Well, you've read the notes, you don't know what the HELL the tangerine running joke was, and now it is time for you to post until the tangerine cows come home.

~ ~ ~ EXCELLENT BREAK-A-LEG KRITZERLAND SHOW VIBES ~ ~ ~ tonight for bk and company!
-
bk, thanks for the fascinating run-down on the highs and lows of the recording sessions - as well as the photos. Can't wait to hear the final result.
-
~~~Break Legs Vibes for BK and Kritzerland Cast!!~~~
-
And a Very Happy Birthday to (hopefully not former) DR Edisaurus!! :D
-
Topic of the Day: cashews, pecans, almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts...probably in that order. Those are pretty much what I can think of. I'm sure others will post some other favorites that I'll agree with.
-
And now, to bed.
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Thanks, Matthew and Deb (Vixmom).

Anthony is up and out waiting on line at the Equity office to get an appointment for our taxes to be done by VITA. It's an arduous process (waiting for an appointment, not getting our taxes done). The appointments all go on the first day and then you have to take your chances on a walk-in appointment. I used to do my own taxes but now that we're married we have them done by the trained volunteers at Equity/VITA. We have to file this year for 2013 and re-file federal taxes for 2012 because when we filed last year the Supreme Court ruling had not yet come down recognizing same-sex marriage. We could have re-filed after the ruling but decided to wait until now. It's just a matter of re-filing for both of us, our federal returns listing us as married instead of single.
-
The weather has begun to change in Manhattan. There is rain, it's supposed to turn to snow and then weather in the 20s. Nothing like the MN/IA weather but still quite a change from the spring-like 55 degrees yesterday.
Larry, I hope your apartment cooled off a little yesterday.
-
Oatmeal, pecans, cinnamon, and blueberries and coffee.
-
And with that, I finish my morning frenzy.
Bye.
-
I finish my morning frenzy.
Apparently, that was not all. ;)
-
Wishing errant and truant DR Edisaurus a most festive birthday celebration! :) :)

Good morning, all! DR Ben, last night I slept with two oscillating fans aimed directly at me, and I even opened the window, but it is too damned hot in this apartment. And, because I was uncomfortable, it took me far too png to get to sleep.
It is indeed snowing, and I have so much to accomplish when I leave the apartment: first the bank, maybe Staples as well, physical therapy, the post office, and the pharmacy. After 2:00, Adam Alexander is stopping by to pick up a vocal score for ROBERTA. I also need to look over my tax notes and clean them up before tomorrow's appointment.
DR Dan M, what an amazing story about your medical diagnoses! You are very fortunate, but I suspect you already know this. HHW vibes do amazing things for the health system, but they've really failed me on real estate and lottery wins!
Welcome back, DR vixmlm!
Safe travels today for DR Ginny!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Happy Birthday to our E&T DR edisaurus !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning to all

Good morning, all.
Oy! Since going to bed last night, our snow forecast grew from one inch to two-to-four. Idiots!
Well, I'm prepared enough so I'm working my way from anger to acceptance mode. It's hardly the end of the world. The hell with it.
But wait. What if it IS signaling the end of the world? Hmmm...
-
Okay, now I really can't wait to hear this recording. :) Will the the cover art include a tangerine, I wonder?
-
Monday morning greetings! Thanks for the travel vibes - I'm ready to be home. This trip has had its share of weirdness, between the weather crisis in Atlanta and the animal crisis here in Carrollton.
Dexter seemed to be resting comfortably in front of the TV when we got to Perry & Pam's for the Super Bowl pre-game. Shortly after halftime, he became agitated and seemed to be having seizures of some sort. Richard and I decided to get out of their way about the same time they decided to take Dex Back to the vet. We all pulled out of the driveway at the same time and they zoomed past us as soon as we turned onto the divided highway. No word this morning...
-
DR Vixmom, yes, I have been to NC a couple of times, but would be glad to go back to retrieve your phone!
-
VIBES for a most excellent show tonight!
