(referencing Brandon Dixon; loved him in Jesus Christ Superstar); he took over as Aaron Burr in Hamilton on Broadway in 20160 -
Okay, QVC has wigs on their front page along with this:
You'll be cute & confident for video calls & more with this heat-styleable wig from Toni Brattin.0 -
I watched "Jesus Christ Superstar" last evening as the encore presentation. I missed it two years ago when it was live. Fabulous production!
I did something wild this morning. I am getting low, so I placed a pickup order at one of the Walmarts in the city as it carries things I can't get here. The first available pick up time is this coming Friday at 1pm. I took it. Now, I have to clean out trunk and possibly back seat of car as this should do me for a month.0 -

I can't get beyond the 8th level. I guess I'm chickened out for the day.
I saw where the Fearless One said he had the authority to tell the states when to "open up." In the Governor's conference, that comment was not referenced but the health expert for the State said the governor would make the decision based upon data as they didn't want secondary breakouts and spreads.0 -

Yes, that JC Superstar production is fantastic. I first heard that album when I was an undergrad at Pitt. I can still remember it! I have the DVD of the John Legend version.
I got two delivery orders today. I am trying hard not to be picky. I read somewhere a comment that the shopper did better than they did themselves. Ummm, not so nowadays or in this case.0 -

CNN captions telling it like it is. Good for them! (full disclosure - I simply can't tolerate watching those "briefings" any more; I'm sort of in the camp of not airing them at all and later playing clips of the experts with whatever they were allowed to say)

To get a little whining out of the way:
My alarm clock died. Do you know you can't get an alarm clock on amazon, even having paid for prime, until May? Anyway I found one exactly like mine on ebay and I'm going to take a chance on it.
I got two food deliveries yesterday. Both left a great deal to be desired, in terms of what they had and the quality. There were a couple things that went right in the trash.
Enough already - I can hear my late mother saying "quit complaining, Maryanne, and do something good for someone".

Maryanne--I thought your math background would lend itself to your appreciating the calculus one. The only thing I know about Amazon is that according to them they are putting a priority on health items during this chaotic time. I have two items arriving this week from an order I placed yesterday--and both could be considered health-related.
The good news is that American is issuing a full refund to my credit card instead of applying the cost of the ticket to a future ticket.0 -

I really did appreciate the calculus one. My dad taught physics, chemistry and advanced math. I went to Pitt as a spanish major but that didn't last long. Switched to math before the end of my first year. My first master's degree is in math as well. I'm the one folks come to in the firm when they have a math question. It's sort of funny actually - some of them are pretty simple - but "lawyers don't do math" isn't just a saying.

I lost zero weight last week. No cheating or anything so I guess it's a stall.
I went to amazon to order some more of those steam in bags. I need to slow down and read when I order online. I now have HUGE bags of broccoli and green beans instead of the single serve bags I thought I was ordering. Totally my fault. I have enough bags for now but thought I should order since almost everything is coming mid May now. Well, guess what, those bags are apparently essential in Jeff Bezo's humble opinion.

Color me totally unsurprised:
The White House has tried to reassure the public that it’s on top of the coronavirus pandemic, declaring it an “all-hands-on-deck effort.” Yet as the disease has ripped through the country, many of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet members have been largely absent or have failed to use the powers of their agencies to respond to a crisis that has shut down the economy and killed more than 20,000 Americans.
“The absence of Trump’s Cabinet has been a staggering, if not unsurprising, abdication of leadership,” said Kyle Herrig, president of Accountable.US, a nonpartisan government watchdog group. “With millions of Americans losing their jobs and health care, the entire education system shifting to remote learning, and working people across the country struggling to pay rent, you’d think the Cabinet would show some urgency in upholding their oaths and helping the country navigate this crisis.”

Colbert in his monologue:
Sorry, Chester. Reopening the country is not up to you, because you did not have the balls to shut the country down in the first place. You were the one who said you were just a cheerleader. You put yourself on the sidelines. Cheerleaders don’t get a Super Bowl trophy. In fact, they barely get paid. They’re just supposed to look good and spell words right, and you can’t do either!0 -
It’s interesting what amazon considers to be a health related item. I ordered sleeves for my digital thermometer 2 weeks ago and still haven’t received them. I think they are due sometime next week.0

I’ve been trying to figure out a graduation gift for one of my nieces. She is graduating from college with her bachelor’s degree and plans to teach high school theater. She is 47, and has been working for this for a very long time, against many obstacles, so we are all very proud of her. My first thought was a nice leather tote bag since I know teachers are always hauling a lot of stuff back and forth to class. However, I had asked her mom about it a couple of months ago, along with a couple of other ideas I had. We didn’t talk about it again for awhile, and then she informed me that she had ordered the tote bag for her as their gift. While I’m glad she’s getting the bag she wanted, I’m a bit annoyed that my sister took my idea and used it. So I consulted a couple of my friends who are teachers and they gave me a different idea. I actually think it’s something she will love. I’m getting her a bar stool height director’s chair with her name embroidered on the back of it. I have some other smaller things like a coffee mug and a small canvas tote bag that I will add and probably a gift card she can use to purchase supplies. Hopefully she will enjoy using all of these things.
I also need to find a high school graduation gift for her son, but he should be a lot easier.0 -
Pam - you put a lot of thought into it which I'm sure she'll realize and appreciate! It's always great to finally reach a long held dream - good for her!0
