Bye for now.
And the word of the day is: MOUE!
DR Elmore - it's possible I may be part of a production of The Most Happy Fella next year and because of house size, we may end up using the two piano arrangement. What do you know about it? And/or, what are your feelings about it?
I love the score, it's one of my favorites.
I use the Post Office Zip Code search site frequently in my daily work and I've had that same problem. The zip code is correct but for some reason it doesn't appear in the Zip Code database AT THE POST OFFICE. I would think a company knows their zip code
Oatmeal, dried cherries, pecans, cinammon and coffee.
And the word of the day is: MOUE!

I have no idea what this means. But I'm glad you found your document.
Re: "Dancing With the Stars"
Does anyone think Bristol Palin's resilience has to do with the hopeful optimism that she seems to exude despite her personal, graceless clunkiness?
Or is she being propped up by the same sort of cabal that saw Taylor Hicks through to winning American Idol a few years back?
Good news re: little Ricky.
Thanks for those who gave vibes. I am feeling almost good as new today. But boy was I scared last night. I guess the expired pills worked.
Back from the funeral and a short visit to the house - the funeral was attended by at least five to six hundred people. Parking was madness, but we got there about five minutes after the service had begun. I'm not big on the service part, but Michelle's husband Steve spoke eloquently and wonderfully, with humor and warmth, Howard McGillan sung Ave Maria, and Reece Holland sang for good. There was a very long period where everyone took communion or whatever it is - the wafer thing - all five hundred people (well, not all). It was nice. Then I went and got the helper started and then went to Steve and Michelle's gorgeous Toluca Lake home. I didn't know that many people, but Michael Caprio was there (he worked at Varese most of the time I was there), and Joan Ryan. I was fine until I saw Steve - he hugged me and was so effusive about the work Michelle and I had done and I could literally not speak. I was there about fifteen minutes, then had to get back home to give Juliana A. Hansen a tape of her music.
I'm going to be the speaker at the meeting of the Network Austin Mixer TODAY. 6 PM at the 501 Studios.I just got back from South Padre. Don't have time to get to Austin in 20 minutes. But would have loved to have been there.
I hope all my Austin (and San Antonio) friends can be there.

I really hope that she doesn't make it to the finals. She seems nice enough. But she really can't dance and I do not enjoy watching her dance. I don't even think she looks like she is having fun.
I honestly do not think that she will win. I mean how can she? It would be one thing if she wasn't quite as good but still fun and entertaining. But she's not.
I don't even find she seems hopeful. More like shocked that she's still around.
Tomorrow i'm going to Sioux Falls to meet my parents who are going there to shop.

TCB, your story reminds me of the LOOOOONG joke about the priest and rabbi who decide to have a contest about converting a bear to their religion. The joke goes on forever, but the punch line is the rabbi saying, "Next time, I won't start with the circumcision."

Well, I think it is about time that you met your folks.
I ordered myself a pizza tonight, to celebrate Veteran's Day tomorrow.
I'm glad that all worked out for you, Elmore!

Kick-off was 8pm, EST. Miami just scored a touchdown and I just caught a glimpse of Lauren - she's wearing a gray knit cap and is usually carrying the water bottle caddy.

Great to hear. May I have one of those pills? I really don't need one as Tylenol is working fairly well if I keep taking it. I've had mild migraines with mild nausea on and off for over a week now. It seems to be worse in the early morning hours interrupting my sleep. My guess is my broken eye glasses and/or the new meds are causing it.

Kurt Warner wasn't that good either. I don't think she should win. But I'm kind of amused she's still there

It was sort of weird driving tonight.
I won't say my head hurt today. but there was a slight headache sensation. And tonight driving I noticed all the blaring lights were bothering me a bit.
I took these today to the bus. This weekend there is a big adoptathon, where the placement person feels sure they will go home.
The talk at the Austin Network Mixer went well.
The audience asked some good questions, and I sold a lot of books.
Up until this batch, if they didn't get adopted from the bus they were placed in a Petsmart or Petco until they got adopted. I was assured they stayed until they got adopted. I never had any that were mean and unadoptable.

Oy, I've had a needlessly stressful last few hours. Weeks ago I was madly throwing old files away in a (vain) attempt to get this new house cleaned up. Yesterday I started having the nagging pit in the stomach feeling that I had thrown away a very important document pertaining to our oil tank decommissioning at the old house. I spent all of this morning looking for it to no avail. I knew our realtor had made a copy, so I left a message for him, and I called the Oregon DEQ and left a message for them. Well, I just looked inside one of the hundreds of closets ( ;) ) in this house and found my file box with the info in it. Whew.

BTW, the first day's Kaufman was not me, as his first name is different than mine and his last name is spelled incorrectly. ;)
I had another emergency afternoon: an email from one of the baritones singing with Rebecca Luker sent me a note saying he had the flu and couldn't sing tomorrow. I called Zak Stains and asked him if he would sing baritone instead of tenor if I couldn't find anyone and Zak agreed. Then I called my friend, also a friend of our DR Jose, Chris Carfizzi, whose brother Patrick is an opera singer, and asked him if he wanted to be on a recording tomorrow. By 4:30, I had sent an mp3 file of the baritone part of the song to Chris by email, then I called Zak and told him to go back to tenor, and at 6:00 he arrived here for a copy of the music and we visited for nearly an hour.
The Tony Awards are moving to the Beacon Theater next year. A 2900 seat theater as opposed to the 5900+ at the Radio City Musical. Maybe that will curtail the screaming and the whooping from the teenagers in the upper balconies to a dull roar
I think I'll go do a quick jog even though it's quite chilly out.
Very good news here in the City of Studio as regards the next Kritzerland release - the original album (which has been issued twice on CD) is quite weird - out of film sequence a little, and then all the music is literally from the second half of the film. We've got it all - every cue from beginning to end including some cues that didn't make the film. This will now become a 2 CD release and I think people will go ape over it - in fact, I predict an immediate sellout. In fact, I may see about upping this to 1200 to 1500 units. It's absolutely fantastic music, a beloved score, and we've got bonus tracks, too.
