The Shrouds: A Turin Musical
Wasn’t that Into the Light?
Well, I think I have finally reached Jen's limit. I got a check in the mail from New York State as an "Inflation Refund," and I asked Jen if she would deposit it for me when she walked Oscar. When she came by to pick it up, she said, I think it's time you looked into e-Deposit. Since I maybe get 4 checks a year,I think she's getting tired of helping me out.

They have a policy that when water goes from one room to another, it's likely that the adjoining wall (sheetrock) has absorbed some of that moisture, and they require an insurance approval for them to do the work. We don't want to involve insurance because it would be insane to make a claim for something small like this on top of last year's storm damage. My agent even said as much. So we have a good trusted contractor friend coming over to inspect and see what really needs to be done.Darn. At least you have someone you can trust to look at it. VERY trustworthy. He was just here. He's totally swamped with jobs, but he says it's not that horrendous and he'll see if he can take it on soon, and be in charge of all of it. So we shall hope that can happen.

Carol is home from the hospital with a 97.7 temperature. Good news.
Here’s an upcoming movie I want to see:https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/peter-hujars-day-ben-whishaw-rebecca-hall-film-review-2025
Just had one of our ensemble ladies quit. Amusingly, she'd already quit the show that opens next at Group Rep. She said we told her it was "light dancing" but that it's anything but light. Well, please, it could not be lighter - I'm a stager - it's movement - it's walking in rhythm on beats, it's gestures - the only thing we've done so far that you could actually call a dance step is the Charleston. The fact of the matter is the writing was on the wall and I'd already discussed having to lose her because she could not do anything that resembled movement - nothing. She kept telling me she'd "get" it but I sensed not, although I was being very patient. So, we need a replacement gal now and hopefully we can find one.
Pauline Collins has died. I will have to watch some of my favorite Wodehouse Playhouse episodes.