-
DR Dan M, several of us have learned that HHW is a great place to convalesce. I hope you don't need to, again, though. Welcome!
-
Hoping for a quick and successful return of your phone, DR vixmom.
I now know the trials and tribulations of losing one's phone. Especially an expensive one. Lordy.
-
Happiest of birthdays to DR Edi, who I was going to call when we got to Atlanta and try to get together. The weather interfered with that plan...
-
Happy birthday to dear Edisaurus!!!

If you are a fan of erotic noirish thrillers (e.g. BODY HEAT), I think you will enjoy my newest release,

Yes, echoing that sentiment!

And here are my adventures so far this morning: I walked to my bank on Broadway, and as I was crossing the street, I hit a slick patch and nearly fell. I did my banking and decided to cancel physical therapy, run my errands and get home. I got a nice taxi driver who drove me to the post office and I mailed my letters and packages, came out of the post office and slid and fell into the snow. I got a taxi to the pharmacy and picked up my meds, caught a bus, stopped at the metro station at 72nd Street to refill my Metrocard, and took a taxi to Staples, where I nearly fell again, and we'll see if the ink cartridge is the problem with my printer's color. It was an easy walk home fem there. The only uncleared sidewalk on Broadway? The Bank of America at 81st and Broadway. I hope someone falls and sues them.
I am all wet but I am home unbroken. I doubt I will be heading out again today.
-
How can you slip and trip into a hipbath?
Glad you are OK, DR elmore3003! You can't afford any further setbacks.
-

It was the color ink cartridge, and the new color printings are quite lovely. Printer problem off my back.
What fresh hell will be next?
-
Fresh hell-free vibes for Elmore.
And stay upright vibes, too.
-
I'm avoiding the Best Buy-CD player issue until the weather is clear and dry. I need to call my accountant and verify tomorrow's appointment.
-
DR Edisaurus,

-
I was surprised to wake up this morning to see a light dusting of snow on the ground. I disappointed there isn't more in the mountains.
-
DR Jennifer congratulations on your win. The doughnut sounds intriguing.
-
DR Vixmom, sorry about your phone. I hope some kind person mails it to you.
I've seen the promise to return the phone. I expect they will after you have made it easy for them to do so.
-
Glad you're OKAY DR ELMORE! My sidewalk had a bit of snow on top of what turned out to be a sheet of ice...so I nearly fell on my aspidistra this morning while taking the garbage cans out to the street.
Most of the research I found on the inner web about printers confirmed that the cartridge was usually the culprit, so I am happy it turned out to be so in your case.
NOW...if it is not out of your way....you might try a thrift or Goodwill store for a CD player. People are getting rid of nice ones for the very reasons that were pointed out here on HHW a couple of days ago: most music is now downloaded. I have seen several really nice sets at my local Goodwill store. Just take a CD (theirs are usually sealed), put the player in your cart and roll to the outlet, plug it in, and try it out....certainly make sure the power cord is with it. Sometimes if it isn't, you can find one on another item that fits it.... You might save some $$$$.
-
From DR Dan:
In January 2013, my PET scan showed that the cancer was in every part of my body. My oncologist said I was the worst case she ever had. By December 2013, the latest PET scan was taken, all the cancer was gone! Literally a clear picture.
WOW!!!!
-
From DR Vixmom:
absolutely! I am about to hit my 5 year remission mark - my HHW family got me and my daughter through the hard times!
I am all teary eyed and choked up now remember your struggle and DR Vixter's posts.
-
And here we are at Atlanta airport with 3+ hours to spare. We planned some extra time, then earned a little more from Delta with a 40 minute departure delay.
-
DR Elmore, take a hot bath and your pain reliever of choice in case some soreness develops later.
And take care!

SAFE AND EASY TRAVEL VIBES FOR DR GINNY & RICHARD!!!!

Keith just asked me who was on the phone a little while ago. My response was "I don't know, I thought you answered it". LOL I guess it was a wrong number as they hung up after 1 ring.

