I wonder if, 20 or so years from now, no one will want to be a doctor anymore. We'll all just have to stand in front of some kiosk, type in our symptoms, get a robo diagnosis, and then a bunch of pills will fall out of a dispenser.

I guess I had some kind of crazy ambition a few months back when I got all this. Maybe next year. #Gardening

Fun but uneven La Cage aux Folles at NY City Center. I've wanted to see Wayne Brady in an encores for DECADES. Glad he finally made it into one. Between Mame and La Cage, Jerry Herman has composed some of the most tear-jerking songs on Broadway ever, and yes, today I sobbed several times.

A bunch of Bach by a bunch of Bachs tonight. Jean Rondeau and Orchestra of St. Luke's. Non-stop music, quite literally.

Apparently I am the last person to figure out about using a timer for my outdoor Christmas lights. Not having to futz around with the cords and the plug in the dark twice a night! They come on by themselves!! I am living in the future.

Timer to turn outdoor lights off and on, that makes me feel like a queen.

Yesterday's outing. Solid cast, fantastic set design, but I didn't really connect with the play. Really meaty, PERTINENT subject matter but as a whole the work didn't deliver on the promised "explosiveness."

Wildly varied program (poorly reviewed by NYT) from Dutch National Ballet today w Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in attendance. Very appreciative audience - including the woman next to me who hollered & woot wooted at every spin, leap and pause. Looking at you Grand Tier, Row B

Oh my goodness, where to start about this book: a sweeping, epic, gorgeous, insightful, poignant, profound saga. 450+ pages just flew. Literally had to catch my breath when I finished. I'm certain producers are fighting hard over the film/ miniseries rights. Bravo Patrick Ryan. #BookSky

I have a theory that the worse the sentiment is in America the earlier people start decorating for Christmas.

I'm not sure what the film does with this original material, but I recommend this collection of short stories. If you think you don't like short stories, try these anyway. In total, they read like a novel - a time travel through New England. #BookSky

So, Hofesh Shechter's Red Carpet -- Absolutely exquisite dancers. Truly extraordinary. But an assaultingly loud score. Horrible "lighting" design that obscured about 80% of the performance. Very intriguing and nuanced choreographic vocabulary but 75 minutes of it got to feel rather self-indulgent.

Second outing of the fall season. Must admit - I preferred the 1998 cast/production to this one. Marc: Bobby Cannavale. Then: Alan Alda Serge: Neil Patrick Harris. Then: Victor Garber Yvan: James Corden. Then: Alfred Molina
