Here's to the media - stoking fear and panic twenty-four hours a day when anything is negative - but mask mandates in LA go away as of last Friday - crickets. I would not have known if I hadn't looked it up.

The chili came out OK. It's not terribly strong. Despite dumping in what I thought was an inordinate amount of chili powder that the recipe called for. I guess I could still add more. I used tempeh instead of beef.

And lots of beans. I think many Texans frown on that.

I'd been working on more pre-show and intermission music, but I need to edit the WAV files...that's what's taking so long. ::)

Did others do the same, or at least wear some kind of mask?

Very few people wore masks at all.

We did notice that most Asian people wore masks. They seem to understand the concept of protecting the health of the public.


The last time I was in Asia (like maybe 15 years ago) the majority of Asians were already wearing masks.

I think a lot of it was because of air pollution.

  a cinnamon roll

Speaking of same, a work colleague just told me the other day that when she was growing up, a traditional school lunch pairing in South Dakota was a cinnamon roll and a bowl of chili.

That was our standard Thursday lunch in the Tacoma school district - Chili and a big cinnamon roll.  At my grade school, we had great cinnamon rolls.

I don't remember ever having cinnamon rolls when I was in school. :(

I just need to get the doorbell sound (I forgot to to add that to my flashdrive), combine a thunder sound with a gunshot so that they're one cue, and find more music for the pre-show and intermission, then it's all done!


The overture from GYPSY is always a good addition to pre-show music.

That is great music, Tom!  But Katelyn, the director, had the idea of using actual soap opera theme music for the pre-show and intermission.  I've got more than 20 minutes or so of music (so far), but some of it is from very long YouTube videos and I need to manually break up the tracks and raise the volume on some.  It's easy, but cumbersome.

I'm figuring to use the same music from the pre-show in the intermission (and maybe in a different order), so I should be safe if can get at least another 15 minutes of music.

Ariana DeBose was popping up everywhere this evening.  First I watched her win the SAG award for WEST SIDE STORY.  Then I watched more of that musical sitcom SNICKERDODDLE, and she was playing the schoolmarm.
