I just come here for the novelty coffee mugs and their trenchant commentary on the little ironies of everyday life.

Had a fun lunch meeting with Sami's mom and a friend of hers who happens to be a huge long-time fan of mine - always fun to hear what made people fans - in this case it was seeing Stages at the Matrix Theatre and falling in love with the show - he has hanging in his office the lyrics to the title song of that show.  Very nice fellow.

Then we had our second rehearsal - went very well, although I really wish people would be completely off book by the second rehearsal so that I could actually direct them.  Some were, some weren't - by Saturday they all will be.

I did have a classic BK moment due to our MD not understanding the change that I wanted to make to the ride out of one number.  For me, it was an incredibly simple change - basically the same ride out but adding one bar.  I hummed it over and over and over and over and over and still he could not get it through his head.  It was SO simple I just finally went berserk.  No one knows quite what to do when I'm finally pushed into that land, but I can only hum and talk through something about twenty times before that journey is complete.  And still he did not get it.  In fact, he did every other possible thing you could do BUT what I wanted.  He finally said that he couldn't figure it out because I'd had him originally go back to the vamp of the first song in the put-together - but that vamp and the second song vamp are almost identical.  Once I understood that, I told him to just do what I was humming all along, which was the vamp to the second song with the added bar - and still he could not figure it out.  I finally did what I should have done from the start - just walked over to the piano and showed him.  When I got to the piano I looked at the intro vamp to the second song and there was everything I wanted save for the final beat.  THEN he finally understood.  I apologized to everyone, but boy was it frustrating.

Then I did a two and a half mile jog.   I do have to eat a little something so probably a couple of those low-cal tortilla things will be a nice snack and I'll have eaten well under 1000 calories when you factor in the jog.

Watching "Kingsman: The Secret Service." It's great that the pug's name is J.B., just like the bird.

This lyric keeps gointhrough my head

Rocky Raccoon fell back to his room only to find  Gideon's Bible.
 Gideon checked out, and left it, no doubt, to help with poor Rocky's revival

I'm afraid I'm not finding "Kingsman" too enjoyable any more. There's a seen of a mass shooting in a church that's really hard to stomach.

Something must be in the air today. I had a similar experience with an idiot of an IT person at work. I spared him the meltdown, but my co-workers felt too much of my pain.
