Sap/Cole - she does about fifty a day and we had a LOT of orders.

bk · « **Reply #56 on:** August 13, 2021, 10:04:13 AM »

ChasSmith, I called it out TWICE on the sheet - she'll send now.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #57 on:** August 13, 2021, 10:13:12 AM »

DR ELMORE I have never seen the movie version.

We saw the stage version in Ireland at a theatre competition - we represented the US with our production of MA RAINEY'S BLACK BOTTOM - and it was done by an Irish troupe.....and it was wonderful.

Of course it was a theatre full of theatre folks.....and the director some guy who called himself Daniel Hollywood played the director in the show....anyway....it was most enjoyable.
