Well, you've read the notes, the notes were pitted at over 100 miles per hour, and now it is time for you to post until the pitted cows come home.

Tonight will be the first read-through/rehearsal for Theater Artists Olympia's next production, Anna Considers Mars. by Ruben Grijalva. I haven't read the script yet, but I do have a copy of it. I think it has some sci-fi element(s) to it, but I don't know how sci-fi-y it is.

Sci-fi-y...technical term.

Good morning.

A 2 a.m. phone call from Nigeria woke me up.

Laura · « **Reply #7 on:** November 17, 2025, 03:06:52 AM »

I didn't answer.

But since I'm up, I blanched a few pounds of green beans I got in my veggie box Saturday. We're having a Thanksgiving potluck at church on Sunday.

I invited a bunch of people and they seem interested. So I'd better make sure there's enough food.

Laura · « **Reply #10 on:** November 17, 2025, 03:08:30 AM »

There always is.

I sure wish dear reader Laura would come visit. I remember a time that whenever Mr. Graae was playing she and Darling Daughter Sandra would be here at the drop of a Swedish Chef Hat. Come for the 12/10 Kritzerland show - Jason would love to see you and so would I.

I wish we could. It was easier when she was a kid. Now she's grown up and has a job.

Laura · « **Reply #13 on:** November 17, 2025, 03:25:10 AM »

I'll ask her if she still has three days of vacation time she can take.

The cats behaved, and I could have slept better, but this has been a really bad week for the neuropathy in my lower legs and feet, and the arthritis in my hips and knees only worsens. I remember no dreams but I do remember bweing up several times. Around 1:15 I woke fearing that my legs were paralyzed and would not work. Faithful Thatch stayed with me till my panyt calmed down.

I grew up in two different haunted houses. When I was born in 1946 - after conception in a haunted boarding house in the French Quarter of New Orleans (there's another story about that!) - my parents were living at 711 Tenth Avenue with my mother's parents, her oldest, unmarried sister, and two high school brothers. Around 1949, we moved to 3003 Goldman, where I lived on and off until 1979, when I moved to New York.

Both houses still haunt me and still frighten me. If either of them turns up in a dream, you can bet your life that before long the dream will become a nightmare. Last night I dozed off sometime around 9:30 and I was back in the Goldman Avenue house. I don't remember anything about the dream now, except that something happened the dream took a turn and I woke around 10:45, grateful that I'd missed a badm frightening dream.

DR Freddie, Ann did not work on Chess. The husband of one of her friends - a fellow teacher, I believe - worked on the show, and they gave Ann their tickets.

And others.

I have no idea what pitting or tracking involve.

singdaw · « **Reply #22 on:** November 17, 2025, 04:50:57 AM »

But I just googled them.

singdaw · « **Reply #23 on:** November 17, 2025, 04:51:07 AM »

So now I know.

I may have read somewhere that "Pitting the Child" was the original name of "Pity the Child" from CHESS.

Freddie · « **Reply #27 on:** November 17, 2025, 04:57:52 AM »

Or I may not have read it somewhere.
