Piano man has come and gone.  Making some Wacky Noodles now - trying to decide between bow tie pasta and wide egg noodle pasta.  Hmmm.

TCB if you travel in your car with just one other person can you take both your scooter and your wheelchair?

I intended to ask the same question, just before I fell asleep.

He was 15 and had gotten very skinny. The vet diagnosed hyperthyroidism and started treatment. He went downhill very quickly.

It sounds like what happened years ago with our 17 year old cat named My Sin.   I had hoped with more accurate medicine today Joshie would improve.  I am very, very sorry  :'(

I have never heard of a cafe in a library. But here at Chapters bookstores there is a Starbucks on the upstairs level. It's sectioned off beside the magazines.

The Barnes and Noble stores have Starbucks in them.

Laura, I'm so sorry.  That's pretty much what happened to my cat, Ebonie. :(

First day back has been a day of extinguishing fires. Not in the way Gulliver does in Lilliput.

Ginny, I hope you enjoy Come From Away tonight.

Thanks, DR John G!  We're wringing ourselves out at the hotel after a rainy visit to the Upper West Side.  Went to an 11am showing of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST in 3D and then walked 14 blocks up Broadway, in the rain, for lunch at Artie's.  It was so worth it!  Then we walked past DR Elmore's building to Columbus Ave. to catch the bus back to Midtown.

It was a long day.  I got a bit pissed off at our producer and engineer today.  The engineer keeps making comments about the score not being Appalachian.  I think he thought he was recording a bluegrass album.

That's Problem No. 1.

The recording producer, who may never have done a theatre recording before and not the show producer, has too much concern about the band - there's been no banjo for the last five songs and I don't want the recording to sound unbalanced - although I keep saying it's about the songs and the actors.

That's Problem No. 2.

Then, there's a cadence at one spot in the "West Virginia Mining Disaster" that is much more Britten-Weill than Grand Ol' Opry.  The first time the band played it today, th producer turned to me and asked, are they plating wrong notes? I thought, if you asked Steve Sondheim that, there'd be another producer sitting there right after tyhe question.

That was Problem No. 3.  And this has been my last two days.

On t'other hand, we have an amazing group of musicians Kevin Ramessar and Freddy Hall on guitars, Zev Katz on bass, Nathan Kucl on accordion, and Justin Smith on violin.  Kevin came in first and overdubbed mandolin and banjo on everything we laid down yesterday.  They made magic, and I do look forward to tomorrow's vocal rehearsal.