Many vibes to Dexter!

Were we down for about 30-45 minutes? I could not get onto the board.
-
DR Elmore, take a hot bath and your pain reliever of choice in case some soreness develops later.
And take care!
I'm fine, thanks! If it had been a grisly fall, I would have posted all about it. I just slipped and fell in the snow and got all wet. No pains, no blood, no breaks.
-
Thank you, all. for the concern about my slipping and sliding in this morning's snow. You should all know me well enough after 10 years of griping, boasting, grieving, and laughing with all of you on this site that if I were in pain or really injured myself, I'd make a novel of it.
Oy!

I'm up, and have been up since nine, but just dealing with the sites being down. Now I'm behind in my writing.

Good afternoon!

Looking forward to the recording of "And the World Goes Round!"

Happy Birthday to DR Edisaurus!

DR Jennifer congratulations on your win. The doughnut sounds intriguing.

What a hellish traveling season this is turning out to be.
Maybe it's altogether no worse than other winters, but it's just...bizarre.

That's the only thing that can keep me sane while sitting on a plane, or waiting for it in the first place. VIBES DR Ginny has plenty to read!
-
Yeah, I'm afraid so, DR Elmore. This is the second delay and I'm holding my breath that it's not canceled all together. I already have a long book on my iPad - Laura Hillenbrand's UNBROKEN.
-
Thanks, DR ChasSmith! In addition to the eBook, I also have a dead-tree book and my knitting.

Logging out to preserve my phone battery...

Safe home, Ginny.

And a very happy haineshisway.com birthday to edisaurus, who now lives on Facebook.

Wrote three pages, finished the chapter I was on, and now am beginning the big penultimate chapter of the book. I've already written some rough things for this chapter all along - just so I wouldn't forget anything. So, once I begin it should flow easily, at least that's the hope. This chapter will be a bit longer than any of the others.
-
I also did my banking.
-
Were we down for about 30-45 minutes? I could not get onto the board.
Neither could I and then I had to leave to get my bones tested. I hope that horrid med I have to take improved them.

Hello, all!
I made it to another day off, thankfully. The weather alone here is enough to wear anyone out.
Two more weeks and I'm home. Missing friends.... and Kritzerland too. It's been a little solitary up north. I'm ready to be done here.
BK, Congrats on the recording. Sorry that all the musicians were not quite on the mark, but I know you'll fix that and it will be wonderful. I look forward to hearing it!
Also, Have a Great Krtizerland show tonight!! Wish I could be there!!

Krtizerland Show vibes. What IS the show this month?
-
A-a-and now we're not scheduled to leave Atlanta until we were originally supposed to arrive in Dayton.
Sounds like our layover in San Francisco-not fun.

I like to walk and stretch often. It is boring but at least I'm moving.

I always have our chargers with me and then we sit next to plug outlets. That didn't work to well in Auckland since I didn't have an adapter.

We just moved to seats with outlets nearby.

Ah yes SHOW VIBES for MR BK & Co.
Ditto!
I think I sent good vibes this morning, too!
U'm pondering dinner.

Taxes are all set for tomorrow, Adam has been here for the score, union dues and a bill are paid, and I need a nap!

Whew, DR JRand! Better than the $700 it cost me when my CHECK ENGINE light came on the day before Thanksgiving!
-
Thanks DR JANE and DR CHAS SMITH.....yes we have a very good Car Repair Shop Guy.....and I take very good care of my car....so usually it can be repaired reasonably....
It is 10 years old now, though, so who knows how much longer that will be possible.
-
I remember that DR GINNY....so I was worried.....I left the paper in the car, but I will have a technical report tomorrow, when I bring the paper in.
-
Just had a bit of a writing frenzy - I've done eight pages so far. I think I'll take a break now, but will probably do two or three more after the show tonight.
-
The Kritzerland show is a movie song show.

Bruce, have a great show tonight!

