Well, you've read the notes, the notes ticked twice, and now it is time for you to post until the ticking cows come home.

Following a pretty solid sleep, which is a rare enough animal these days, I ended the night with a dream that found me waking up to the sight of a few people arriving for - something (maybe Thanksgiving, but maybe not), and those few soon multiplied into a couple of hundred. As I got up and walked among them, I passed this hideous chrome-plated baby grand piano that Nathan or someone had decided to actually purchase, and then I remembered I was substituting this morning at a church in a nearby town -- and doesn't that service begin at 10:30, and am I not even prepared with music, and wait, isn't it past 10:30 now or please God maybe it's actually 11:30 that it begins? So I decided not to shower (ew) and just throw on clothes and get my ass down there, but as so often happens in dreams, the walking or the driving just doesn't quite work, and it's a blessing when you waken and realize that the impossible doesn't, in fact, have to be accomplished. And that was my dream. The End.

So it is Thanksgiving Eve Morning. We had a pretty good run last night (final dress rehearsal, hard to believe), and we're not back there till Friday night in front of an audience.

Has anyone read Charles Portis, who wrote True Grit?

I've only read True Grit, back when the Coen Bros. film was being released. I'd been told that he was a wonderful writer, and to at least start with that one. I loved it, but have never yet checked into others.

The group doing that Chanukah West Side Story is excellent, and I watched a couple of their other videos. They do so well at capturing the essence of a musical score, right down to the trickiest harmonies and voicings.

So yesterday, the cranberry sauce got made and is chilling for two days. Big deal, of course, as it takes about five minutes of actual "work" to make cranberry sauce. It amazes me, in an amazing way, that so many people won't hear of it.

Today, the prep for the stuffing - mainly, getting the sage sausage cooked so that doesn't take up time and stovetop space tomorrow. I suppose I could also cut up the potatoes (for the mashed) and soak them in water overnight. In fact, isn't that actually recommended, for better starch removal or something? Am I confusing this with something else? Must look it up.

Anyway, those are my three standard duties, and if nothing else in life is in control, at least those will be.

If I'm not mistaken, the vix clan is together, or is about to be together, on the Lawn Guyland right about now?

I'm going to end here for a while. Might as well get that sausage aroma wafting through the house, and enjoy another cup of coffee while so doing.

Best VIBES for DR Jrand71 and his family event today.
And best VIBES of all sorts for DR Elmore this week.
And best VIBES for all the rest of us. We all needs 'em for all the reasons. So let's have 'em.

I logged on around 7:13, posted at 7:24, and mny computer went dead at 7:158 in thge middle of a longish post. My computer has been losing WiFi often for periods of around 15 minutes, so I waited, it came on for a minute and dowloaded some emails, before it died again. I thought I should call Spectrum, and I found my phone was dead. So . . . I called Spectrum on mny cell phone and learned there were no outages in my area.

An automated voice, when I told the Spectrum "voice" my servic,e was dead, told me to plug my modem and reboot it. It was 9:00 and I had to leave for my pharmacy since I had to be home before Amazon Fresh delivered groceries around 11.

The trips went smoothly, although my damned doctor never responded to my request for several prescriptions, and when I got home, I rebouted the modem and here I am. Color me angst-ridden and rather pissed off.

An actor touring in Jesus Christ Superstar has been arrested as part of the Oath Keepers storming the capitol on Jan. 6. Must be non-Equity.

Actually, he appeared on Broadway in Kinky Boots, Aida and Ragtime as James T. Justis. This won’t help his career.
