Quick lunchtime update

[chanaleh]

1776: I enjoyed it, not having any previous benchmark :-) notwithstanding somewhat low energy overall and a Thomas Jefferson who looked remarkably like mrmorse in profile. Evan was spectacular. Sunday in the Park with George: The performances were technically excellent, but maybe lacking something overall, because the show didn't move me as much as it seems to move other people whose theatrical opinions I respect. Lag B'Omer Raffle: We raised over $5,000 for the shul. Less than we need, but that was a healthy start. Lag B'Omer BBQ: A success. Atlanta: Tickets bought, need hotel reservation. msmidge's ketubah nearly finalized! Sacramento: Possibly the fourth week of June. Tickets pending. Chicago: Possibly the first week of July. Boys, assorted: Nothing new to report. Carsten: No, I didn't shoot him, I shot near him. :-) Concert: motzei Shabbat on the 22nd, please come! Shul: Yet another meeting tonight, and another this Sunday morning. *sigh*

My left eye has been hurting since I left the office last night. It's like I have an eyelash in it, except there's no foreign object visible and no amount of rinsing is making it better. I can't have simply scratched it, because the scratchy feeling floats around from side to side the way an eyelash does. Arrgh.

Okay, back to work.

Did you go to the meeting Monday? How did it go?

Oh yes! Well, basically it seemed useful... except that I fear a very few certain people came away angrier than they went in. Bleah.

Tonight, I intend to push for postponing the minyan decision another month, to allow for further alternative proposals.

Eye

I get that symptom frequently from allergies. Try (a) splashing water on it (warm or cold), (b) using a couple of drops of Visine or any cheapo eye drops, or (c) your favorite allergy medication.

A hot wet washcloth over it for a while also helps sometimes, but is probably not an option at work. Likewise a short teary cry, if you can summon one.

Jefferson looked like mrmorse? I completely failed to notice.

The irony of this suggestion is that I already had a tearier-than-average morning. :-P No luck. However, I will try the compress and/or eyedrops later today. Thanks.

Only in profile, but then, definitely.
ablock noticed. greenlily noticed. So it wasn't just me. :-)

Re: Eye

[navrins]

Yeah, I thought that mught be the case, based on yesterday's post, but it couldn't hurt to suggest it. :-)

Well, I'm sure you all see mrmorse more often than I have in the last year, so whatever. And you, at least, are more tuned to his appearance than I am.

Every facet. *sigh*

P.S. The compresses and eyedrops do seem to be helping. Thanks.

Thomas Jefferson who looked remarkably like mrmorse

I guess I can see that, but only slightly.

With some noodling around on the Players website, I give you John Lapham as Thomas Jefferson. Y'all tell me. :-)
