Amadeus at Steppenwolf, then Richard Greenberg’s revisal of Philip Barry’s Holiday at Goodman. Glad to be back in rehearsal rooms. Now a new production: The Brand-New Knee. Opened yesterday: Reviews cautious; so optimistic, and the second act should improve with heavier meds and physical therapy.

Jack, I’m on my way in now for knee replacement surgery and will be high as a kite for a few days - I might try that! Without Walkman.

I had some device where I was excited that I can load about eight songs on it to carry around with me. 1999. No memory of the name of it.

Ok …. Now - what do you play it on? Haven’t seen an 8 track since the Middle Ages. 😆
And clearly it’s the new Holy Grail!

Thank you so much! It was a lovely day. And *now* preparing for knee replacement surgery in the morning. Ugh.

I am *so* intrigued.

… meaning I haven’t listened to an “album” since George Bush was in office. Or CD’s were invented. But try finding BAKER STREET on CD.

Whenever a Bill Clinton quote starts with “I did not have …,”my historian brain starts checking the footnotes.

Not watching the State of the Union tonight. I only sit through long monologues if there’s an intermission and a bar.
