Who said that? I always thought it was a nifty little homily...yeah, who wants a dull same-o same-o life style? Meatloaf Tuesdays, Escargot Wednesdays. But right now, I'd take a piece of Tedium, well-done, and gnaw on it from now til Thursday. Next Thursday. Hell, the Thursday after that!
But no, it's now time to live in a blender, with varying speeds and attachments. One day, Pulse and Puree. Another Slice mit Dice. Broadway shuttered. Items flying off grocery shelves. Fisticuffs over paper products. Losing hours at work, if not losing the job or the company or your apartment. Staying home, which is for this lady, a prison sentence! I mean, I shouldn't complain...I have a home to stay in. A cozy home, with heat, and blankets, and a feisty kitty. Truly a first world (if claustrophobic) problem. (I'll be singing that Evening Primrose number, "I Remember Sky", pretty soon.)
Plus my radio plays! A musical distraction. An Entertainment. And some sort of momentary "ahhhhh..." can happen...and that's what I'll try to do for you on Sunday. Jazz 90.1 remains ON and LIVE and JAZZY as I type this, and hopefully it will remain so til the germs die die die and we can (sort of) get back to normalcy.
ANNNNNNNNDDDDDD, guess what? It's Stephen Sondheim's birthday! He's going to be 90! And that happens on March 22, yes, a 2 On The Aisle broadcast day! Something to look forward to! Of course we'll celebrate Steve with champagne toasts and cake and huzzahs (if there are any huzzahs left on the shelves), which means Company and Follies and A Little Night Music and Sweeney...and everything that we can smush into our 2 little hours on Sunday afternoon. THUS the 90, Stephen, 90 Edition!
So Chin Up, Cheerio, and Carry On as Our Miss Judy would sing...let us eat (birthday) cake, and pip pip to SS! :)
