... still sheltering, still in California...
 
had a couple more opportunities to virtually view theatre programs.  my friend James reprised his role in Looking Over The President's Shoulder which is a phenomenal one man production, in which he is a tour de force!  as part of my Disney Family Museum membership, I got to watch a webcast of Alan Menken and Lin Manuel Miranda talking about and making music magic!  that was fun!! 
 
virtually attended the annual meeting for our theatre group.  it was nice to see people in the zoom session, and I even piped up with an opinion on what I felt was an important matter.  voted in some new officers and on some bylaws updates.  
 
attended another BLM webcast called Voices for Justice: Standing for Black Lives which was filled with poetry reading, informational sessions, protest commentary and musical interludes.  it was moving, inspirational, heart-warming, maddening (at the many injustices still carried out today) and all around well worth the time spent. 
 
 ventured out one Saturday afternoon to have brunch with two of my oldest theater friends.  we all vowed that we were virus-free, and wore our masks, and had a delightful time dining on the patio of a local eatery.