Keith just asked me who was on the phone a little while ago. My response was "I don't know, I thought you answered it". LOL I guess it was a wrong number as they hung up after 1 ring.
Be very cautious on this. The latest "scam" is called the "one-ring" scam. Automatic calls are made to dial numbers in the U.S. and hang up after one ring. A callback number is left on your machine. Calling these numbers back can be VERY COSTLY....up to $30 just for redialing and up to $9 minute thereafter.
If you don't recognize the number, delete it from your call list.

I never call back numbers if someone calls and hangs up. If they don't leave a message, I just figure that it's a wrong number and I have no need to confirm that. Even if I do recognize the number, I don't call back if they don't leave me a message. If they want me to call back, then they need to let me know that they want me to call them back. I ain't no mind reader, ya know.
-
Did anyone get the dance reference?
Once and always!
-
I get the one-rings, the no-messages, the unknown names/numbers, the "toll free" numbers, and now, unfortunately, just to make it really tricky -- "local area code" ones.
The same spammers will go on leaving repeat messages FOR YEARS, and they have no end of numbers to show on your display. I've learned to recognize a lot of them, and a lot of other suspicious ones that turn out to be more of the same.
If I don't immediately know the number, NOTHING gets answered. Period. You can be on all the Do Not Call lists in the world (and I am), but no one's looking out for you. Just completely ignore these jerks. Now and forever.

Why should something so obvious get a comment?

Too windy for a bike ride, so a 40 minute bike ride in the workout room had to suffice.
-
DR Elmore - is your Jubilee recording still in print? If so, what label?
-
DR Matthew, jUBILEE never got a commercial CD release. There are recordings from the first 1986 production and the 1998 BBC broadcast floating about. Because there's so much music in the score, no one's performed either of the two dances that Porter wrote for the show. I prefer the 1998 broadcast because I loved Vivienne Martin and Denis Quilley as the Queen and the King; the one person I really like from 1986 is Rebecca Luker as the Princess.

I just got anEviction nticein my email from some law firm Littler.com but I really suspect it's some sort of phishing game. The email says:

To remedy the breach you have to quit the premises within the following four weeks.
If you fail to comply you will be physically removed and fined for up to 100 minimum monthly wages.

I like that idea Matthew. I used to love to talk on the phone but it is difficult to carry on a conversation when you keep saying "what".

The "ring & run" scams.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/dont-return-calls-area-codes-190000153.html
I remember a few of the variations mentioned here.
My sentiments exactly:
If you have voicemail – as pretty much everyone does today – there is usually no reason to call back missed calls from numbers that you do not recognize, regardless of the area code from which they originated. If a caller has something important to say, he or she can leave a message identifying himself or herself (or send you a text message). Don’t let curiosity get the best of you.

I just got anEviction nticein my email from some law firm Littler.com but I really suspect it's some sort of phishing game. The email says:
You are hereby given notice that you are in breach of your tenancy of the premises you currently occupy.
To remedy the breach you have to quit the premises within the following four weeks.
If you fail to comply you will be physically removed and fined for up to 100 minimum monthly wages.
Detailed information is attached herewith.

So this morning I woke up to about an inch of snow and more falling fast
-
After I dressed I cleaned off the front porch and steps, cleared off my car and Vixdad's car and returned to find the porch covered again .
-
The automobile is back home, and I am only $114 poorer...so that makes me happy.
Boy did you luck out! :)
I need a dose of your luck.
-
The drive to work was NOT nice especially as we notice on on way home from Florida the tread on the front tires was not all it should be
-
I shall now be on my way to the sound check, and then it's our show.
My writing frenzy continued unabated - I've done fourteen pages.
Great news.
-
I got to work a few minutes late to discover that only 3 others had actually even attempted the trip - three others didn't even bother to try and they all live much closer than two of the three that wer not only in but in early
The boss rewarded those of us that were in by offering to buy and pick up lunch - we called in our order and he set off
-
Show vibes for BK and company.
