Daily Stuff: Finished the section for the girls with baskets in Don Juan. Re-arranged Don Juan's patterns in the piece as well. It works nicely as a lead in to the Gypsy section. Also, worked out the Gypsy exit at the top of the 2nd Act.

I was a big fan of episodic tv shows in the sixties, so I stole a little conceit from them. At the top of Act 2, the dancers repeat the last 30 seconds of Act 1. It's sort of a "on last week's episode of Don Juan." It works well.

Cleaned more of the Dream as well.
