The show last night (Into the Woods) was good, but I was starting to fade during the latter portions of the second act. T'was a late night. Orchestra was pretty good, but it was reduced to 9 from the 14 or 15 players required (at this small house that was the absolute limit that would fit in the space), so there were certainly passages that would have been so much better with the full complement. C'est la vie.

Big week coming up -- my last really big one for a while. Another spring concert Tuesday evening, followed by two rehearsals and three performances of Chicago, and a voice master class-type of thing on Saturday morning.

And the festivities start off tomorrow morning - a Monday, of course - with schlepping the cat to the vet for his follow-up blood work to check how his thyroid meds are doing. That's always stressful, what with having to "drug" him first thing in the morning, get him into the carrier, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

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.

DR Elmore, be sure to tell him about the “I could be a librarian” epiphany I had in his library in 1967.  It led to a great 35-year career.

In Greencastle years ago I worked in theeder with a woman Ann whose mother is Martha Hyer's sister.

She was my height. One day Ann was wearing a very nice sweater.  I told her it was very nice. She said it was a hand me down from her Aunt Martha.  I noticed that the sleeves were rolled up a couple of times at her wrist.  Ann said "Aunt Martha has gorilla arms."

Something to look for when you watch her in a movie.  I notice she does usually have her arms bent at the elbow and never dangling at her side.

Although, to be fair, I think those last fifteen minutes of Succession were meant by the artists to make some of us viewers queasy.

I loved the last fifteen minutes of Succession. None succeeded, except for the sycophant. How long that would last is anyone's guess. Shiv's ending was the biggest wow. And I loved it. Was she whoring herself out? Sure. But it fits. What kind of mother would she be? Ken was always alone. Even with a bodyguard. And Roman was never going to mature.
