Well, dear readers, we are getting there – slowly, but surely. Yes, you heard it here, dear readers, slowly but surely, we are getting our cast for the play. We’re exploring certain things that will make it easier – I didn’t think we had any options in terms of rehearsals, but we do, we do. We do need three ensemble males, but I believe we have our three gals. We’re still missing two leading players, but if things work out as I hope they will, we’ll have those. I sure feel better about this than I did last week. So, all digits crossed and send some vibes and xylophones while you’re at it or it as at you, not necessarily in that order. Callbacks were quick and fun. After, I stopped at Gelson’s and was hoping they had my creamy tomato soup, but not only did they not have it, the soup tureens had already been emptied. So, instead I got a tiny bit of lobster salad and some California roll, came home, ate those, took pill three, did some stuff on the computer, and then dozed off for thirty minutes on the couch like so much fish. Prior to all that, I didn’t sleep very well, have no idea how much, missed a couple of telephonic calls because I forgot to take the phone off silent, I answered e-mails, I got all the info we needed to make the adjustments to my friend’s book, so that’s being done now – simple fixes, should be ready by Friday at the latest. And I just went down a wittle wabbit hole, didn’t I? All I can say is that a Guy Haines album out of print since 2001, is coming back twenty-five years later, remastered completely, new liner notes, new cover. Not only that, but a compendium Guy Haines album called Guy Songs, with a plethora of tracks from the many albums Guy sang on. This is very exciting, at least for Guy. So, one may be out by the end of the year, the other early next year. Where was I, pre-wabbit hole? Oh yes, yesterday, lousy sleep. For food I had my extra crispy orange chicken half order – very good – then I had a couple of telephonic calls, I dozed off for about forty minutes or maybe it was ninety minutes – it was some amount of minutes – then I got ready and moseyed on over to the theater and I believe you know the rest. I also did pull out and organized items for eBay. I have to photograph a few of them, then listed they will be. I’ll be offering the rest of the Sondheim hand-corrected pages for Children Will Listen – several of those pages went in a couple of the Indiegogo campaigns. Fun stuff.

Today, I’ll be up when I’m up, I’ll do whatever needs doing, I’ll have the telephonic conversation I was supposed to have yesterday, hoping for good news casting-wise, I may make some pasta here, in fact, I’m sure I will, whether Wacky Noodles or just some pasta with red sauce and onions or butter and onions – we shall see – but mostly I really need to rest and get my bearings back – my bearings are all over the damn place and I cannot bear when my bearings run amok or go awry and we must fix these things – one issue may require a note to my neurologist, but we shall see. Other than that, I’ll watch, listen, and relax.

Tomorrow and the weekend, there will be a meeting and meal for sure, otherwise just more resting and getting the errant and truant bearings bearable.

Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must, for example, be up when I’m up, do whatever needs doing, have a telephonic conversation, hopefully have good casting news, make pasta, eat pasta, rest, bet my damn bearings back, and then watch, listen, and relax. Today’s topic of discussion: What would you think if we did a Zoom get-together about the new book? I’m thinking I’d like to do it – I always enjoy myself – questions could be asked and answered, I am always an open book, so to speak – would that be of interest? Let’s have loads of lovely postings, shall we, whilst I hit the road to dreamland, happy to have gone done the wittle wabbit hole.