-
When he returned he announced we would all eat lunch together and then he was cleaning off all our cars and sending us home as the parking lot had not been plowed and now was under 6 inches of very heavy wet snow
He has a heavy SUV and had trouble managing to get out
-
So by 2:30 we were all on our ways home
-
Nearing the end of "Doctor Sleep." Really getting creeped out by some of this -- in the best way possible.
-
fortunately it seems most people stayed home (all the schools and colleges were closed) and I slipped and slid all the way home without sliding into any one or anything
-
On the ground in Dayton!
Great news, Ginny!

That was very decent of him.
-
I'm glad you made it home safely DR Vixmom. Will you be getting new tires?

I shall now be on my way to the sound check, and then it's our show.
My writing frenzy continued unabated - I've done fourteen pages.

A story on DANCING WITH THE STARS dropping the large band led by Harold Wheeler, and replacing them with recorded music and a smaller band trying for a younger demographic
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment/blogs/tv-guy/os-dancing-with-the-stars-drops-band-20140203,0,2503778.post
-
I decided to keep on and went directly to the tire dept of the local BJ's where I found two very bored young men I told them about my bald tires and they came out in the elements and agreed - they had the tires I needed in stock and while I enjoyed a Keurig Seattle rainforest coffee with hazelnut creamer and read a two month out of date entertainment weekly they set me up with new front tires.
One of the young men told me about a special for $50 off 4 tires. I asked him what he would recommend to his Mom -- he went out and looked at the rear tires and came back and said "Mom, those will last you a while longer and if you do decide to buy in the next couple of months come to me and I'll give you the $50 off then"
Nice kid
They also cleaned all the ice and snow off the car completely and cleaned my windows and checked and corrected the tire pressure in the rear tires
I have noticed young men have been much nice to me since I let my hair go grey silver
I tipped them each $10 and they both tried to refuse but I insisted and they seemed quite happy
I noticed the difference in the way the car was handling immediately I started driving again.
Well worth it!

Since I had gotten to the BJ's by 3:15 due to early release I was at home by 4:30 (the BJ's is only about a mile from my home)

I discovered that the Vixter had quite kindly cleared and salted the driveway (our driveway will accommodate 5 cars) and she cleared it right down to the pavement, likewise the pathway, steps and front porch
what a lovely girl she is!

She really pitches in and helps.

Well, it's time for me to go to the theater. This is the final tech week for "The House on Pooh Corner." It was a pretty good run-through yesterday, so it can only get better. Tonight, we actually have our stage manager (he was not available yesterday)!
Until later!

My boss also gave permission for me to send a prepaid FEDEX label to the motel for the return of the cellphone
I faxed it over and "Karla" acknowledged receipt so hopefully the cellphone will be home soon
-
Happy Birthday to Dear Edi!
-
Today I had peanuts, pistachios, and toasted almonds. Other favorites are cashews & macadamia nuts. Sometimes I eats handfulls of whole almonds.
Because others mention peanuts I have included them though they are not nuts:
"While “nut” is in their name, peanuts are in fact legumes. Peanuts actually grow underground, as opposed to nuts like walnuts, almonds, etc. that grow on trees"
Except for our new DR Dan you all know Brazil & Hazel nuts are not favorites of mine since they make my throat & mouth swell up.

Keith just asked me who was on the phone a little while ago. My response was "I don't know, I thought you answered it". LOL I guess it was a wrong number as they hung up after 1 ring.
Be very cautious on this. The latest "scam" is called the "one-ring" scam. Automatic calls are made to dial numbers in the U.S. and hang up after one ring. A callback number is left on your machine. Calling these numbers back can be VERY COSTLY....up to $30 just for redialing and up to $9 minute thereafter.
If you don't recognize the number, delete it from your call list.
Even if the number is a local area code?
If someone I know hangs up after one ring I still figure it was a wrong number, unless it is Keith calling from his cell phone.
Yes. There's plenty of local spam and phishing going around now, and those local area code numbers proliferate just as readily as the "long distance" ones. I don't even think a lot of the "local" ones are, indeed, local. They just have new ways of looking like a call you should pick up.

