I suspect my local mechanic is planning his Bermuda vacation.

Too our heap in to get it serviced for the trip to NYC.

Cooling sytem flushed, new thermostat.
Hydraulic system flushed, new filter.
Oil changed, new Filter.
Front brakes replaced
Rear brakes tightened
Tires rotated

I'm told to expect no change from $1000.

Truth be told, all that work was needed - I've done nothing save change oil for the past three years and the car just rolled over 120,000 miles and is entering it's 11th year.

LOL, DR der Brucer!

In 2003, our family sent a local oral surgeon to Europe, I think. My mother, my mother-in-law, our son, and I all had major procedures performed by him within just a few months.

See you and DR SWW soon!

Here is something for DR SINGALONG to ponder:

THE ATLANTIC

Quote

I'm writing because I find it fascinating to read non-musicians writing about music. While I can tentatively agree on some of the things he says (well, despite being a church musician amongst other things myself, I don't buy the notion of composers as taking dictation from above), one of the things he totally misses is that, at least for people who make music, music at least in part represents the actions taken to make music!

When I hear a great voice singing, I thrill at the thought of what it must feel like to open one's mouth and make a sound like that, knowing what it feels like to sing. And it's not hard to extend the ideas to various sorts of instrumental playing. A big shift has occurred over the past 100 or so years with the advent of electronic distribution and reproduction of music in that most listeners now are physically divorced from the making of music, and in fact have never taken any serious efforts in making music themselves. This leads to the sense of separation of music from the physical world that Sacks is talking about. I'm not judging whether or not this is a good thing, but it certainly represents a marked change in the experience of music since the 19th century.

Yup - but we've really not yet made any plans. We have tickets for SGF at 4:30 and The Brain From Planet X (perhaps the mime version) at 8:00. The thrifty soul (read Germanic tightwad) in me wants to park in Jersey City and use Public Transit from there - the "time is precious, use it wisely" part of me wants to take the Lincoln Tunnel in and Park in the first available garage. I hope to have us in Midtown by noon. (I am assuming Sunday morning traffic on the Jersey Turnpike will be light.)

Hello, HHW!

I slept late, rare for me, but I had only an hour's sleep the night before my trip, plus a very long, though wonderful, day on Wednesday. So you could say that I'm taking today to collapse.

Now, to attempt to catch up on two days of posts.

Unless someone sneaks in with a camera I doubt there will be any legal taping of Brain. There are union rules, donchaknow

Ginny · « **Reply #162 on:** September 28, 2007, 10:21:18 AM »

DR Ben - which performance of Such Good Friends are you seeing Wednesday? Richard and I will be there at 4:30 (then The Last Starfighter at 9).

Sorry to hear about DR MattH's absence from this here site. What I was surprised about was that DR MattH had a job reviewing the DVD'S he spent his days wacthing and sharing with us. I always thought he was retired and spend his days watching great movies and TV and how lucky we were to reap the benefits of his findings. I hope he returns soon, he is quite an asset around these parts.

DR der B - Ouch! about the car bill. It is wonderful and amazing to me what DRs are doing, in their own and various ways, to support the shows in NYMF.

And...

Thanks for the quote. Very very interesting. I will want to look more at that blog.

Quite right. Perception is "personal" and accumulative, too.

There are very wise souls on this here board.

It depends. If they force me to wear the floral print instead of the pastel I have my eyes on, I may just pull a prima donna hissy fit...

This is one of the songs we're doing!

It's a four song medley. I was very apprehensive about it, but now that I've met the gal and we've run through it, I think it's going to be great fun.

I can't say that I've loved this day so far, but maybe it will pick up when I get to the theater for this afternoon's performance. There are times, oh, yes, there are times when one just wants to open the window and go flying. One doesn't of course, but one sometimes wants to.

Student Gunman Holding Up to 10 Hostages in California High School

Police are negotiating with a student gunman who fired shots inside a northern California high school.

Up to 10 students are being held in the bandroom at Las Plumas High School in Oroville, Calif. by a student with a gun, according to preliminary and unconfirmed reports from the police scanner. No injuries have been reported.

A dispatcher at the Butte County Sheriff's Department says a 911 call came into authorities just after 9 a.m.
He said deputies are talking to the student and trying to negotiate with him to put down the gun.

Sounds like somebody did not get to play his instrument of choice.

Who knows when I'll have time to catch up on the rest of the programs that are currently saved on the DVR? $:-\$

Exactly the problem I'm trying to avoid. I've managed, until last night, to keep my recorded programs to under 20% of the available space. And that's quite a bunch of movies off TCM.

But those HD broadcasts eat up space...and I recorded four of those shows last night. Will watch them tonight and delete, of course.

The problem with the movies is that I find myself less interested in some of them than I was when I scheduled them. I'd hate to delete anything without first watching it, though.

Sigh.
