Good morning, all! I slept late, maybe too late, but I needed the sleep. I have laundry to begin, some housecleaning and a few errands today. Much of my weekend is dependent on how much music to be edited shows up between now and tomorrow, I regret to say. This entire project of DEAREST ENEMY is a month behind schedule and complicating my life. I'm sure it's the same for all involved. I wanted the whole thing completed by Feb 15. I think we're looking at around an April 1 completion date. There's no one to blame for the delays. There's too much work cleaning up another's project 10 years after the event for too little money, and it would have been easier starting from scratch.

Yesterday, I passed along to the Man From Philadelphia all of the info concerning a new office space, but there's strangely been no response, yea or nay. I'm hoping it resolves itself favorably     for us, but I'm concerned.

Time for coffee.

Sunday's good, but right now I'm juggling too many things. This has been a day of difficult tsuris-filled emails, from closing the PHI office and things to be done to facilitate it to problems with getting another office to a missing English lyric in the booklet for the Herbert songs. The booklet looks beautiful with wonderful illustrations, but I've got to fnd the music, take care of the lyrics problem and repair this ASAP.

From DR Jennifer:
Quote
DR Jane where did you buy these ebooks? If it was at B&N then I would look at the comments. Maybe someone else noticed the problem?  If you got it from your library mabe ask someone there. I am curious because for the kindle every ebook looks similar to me in terms of print. But i do have the options to adjust things.

Thanks for the tip to check Barnes & Noble for comments.  For BLUE by Lou Aronica I found many complaints regarding the font & the inability to adjust it.  Unlike others I seemed to have been able to make the print darker which helped.

THE WILD GIRL by Jim Fergus was an ePub book from the library.  I found it available at B&N & there weren't any negative comments regarding the horrible font & other problems I experienced. 

I'm just discovering that all eBook formats are not equal.  The surprise for me was not having the option to adjust the format.  I'm glad I persevered as I enjoyed both books & neither was more difficult to read than the paperback the preceded them.

I packed, had lunch, did errands and whatnot and went to hopefully pick up packages and an important envelope only to find that at one-thirty the mail place hadn't gotten the mail.  I was not so happy and I'll now have to go back whenever they've got it - problematic, of course, because I had to not to banking until I know if the envelope is here or not.  I also have sent all the singers their music and charts, so that's done.  I'm also trying to figure out whether I should bring a mini-hard drive with me to have some documents on it, should I need to work on them - but I actually think that I can bring a tiny flash drive because the documents take up almost no space whatsoever.  I think that's the ticket.  And speaking of ticket, I've printed out my boarding pass, too.

I watched the POTO last night on PBS.  It was good, but I guess I am just spoiled.  First of all, Ramin sang well, but I felt that the WSMA was far better in the role.  And after seeing the 92-minute Las Vegas Spectacular, I thought the full version was a bit tedious in places.

A lot of it they knew as we sing it in class.  It was nice to show video also.  It makes a connection.  I showed Tall Paul, Let's Get Together, Hidgidus Fidgidus, Fortuosity, Substitutiary Locomotion, Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (s clip with the Sherman Brothers at the piano along with Walt Disney), It's a Small World, The Tiki Room and Feed the Birds. Along with a one minute clip from the Sherman Brothers documentary (The Boys).

It sounds like a great tribute.

I only have a half an hour, it could have gone on for hours!!

Mail finally arrived and thankfully the important envelope was there.  I then did my banking, got cash for the trip, and am now all prepared and can have a relaxing evening.  I will finish all liner notes on the plane and in NY.  I have all documents on the little teeny-tiny flash drive.

I got a nice (surprise) envelope, too, today...from WGA.

I watched the POTO last night on PBS.  It was good, but I guess I am just spoiled.  First of all, Ramin sang well, but I felt that the WSMA was far better in the role.  And after seeing the 92-minute Las Vegas Spectacular, I thought the full version was a bit tedious in places.





I liked the Las Vegas version too.  Since it's closing this year I may see when I'm in Las Vegas.  It should be interesting to see Anthony Crivello for the first time after seeing the WSMA several times.

 Lucky for him, he died.

Two women in the Ellory Queen novel, HALFWAY HOUSE, find out they are both married to the same man after he was murdered.  I'm only half way through the book & don't know if one of the wives committed the murder or not.

Did a Sherman Brothers tribute in class today.  Hopefully they learned something.  Made sure I included the musical numbers that were included in the Shermanized Word Medley, they loved all those. 

What age are your students?

K-5 grade

The fun ages.

I am enjoying them all.  I need to practice the alto before Sunday.  We have a flute choir rehearsal in the afternoon.  We're rehearsing in band for our next concert.  I was kind of hoping I could play piccolo, but our piccolo player doesn't have a conflict after all and the first chair (who doesn't really like me and who just bought a piccolo) would be playing it instead.  That's ok.   I'm having a blast

There was a(n) hilarious story in this morning's paper about some idiot who managed to get three (count 'em) speeding tickets, all for over 100 mph, within the space of 60 minutes in the Columbia Gorge.  Why was he speeding?  To make his court date on drug charges.

 I heard this on NPR today!!!

I know someone whose husband had another wife. They discovered each other when he had a stroke and was in the hospital. Lucky for him, he died.

tomorrow morning I am one of the drivers for a group my from church that are going to work at the Bowery mission in downtown Manhattan - but as one of the drivers in, I of course, am also one of the drivers back - so it does not seem that I will be able to join  BK for dinner tomorrow night,

On Sunday, Vixter is the assisting minister at church and I am one of her communion assistants -    Vixdad is feeling under the weather now so after leaving him to his own devices all day Saturday and Sunday morning I may be unable to get away to come back in Sunday afternoon much as I would like to.

my grandfather did this and I have his meat grinder now

he also rendered his own lard and canned (canning jars) his own vegetables from his garden - his every day meals were fantastic!  What a cook that man was!

 I still have a case of his canning jars as well....
