Bob arrived at 11:00 and we had a wonderful visit. I havent seen him since maybe 2019, so we had a lot to catch up on. We've both been through prostate cancer, so we compared notes. Since he sees almost everything, I wanted to hear about Audra in Gypsy (thumbs down), Wonderfyl Town and Love Life at Encores!, and other shows and concerts. Annabelle and Stella really loved him and climbed all over him, and Thatch hid out but then started showing himself from a distance because he's a little flirt.
Just got off the phone with my friend Bonnie and her sister. Bonnie has aphasia and her loss of vocabulary is heartbreaking. Should not happen to a writer.
I didn’t know this existed. Irving sings one of his best melodies. https://youtu.be/UbETEBCIW5U?si=QLQoRW8wWmfOhZGb
I had a grand total of four ladies at auditions - the number of roles in the play....but hopefully I will get a couple of more choices tomorrow.Oh....and I need man.....for the play that is.
My mother was a difficult lady. This is her high school graduation photo. She wasn't happy. Her family was dirt poor and her options when she graduated from Middletown High school in 1942 were few. She wanted art school but ended up clerking at Grants' Department Store. She married for the wrong reasons, and my father, brothers, and I suffered from her resentments, crushed dreams, and depression. If she were a character in a play, she would be Sally Durant Plummer in Follies.Unlike my father, her love was conditional. I loved her, but I can honestly say I do not miss her. I do hope she is at peace.
On a happier note, on this day in 2019, the Saturday before Mother's Day on May 12, I attended a New York City Animal Care Center adoption at a now gone pet supplies store on Amsterdam Avenue. I went looking for a small dog, and in retrospect, it's good the only one there was too large for my apartment since I could no longer walk it after June 2020. What I found there was a 3-month old tuxedo kitten. I named her Stella.
This morning around 11:00, Bob Kosovsky, my friend from the Music Division of the NY Library for the Performing Arts, is coming to visit. He's one of my favorite people, and I haven't seen him since 2019, so I'm looking forward to our visit.

It’s supposed to be 104 here Wednesday. I was glad I was headed for the hill country. Then I saw the forecast is for it to be 107 there. Yikes!
