I made zucchini fritters for breakfast. They’re kinda like latkes, but with a good egg flavor.

I'm up, I'm up - seven hours of sleep, I think.

From John:

Quote

Nearing the end of State of Terror. What I like is that these people read. They can quote Shakespeare and Donne, modern and ancient poets. And it's a part of who they are. Even more, they can and do think. How refreshing.

You might want to read something else by Louise Penny. I suggest beginning with "Still Life".

To clarify, Susan only asked if we were there to begin a conversation.

Good Morning. It's been a trying week in these parts. Please keep the Parish of Our Lady of Angels in Burlingame, CA in your prayers. Trying times are ahead. We'll be fine, but like I said, it will be trying times for a while.

Yes DR Jane I did get my first dose of astrazeneca and second dose pfizer. At the time of my first dose that was my only option. And when it was time for my second dose they were letting us choose. At first they were recommending 2 of the same. But then the recommended doing what I did.

In other news, to answer DR ChasSmith's question about working MainStage with all of these Mac upgrades. Well.... we'll see. Last year, March 2020, I upgraded my laptop that I run MainStage on from Mojave (I think it was) to Catalina for some reason, I can't remember, but it wasn't a good one LOL - but it was in the throws of the pandemic and no one really had much of a reason for anything. ANYWAY - I was told that was not a good move, and that some of my sound libraries would not work with Catalina. Not having a reason to use MainStage until now, I was afraid at what would happen when, indeed, I did need to use it. The other day, I opened up MainStage (took 2 tries) and loaded the last show I did (Mamma Mia! and everything seemed fine. So hopefully going forward, everything will be fine. However, a new laptop is on my wish list.

In other other news. I recently was able to procure the LP of the Original London Cast Recording of Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1975 flop - Jeeves. I usually see it at an astronomical price, but I was able to get it for a very reasonable price. Excited to finally have the LP in my possession.

No used CD store today, but did pick up one little package.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #44 on:** October 16, 2021, 12:11:42 PM »

Thank you, DR Matthew. I've checked the workability of MainStage and Catalina only by launching it and playing around with a couple of my shows on the laptop, NOT with keyboard etc. connected. It seemed fine. I also haven't upgraded it to the 3.5.3 that it keeps "reminding" me about. I'm still on 3.4.4, and at this point I have no idea when I'll next have a use for it. My holiday show is a piano one, and I have nothing on the calendar beyond that.

Yeah, I'm not upgrading Catalina anymore. Not taking anymore chances!! I'm only doing playing gigs for now, so that's mostly Keys 2, so I'm stuck with MainStage - I'd kill for an all piano gig. LOL

Never could find that. It was always near the top of my want list.

Something I ordered from an eBay seller was shipped from Florida two weeks ago. It would have been here one week ago, but after it arrived at the regional hub in Jersey City, it decided to go to Cincinnati. Then it went to Pittsburgh, at which point there were no updates until this morning. It's supposedly in my mailbox as we speak.

A entire week's diversion.

Mercury?

You be the judge.

Am I correct that you had the option of doing either Astrazeneca or Pfizer for the second dose?

The Scottish Opera's new production of Gilbert & Sullivan's The Gondoliers looks like so much fun. O would love to see it.

Wow! I'm impressed. I've heard that original album, but I've never seen it for sale.
