We were without power & phone service much of the day. Fortunately the power didn't go out until after I got out of the shower. I couldn’t dry my hair but it wasn’t too cold in the house without the heater on. Yes, we need the heat. It was cold, wet & windy this morning.

Kerry, the fundraiser is November 5th - I'm VERY nervous about it, given the issues we're having getting the funding checks and because being here in NY for six weeks and not being able to deal with it, has put us in the horrible position of having to do everything in four weeks, and that includes selling 1000 tickets. If there were any way to push the show into January, I would do it, as difficult as it would be. Everything depends on the timeliness of the next funding payment which was, in fact, due on the 15th.

On top of that, the entertainment portion of the OTHER fundraiser for the LACC Foundation is completely falling apart and unfortunately it's all going to be on my shoulders to fix it. The conductor I got is now having "elbow" problems and may have surgery. I suspect that these problems would go away if he could only have as many musicians as he wants - eighty. Unfortunately, it's not possible because the most they can fit in the room is forty-five, and he's basically known this since July. They'll be playing a musical tribute to Jerry Goldsmith, but NOW we're finding out that the charts won't necessarily work for forty-five players, because they're designed for symphony orchestras. So, I'm not sure where this is leading, but since I arranged for all this, they're looking to me to fix it. And I don't know how to fix it and do the benefit we're doing in November and it's just driving me crazy, which is why I'm up three hours after having gone to bed.

Good fundraiser vibes. Keep me posted.

Be good today!

Yeah, the homeless bottom feeders at the library that were roasting marshmallows around the perimeter.

Ahh...well, fortunately, I work at the adminstrative headquarters, so we're not a public branch, so the homeless bottom feeders are kept to a minimum.

We do have a Halloween pot-luck next month, though. Who knows what will come out of the woodwork, then. But the few people that I've shown the pictures to have said what a wonderful thing the ring is.

Thanks, Goerge, but it still wouldn't let me. I'm not good at this sort of thing (ask music Guy). I must depend on the kindness of strangers.

Okay...click on "Edit Profile" at the top of any page and in the big list of avatars next to the "Personalized Picture" option, there is now one named "Kerry-avatar." Just select that, uncheck the boxes under that list (if any are checked), scroll down to the bottom of the page and enter your password. That should be it!

George · « **Reply #285 on:** September 28, 2007, 03:15:02 PM »

If I can change it to your picture, then you can too!

I took today off to recover, a bit of post-whirlwind R&R. I spent most of the afternoon catching up on posts--and am still not completely caught up!

Unfortunately, I missed Jose's movements on NYC streets. Singdaw and I were engrossed in a fascinating discussion. I was going on about how what I learned in my figure drawing days has helped me in other aspects of life. So engrossed were Sing and I that BK, acting as border collie, tried to hurry us along, reminding us that this is NYC and to TRY to stay out of the way of oncoming vehicles. I admit I was completely oblivious to said vehicles. I was talking, damn it!

thus I missed Jose.

Gosh i must be so out of it that when i saw DR MattH write "I will refrain from posting" i thought he was talking about not posting re: tv shows.

I thought the same thing & commented with that in mind. I sent Matt an email shortly after reading elmore's post.

This reminds me of a "Twilight Zone" episode in which a little girl slips into another dimension that is accessible only through the wall at the head of her bed.

One of my favorite episodes.

Thank you for enlightening us regarding Matt H. I didn't realize how hard he works.

Correct...if either of the boxes are checked, uncheck them. If neither of the boxes are checked, don't check either of them. Both should be unchecked.
