Ron, it does sound nice.  No swelling or pain, wow.  Vibes you heal quickly!

They prescribed 10 tablets of Tamadol for the pain.  As of yet, I have had none.

Vibes you never need it.

From DR John:
Quote
And what was this read?

The Four Winds by Kristen Hannah.  It takes place during the Dust Bowl.

I read it last year when it came out. It was pretty good.

Now here's a description of a musical I can wait to see:

Driving in Circles is an autobiographical exploration of childhood sexual abuse and the aftershocks that wrack a survivor, set to a folktronica score.

Folktronica. Duly noted.

I can just imagine the orchestrations already.

Another musical that defies description:

Perpetual Sunshine & The Ghost Girls is a through-composed musical centered on the exploitation of workers in the face of a national health crisis. The score combines the aesthetics of 1920's and 2020's music to tell the story of the women who changed the face of American labor laws after being poisoned on the job by the United States Radium Corporation.

Both of these future masterworks were winners of the Richard Rodgers Award.

Alas, the grocery store I use most often, and the most convenient (as it is near the church), is closed indefinitely due to a fire overnight last night. They suspect arson.

I loved Ciaran Hinds and Judi Dench together. When he sings to her, it's just wonderful.

And the parallel scene where Jamie Dornan sings to his wife, Caitriona Balfe, was equally wonderful.

Dornan is an interesting actor. He has a musical scene in Barb and Star at the Vista Del Mar that is a riot.

I'm now watching an oddity called The Big Street with Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball. It's based on a Damon Runyon story.

Nicely-Nicely is in the story. He falls in love with Agnes Morehead playing a scrawny professional eater.
