Is that how choir masters pick up spare cash?
Dave Lieberman...catch him if you can!
I'm off to try to build a gingerbread house now.
I need to scram, too -- time to clean and decorate the casa -- which was neglected during the run of the show. Sadly, I don't have a One of the Evil Eye to do my bidding (but by choice -- I don't like strangers messing around my house).

I would want the biggest plane possible with a one way flight. At least the cat can go on the plane with you. That is one pet down. I'm trying to remember your dogs. Can either fit under the seat? There are services that arrange to ship your pets. They cost about twice what you will spend to do it yourself. I'm not sure I would trust someone to drive my dogs & especially my cat, and not lose them. I would have to check the service, & the individual person, very carefully.When DS Craig flew from Romania to the states with DD Yogie I did find a service that would let him ride from NY to Pittsburgh with the dog. They would have taken the dog alone. Instead I picked them both up in DC & drove them to Pittsburgh. I don't remember the company. I found them on-line while searching. I must have called about 5 different services. I can help you look if you like, just not until the family leaves on the 26th. Feel free to email me with questions.I've got a Norfolk Terrier & a Border Collie.I really don't want to fly them in cargo. If possible, I'd like to find a service that drives them.Is the Norfolk small enough for a plane ride? Though I expect if you find a driver for one it might be nicer to have company. I suggest going on line and calling different places, just to get a feel for what they do. Save the ones you like the best.Do you have a really good pet sitter that might be willing to drive them?

However, there are rumors that Dave Liberman is around today. Although, with my luck, I'll end up with Gordon Ramsay.
Which Food Network star will DR JoseSPiano kiss first?
Very very severe icy weather is predicted for later tonight here. I had a sliding sideways experience in the parking lot of the Dollar General Store where I went to buy some Diet Pepsi 2 liters (always only $1.15).....whew!
Later today I'm headed up to Ventura with the Chuckster (yep, he drove in from Arizona yesterday!) to visit with some old friends - Neil and Kathy - who are playing a Peter Pan (I think it's Peter Pan...) with incidental music by Leonard Bernstein. I met Neil my first day at Juilliard, back in Sept. 1972. He's a bass player - currently plays a lotta movie scores. Kathy also was at Juilliard, became a tenured horn player at New York City Opera for years and years, until she busted outa there. They came up and played our first Chaspen concert, Beethoven 5, in January 1992. Ah, memories! Ah, old friends!
“The Frog Prince” is composer Christopher Lee Fraley’s second commission for Chaspen and his second collaboration with librettist Penny Orloff. Their first, “Red Riding Hood,” played at last year’s Redmond Children’s Playhouse. A former cellist, Fraley’s compositions include string quartets, chamber ensembles and symphonic works, as well as song settings of his own poetry.
Has anybody on this Forum ever dealt with (or know of) a RELIABLE service that moves pets across country? Preferably by car, but we will consider flying them under the right circumstances.As many of you know, we're moving from Los Angeles to Austin, TX in late March and, if possible, I would like to avoid driving the animals (2 dogs/1 cat) for the 4-5 days it will take to get there. ...
All in all, I had a great time. And even though I'm a major Food Network fan(atic), as well as a pretty decent home cook, there was plenty there to keep me entertained as well as educated. -Or something like that.

I have an appointment with my Dentist today (thanks to a cancellation and my need!). My dentist is Anna (But not formally known as Panni or Maria).

One of them I talked to is even home based in Austin.I'm also told that an animal will do better in a 3-hour flight than in a 3-4 day drive.I will keep investigating.Thanks.
