COVID?

-

 So we saw Hugh Jackman in The Music Man on Sunday.  On Monday Jackman tested positive for COVID, and the show announced his understudy would perform through June 21.  I would have been seriously disappointed if Jackman hadn’t been in the show on Sunday, so I know there are a lot of disappointed theater goers right now.

Incidentally Broadway theaters are still requiring everyone to “mask up” but they’re no longer asking for proof of vaccination.

I guess COVID is now endemic and a permanent part of our lives.

Which reminds me, I should schedule my second booster shot.  If I react the same way I handled previous vaccines, I need to make sure I can stay home the day after I get the booster shot.

    It seems COVID is now making the rounds of the entertainment industry (i.e Mick Jagger and Miley Cyrus, among others recently). Didn't Hugh Jackman already have COVID? My son says a number of people at his job have had it two or three times already. I agree, COVID is going to be with us permanently Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com.

      Yes, this is Jackman’s second bout.

      Dr. Fauci just tested positive.

    I felt icky for about a week after the 2nd booster. And I didn't feel that way before. So, just a heads up for you. I thought it might be allergies or I might have been overtired or some such. Then my father's wife was feeling exactly the same way a couple days after her 2nd booster, so...

    Not to worry you. Just be aware if you're feeling like you have allergies or a light cold, it's the shot.

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

DISboards nonsense

found a new blog today. Love it. http://secret-squirrel.webs.com/index.htm I've posted there under various names over the last 10 years or so. it went from a sweet little board that was Pete Werner's hobby to ....well, a real nightmare. that a board devoted to all things Disney can be such a nasty, racist, childish (not childlike) place.... loving the inside scoop, though. Did I ever tell you how "songbird" was banned from the DIS? I was a poster in good standing for 3-4 years. Even booked my trips through Dreams Unlimited, back when Pete was careful to distinguish between the disboards as a hobby and Dreams as his business. Pete and Webmaster Alex were struggling with server issues, the disboards would go down more often than they'd stay up. then Pete announced cosmetic changes to wdwinfo.com, which feeds into the disbaords forum. Like all other members of the forum, I was frustrated. so I was a bit sarcastic. I posted something to the effect of "would yo

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.
