On impulse, called my bro, Frank, in California a bit before noon. Hadn't heard from him for a while and just wondered how were things on the left coast. He said he's had bronchitis, but was improving. He and Marybeth will be in Baltimore with son Patrick in April. If we can arrange it, hope to get together with them.
Got my costumes in order, putting together clothes, plus jewelery on the same hanger. To my surprise and chagrin, I realized I don't have two changes, but only one. Actually, this is better, as what I wore changed into for the second scene--a brown skirt and ugly mustard-colored blouse--is uncomfortable, ill-fitting, and hideous. Back they'll go to the thrift shop.
I had a problem changing into it, too, as there isn't much time between scenes. Kevin, who plays the sociopathic Danny, suggested I try putting one costume under the other. Can't do that with the tops, but yes, I think it will work well with my skirts. Will try it tonight.
Rehearsal went well--for most of us, anyway--and director Desi singled out Kevin and me for praise--what a lift. However, a player dropped some important lines that helped define her character and to which I am to respond. It even sets up a piece of business (a paper to be left on the mantelpiece) that's key to a later scene. I know she'll remember it for subsequent performance, but I hope something else doesn't fall off he radar.
Rehearsal at 6:00 again tonight.

Murder mystery show rehearsal last night, which went well. There are some changes to my lines, but since it's short, that shouldn't be a problem. Other than that, another ordinary day; library and supermarket stops, as usual.
Got home a little after 9:00--SO much better than when I have to go all the way to Barnegat Light--and had my usual. Slept well.

Went to B.J.'s for various and picked up a top in pale blue. Was annoyed to find it didn't fit when I got home, so will take back. Otherwise, just the usual crapola. However, we had plenty of sunshine and warmth, which always lifts my spirits.
Rehearsal last night was concentrated solely on the "civilian" (not in the acting company) woman who plays "Lacey Curtain" and solves the crime. She's a resident of Cranberry Creek and will be be reading her part. She improved over the evening. Today, we're visiting the C.C. clubhouse, and will rehearse after.
Note: This is the 75th birthday of the Dionne Quintuplets. Only two survive of the UNIQUE (because identical) set. Happy birthday, Annette and Cecile.
