Thank you, Jeanne. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ? I am so sorry I missed last Wednesday (again! Ugh!) I was stuck in a school board meeting online... a contentious one.
I'll be there tomorrow for class and back on Wed. Missing you and everyone!
I'm aware - in fact we just installed D+ on our Roku just for that!
In the meantime, we're bingeing Mandalorian, and will cancel D+ around July 20, so we only pay for the first month.
What I understand about Hamilton, is that Lin Manual-Miranda wanted to do a film of the stage production, kind of old school. So they filmed it in 2016 with the original cast. It was meant to be a Fathom Events release this year (meaning special screenings in theaters), but due to COVID he decided to make it more widely available (bless him!).
Love that you posted about the LA Opera. I was their guest artist dancer and choreographer in '87. Also thanks for the $7 tip on Disney + for Hamilton. Great idea!

My family and I are Colorado bound tomorrow, with an overnight first in Utah. My parents have a family home in CO and we will be staying there, without them as they another state right now. I am really happy to be going, I can't wait to be in nature and in a peaceful environment as some of you may recall from my garden post a while back. The most difficult part of the trip will be traveling from here to Moab, UT. We must go through a high Covid area and we must stop there for a potty break because there will not be anything else for hours. It is near Monument Valley. We have done this trip many times before, but never in conditions like this. We could not have travel over the weekend as the entire Navajo Nation ( which encompasses parts of Utah, Arizona and New Mexico) shuts down on the weekends now to slow down the disease. It has been working, their numbers while still high are actually falling and have been for awhile now. The rest of AZ is a horrible hot mess as you can read about in my recent post about hospitals on the COVID thread.
Anyway, if you can think about it, could you please send some love and light our way for good health and safety as we travel, it would be appreciated. It is so difficult to make choices during this pandemic. I have gone back and forth for weeks but ultimately concluded that it was now or not at all. My eldest daughter is moving to Texas in a few weeks and this is the last change we have to spent all together and I would rather spend that time away from the heat, fires and insanity of my state. While I am hopeful we will stay safe (we work really hard in attempting to do just that) I also believe that if we end up sick, Colorado is the better location to be ill as their hospital situation is much better than ours.
I hope to be able to make it to class tomorrow, it depends upon how traveling goes.
And as I mentioned in a different post the other day, I know we are loved and that we will be surrounded by angels. That is what I hope to take with me on our journey tomorrow.
Thank you!
I am so excited about Hamilton on the Disney+ channel, I_can_hardly_stand_it. Hamilton is my obsession. About three years ago, I actually gave a power point presentation on Hamilton the musical to my culture club. It took six weeks of my life to prepare my presentation of still photos, paintings of historical figures, lyrics, and endless Youtube videos of music. My husband had to listen and watch it incessantly. Hamilton is my jam.
The music, the dancing, that compelling story about Hamilton and founding of our democracy-it's just brilliant and solemn and funny and wise. Seriously, I consider Lin Manuel Miranda to be one of the finest poets we've ever seen. He writes about the human condition: our joys and sorrows, our jealousy, our failings, our striving, our love, our heartbreak-all with an understanding comparable to Shakespeare's. I am not exaggerating, it is just that amazing.
Counting down the days.
Oh, I am so happy to hear about your trip and respite from the pandemic in Arizona. I will be praying for all of you and for a safe journey. You deserve this family time together, my friend.
Absolutely and in all ways, prayers for health, safety, rest and a peaceful heart.
May you truly be able to unplug from this world's craziness and be one with family, nature and your deepest source of faith.
Peace and love ???