Shirley Booth had a mental illness? ;)
-
Funny you should mention that Dan. I don't normally think of Hazel when I talk about the nuts, however, I did as I was typing tonight. ;D
-
On our trip home we stopped at a Cracker Barrel in Savannah GA - it was raining and Vixdad had the headlights on
His car automatically turns off the headlights - mine does not
I am sure you have guessed the rest
-
By the time we came out from eating the battery had gone flat and the car would not start
-
Oh no!
-
Funny you should mention that Dan. I don't normally think of Hazel when I talk about the nuts, however, I did as I was typing tonight. ;D
She was great in it, even despite the really wretched final season. Don DeFore was a great foil for Shirley Booth. I think she is one of the underrated actors/actresses/performers (I believe that covers all of the appellations I can think of).
-
Vixdad went in to talk to the manager about called AAA but I knew that could take ages -- just then saw a tall man (I would guess late 30's) coming in to the Cracker Barrel and I stopped him on the porch
using my best sweet old lady voice I said "Oh young man I wonder if I could impose on you for some help I am afraid we've done a very foolish thing and left our headlights on could you give us a jump? I have cables..."
-
Having cables is smart. I don't have them but Keith does.
-
I have cables in the car, but the couple of times they've been used (for other people's cars, not mine), I've told the other people they needed to do the connecting and jumping.

AH the joys of the South!
In NY I suspect I would have received a two word response consisting of 7 letters, if I was granted a response at all...
In Savannah I heard "Why ma'am, it would be my pleasure to help y'all"
and he turned right around moved his truck next to mine and minutes later the van was back in business!
He absolutely refused to take anything from me and told me "Pay it forward"
I looked around and Vixdad was missing - turns out he was busy buying a Cracker Barrel gift card - he caught up with our good Samaritan and insisted he take it with our thanks
-
I believe in preparedness for disaster on long road trips especially in winter
I have a big rubbermaid box in the rear of the van in which I have a collapsible snow shovel, a new set of jumper cables, a blanket, a battery operated lantern, a gallon of -40 windshield deicer, 3 golf umbrellas, a first aid kit, a 6x6 ground sheet, several rain ponchos, a 40 gallon trash bag,a hagstrom map, a air compressor, a roll of paper towels, three bath towels, several bottles of water, 2 collapsible camp chairs and a frisbee.

Yes - we were very lucky he came in and experienced the driving difficulties himself - I think he was also pleased that those of us that came in had dressed in business attire not jeans and boots, were on time and never mentioned the weather or hinted at early dismissal

No we ate in "Japan" had a wonderful hibachi dinner - we were seated with 4 young folks (early 20's) from LA we hit it off and laughed our way through dinner which was delicious and reasonably priced

As I recall, Elmore was asking what fresh hell was next. Perhaps fresh hell is like a cat, as far as Elmore is concerned. Cats know I'm allergic to them and they come running to me. I love them, so I don't mind.
-
Great photos Vixmom. Looks like it was a lot of fun!
-
Watching the original A STAR IS BORN.
-
Thanks for all these wonderful birthday wishes from bk and the DRs. I hope shows go well tonight, legs are broken, (except for Elmore's) animal friends are healthy, people are traveling safely. I gues I just missed Vixmom in Savannah, where I went last weekend to show AKA DOC POMUS. I guess I shook too many hands because when I left I could tell I was coming down with something and today it's a fullblown sinus cold. So I am laying low and will celebrate later! Love all y'all, and that the southern hospitality that Vixmom experienced is a very real thing; glad you were helped in your time of need! XOX
-
Great to see you, Edi!
-
Nine!

Good night, all.

EDI!!!!!!! So glad to see you back in BKs livingroom. VIBES your cold leaves you quickly~~~~~~~

Can't wait for the winter olympics. One of my favorite things to watch
-
Hello, DR Edisaurus! It is so good to see you around these parts! :) Hope you feel much, much better very, very soon!
