The evening has been mildly busy with just routine tasks before the curtain went up. Intermission offered no further excitement, and the audience members were in their seats before the allotted 15  minutes had finished.

Earlier today, I was kicking myself for not trying to find another house manager who might want to take my shift at the Loft Theatre. My body just did not feel like cooperating. The schedule read to be there from 6 PM to 9:30 PM. However, the volunteers received the message, but I did not, that the event went until 10:30 PM. I was a tad aggravated as I had not scheduled any Canine Crew for potty breaks. Instead of getting home by 10:15, now it will be almost midnight. Fortunately, it’s a very comfortable evening to be out and about.

THIS IS TOM JONES is a new musical playing at Dayton’s Loft Theatre. While I stayed in the lobby to complete paperwork, and to be in a central location should any of our volunteer ushers need me, I watched the show from the monitor. I really love the music to this show and I’m trying to figure out a way to hopefully see it this next weekend.

Tomorrow will be mostly downtime until it is time to teach at 4 PM. It will be a straight eight hour shot of teaching in person and via Zoom. My goal for Monday is to complete much writing and researching prior to leaving for a training session. Wednesday will be a list day as it will mostly be consumed with Colonel Deeds’ surgery and early recovery.
