Craig had a phone interview for a job as a para-educator (teacher's aid) today and was offered the position. His cleared it through his adviser at Johns Hopkins & will be accepting it tomorrow. The position includes full benefits. He will attend classes in the evenings.

The final 6 episodes began Monday July 9 so there should be tonight and two more

I was so busy today that I didn't hear one spoiler about the Olympics and I'm really enjoying them tonight. Maybe I better get off the computer so the no spoilers doesn't change

Jane · « **Reply #154 on:** July 30, 2012, 06:46:09 PM »

Thanks.

Recovery vibes to Keith and job congrats to Craig!

Thanks DR's George & Ginny.

When asked where he wanted to work he named several areas and stated this location as where he didn't want to work.

On the upside it is a very good school. He liked the principal who interviewed him and their special education program is what he is interested in.

Had he known sooner he could have come home 3 days sooner & not bothered looking for a place to live. Tomorrow, after confirming his job, he will call the building he used to live in and take something there. He used to pass the school all the time when he lived there.

This won't be convenient to his classes but close to his apartment giving him time to walk Yogi before & after work.

Re: Is he gay or European.

Elmore, Matthew was referring to a song from Legally Blonde. Or in his case, Legally Blonde, Jr.

You know the Proctor & Gamble ad campaign "Proud Sponsor of Moms"? P & G was also a sponsor of the World Choir Games in Cincinnati earlier this month and they honored the choir moms, too. Here is Middletown's mayor volunteering at the desk where the moms went to pick up their thank-you tote bag:

So glad to hear that Keith's eye procedure went well and that Craig got a job.

Rehearsal was very rough - this is one instance where everyone had their music the first week of the month - I don't think it makes any difference whether they get it two weeks before the show - most of the rough was our MD who hadn't really done his homework - he will before Thursday - he had a very busy week.

Also, astonishingly, I got an e-mail from someone raving about Follies and telling me not to pay attention to the people on the castrec group - apparently someone or some people have been bitching about something. What is WRONG with these people? If someone can fill me in perhaps I'll have some fun with it.

Hello, everyone.

Larry, I'm so sorry to hear about your Aunt Jenny. She was your mother's brother's wife? When I was growing up there was a strong resistance to step in when parents dropped the ball. It was good of her to do so.

Eye vibes to DS Keith. Jane, was this a cataract surgery? I'm glad things are improving. He was unable to see colors?

Jeanne · « **Reply #167 on:** July 30, 2012, 07:25:37 PM »

JRand, so sorry to hear about the break-on. I know it'll mean extra work for your sister and possibly for you, too. Plus it's always a bad feeling.

Jeanne · « **Reply #168 on:** July 30, 2012, 07:26:35 PM »

I did not order a Follies CD, but I would like to know why it hasn't arrived yet.

If you're so inclined, would you mind clicking on this link and "liking" my photo so I might win a Vera travel bag:

Oh My God.

That's all I can say, having just listened to FOLLIES.

It's all new to me, so I have no points of reference. And I didn't sample the LP first. I'll do that later. Probably won't get far with it, but it'll be fun. I just dove right in. The CD just sounds truly wonderful.

And what a score. This book of the songs that I'd never opened up just became worth its weight in gold, though I'm sure I'll eventually want the actual score.

Jeanne · « **Reply #172 on:** July 30, 2012, 07:39:18 PM »

DR John G, I also liked THE BOOK THIEF very much. I think you'll enjoy reading it, too. The book design is interesting, and makes it a visual experience, as well.

I know it's billed as young adult, but I found it pretty dark for YA.

George · « **Reply #173 on:** July 30, 2012, 07:40:03 PM »

I'm heading home.

Until later!

Jeanne · « **Reply #174 on:** July 30, 2012, 07:40:33 PM »

I haven't heard FOLLIES yet, which makes me the PERFECT person to comment on it.

DOC MARTIN SPOILER!!

I watched Series 5 last week and enjoyed it just as much as previous seasons. I think the addition of Dame Eileen Atkins was great. I always like her.
