I have just finished arrangements and orchestrations for AMT Theater's "Upside Down," which goes into rehearsal Monday. I didn't count the total number of bars, but the piano/vocal score is 178 pages. It's been a long month—I started with lead sheets!

Here's what I just did: left messages for Congressman Adriano Espaillat and Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand asking them to reach across the aisle and find Republicans who are willing to push back on 47's illegal executive actions, which abrogate Congress' powers.

I don't want echo-chamber hand-wringing. I want a calm, rational assessment of whether there are any potentially effective responses we should be making, whether to push back or simply to mitigate the effects. Anybody got anything like that?

Sometimes you see a musical that reminds you why you fell in love with musical theatre in the 1st place, and also reassures you that if it can be this good, this heartbreaking, this joyful, then maybe you haven’t been crazy to spend your whole life working on it after all. #maybehappyending

We're still scratching our heads about this episode. We finally got an address (verified by the rewards store) to return the Apple Watch this weekend, so I guess the story ends there? But if any more thieves want to give us money or send us presents, we won't say no. 4/4
