Good morning, all! I slept terribly, although I was glad to be home, and I am all caught up on the past two days.
I'm happy to know that DR Danise and the dogs are warm and the heater is repaired.
I wish Joshie a safe trip to the vet with no tantrums.
I think it's nice that DR RonPulliam rushed to the defense of Lea Michelle, although the gossip seems to indicate that she is a Royal Pain and not a particularly friendly or pleasant young lady. The actress in TRUE GRIT may not have Ms Michelle's bellowing chops, but she's a younger and better actress.
So, my trip to DC had its fraught moments, but on Monday night I had a wonderful dinner with my friend amd Sousa authority, conductor and curator Loras Schissel of the LoC Music Division. Yesterday, I got to the LoC around 9 am, spent a profitable morning playing in the card catalog and the lady who made LIFE BEGINS AT 8:40 one of the worst career experiences of my life showed up to work - I was hoping she'd take the day off, gven her "personal" problems - and she wanted to be friendly; I did not.
Then we we had at 11 a long meeting about the McGlinn estate with the executor, the head of the Music Division Susan Vita, Loras, Mark Horowitz, Jan who has much to do with the Music Division's website, Dan (David?) who manages the reading room. and the lady I wanted to avoid! The meeting, because one person never shuts up, lasted two and a half hours! Then we - the lady I wanted to avoid, the executor, Sue Vita, and I - went to lunch, came back, visited with several other librarians whose company I like, and got the 5:05 train to Dodge. I think the meeting was interesting and several goals were achieved. I was primarily there to provide the introduction to the McGlinnestate executor.
