Annabelle seems frisky and playful this morning.  She had fun running about the halls, and she met a new neighbor from the fifth floor.
 That's all to the good.

Today I am mired in software installation and keyboard setup for the silent movie music this weekend. The composer has made instrument files available to us, and it's a bear putting it all together. I'm literally learning as I go, and my fellow keyboardist who's very experienced at it is finding challenges as well.

That, along with concern about the snow and/or other crap we're supposed to be getting this afternoon, is my day.

Thursday morning greetings!  We're in the throes of an ice storm.  When Rob came in from work about 8am and I asked him about going out, he said, "Don't!"  The roads weren't too bad, he said, but there were traffic lights out and tree limbs down all over the place.  Rebecca and I were supposed to meet for coffee...

I hate when important appointments are in the winter.

It's raining now, above freezing, but it's supposed to keep raining as the temperatures drop, so we'll have either snow or more ice.  And it's book group night at Carolyn's, about 6 miles away.

I've turned the radiator down as far as possible since it's been hotter than hell in the apartment.  Annabelle has retreated to the bathroom where she sleeps by the heating pipe which keeps that room very cozy,  Tonight I dragged out her favorite plastic washtub, put an old sweatshirt in the bottom and set it next to the heating pipe.  I expect her to spend much of the winter there.  When the building heat goes off at 11pm and the apartment cools down, I expect she'll crawl into bed with Thatch and me.

Cold Stone Creamery is like that.  It's fairly new to this area.  I've only gone there once, and kind of liked the idea, but it was a little more pricey and out of the way for me to go on a regular basis.

So, my friend did the computer-based keyboard programming this afternoon and talked me through installing it while he was waiting for his held curtain at Renascence tonight. We got some expensive instrument sounds for The Freshman, and they are lovely. Tomorrow, in between bouts of snow & sleet & rain cleanup, this is what I’ll be practicing and troubleshooting.

Sounds like fun.

Mom and Dad lost power today, as did 80,000 others in Louisville. My sister drove in to take them to a motel, because, otherwise, Mom would just sit in the cold. And complain. She's going to stay overnight with them and hopefully the power will be on by morning.

I think a hotel is a good idea.  Did your sister also lose power?

I also picked up a cheap copy of Nevil Shute's A Town Like Alice, which I've wanted to read for some time. I never saw the mini-series but heard it was good.

I am glad you are reading the book first.  I enjoyed the series but loved the book.

We had to read Shute's On the Beach in ninth grade.

One day I will get around to reading this.

Horrible story about a man yelling Heil Trump during a performance of Fiddler on the Roof:

It is a shame they couldn't arrest him.

So I got some things done ahead of time.  I was able to work efficiently since no one was emailing or calling because (I assume) they were all sitting in their cars going nowhere
