Playlist For Sunday, September 4, 2023: Back (to work)!

I'm back! I did indeed survive my Montreal Mania mission...20 days there and back on a bicycle, solo, 820 plus miles, and only 1 flat tire. I ate "French" for 2 nights (duck! pate! remouladidah!), suffered thru 1 1/2 rainy days, sang myself up the hills and down the dales (internally, so as not to scare the wildlife), stressed over NO DATA for 8 days in Canada, was saved by helpful strangers with (often) correct directions, and basically had a blast. I'm still having bike dreams (okay, some verge on nightmares) and can now shift gears on a dime. :) 

 

But here we are heading into Labor Day? Quelle horror. (Yeah, that's the way I spoke French in Montreal. Got lots of raised eye brows.) So we have to salute WORK! Broadway style of course, so it won't seem as tough. How To Succeed, Nine To Five, Working, that sorta stuff. If only real life jobs were more like Broadway Musical jobs, right? Or sitcom jobs. I once (tooooo many years ago) considered becoming a lawyer, and a friend said, "Sure. On a sitcom!" I'm sure they were well intentioned. 

Anyway, enjoy your entire last week of Summer in your favorite way(s), and tune in for a LIVE jolt of Bway this Sunday.