-
I'm just getting caught up with 2013 and I recently found "The Tonight Show Vault Series" which I highly recommend. If you aren't familiar with these DVDs, these are full-length original broadcasts of the Johnny Carson shows with or without the original network commercials. I have the first 3 volumes and they are a lot of fun. Sometimes the 1970s commercials are better than the guests!
-
I've got the program at PEO next meeting. Anyone have any fun Valentine or Olympic stories I could cover in about 20-30 minutes or so? We have lots of teachers and the elementary teachers always have us do a project they would do for their kids. I want to do something above a grade 3 level
-
DR vixmom - wonderful photos; thanks for sharing. And you deserve all the good things that happened to you today and on your trip!
-
Glad to hear that DR Ginny and her DH Richard are safely on the ground. What a long day!

Hello, DR Edisaurus! It is so good to see you around these parts! :) Hope you feel much, much better very, very soon!

Thanks, DR ChasSmith! In addition to the eBook, I also have a dead-tree book and my knitting.
I like to walk and stretch often. It is boring but at least I'm moving.
At least you can walk!

So since I'm still awake for some reason or other, I'll tell you a bit about my weekend.
I am singing in my DH's Episcopal church choir since moving to the Twin Cities, and they go on an annual retreat to learn music for upcoming services and concerts. We went to the campus of St. John's University, a Catholic institution located in Collegeville, MN, about 1.5 hours north by car. The campus is in a beautifully pristine setting of acres of rolling hills and lakes. There is also a Benedictine Monastery there. So 30 of us repaired north for the weekend.
The Benedictines are noted for their focus on hospitality. We were staying in the Guest House, a facility built within the past five years or so. It is simple but warm and welcoming. We attended meals in the common dining room (the food was again simple but wonderful), attended daily prayer services in the Abbey with the monks, and held 3 two-hour music rehearsals each day. There was socializing in the evenings. The outside temp was -13, but we could travel between the Guest House and the Abbey via an underground tunnel. The services with the monks were pretty spectacular - the Abbey is very contemporary in design, with great acoustics. The monks take their time with things; there are a lot of silent spaces in their worship. But after a time it becomes mesmerizing, and you do find yourself slowing down and becoming more in touch with the 'now.'
In better weather, there is swimming and hiking. The monks have many avenues to pursue vocations, including bread baking and furniture making. The University also commissioned a complete illuminated Bible, probably one of the first scribed on vellum since the Middle Ages. The artwork is contemporary and quite arresting; the whole project is very interesting.
All in all, it was a great escape and a most rewarding few days.

Greetings...
Yes, rumours of my disappearance were greatly exaggerated.
I have had some decent job leads and doing some writing. The writing seems to be a good escape and a good way to get the noisy characters out of my head. Sometimes they are downright NOISY! Men.. they are interesting crittters in a mind of a woman. :::: Shakes head ::::
I am hoping they pan out. I am thankful for the past year through a program that I was able to get my teeth fixed. It is nice to eat again and not have sinus infections continually. It has been a long eyar on that journey.
Perhaps Karma does exist. I know some of you are aware of the abuse me and other workers at the library went through. She was fired. The article in the Forum only touched the tip of the iceberg of what went on. Working with this person was like walking through a minefield getting grenades lobbed at you. She forced out through early retirement and intimidation and some instances tortured people mentally, fired, or took away the jobs of 30 people. Some took early retirement because of the abuse. She was a piece of work.

Well, it's time for me to go to the theater. This is the final tech week for "The House on Pooh Corner." It was a pretty good run-through yesterday, so it can only get better. Tonight, we actually have our stage manager (he was not available yesterday)!
Until later!
Breaka leg Vibes for George and Co
Thanks, Vixmom! Actually, we're going to need it. Our title character, Pooh (played by Chris), was out sick with a fever. And the woman who plays Early Rabbit wasn't there for the first act, so it was interesting. Otherwise, it's all going quite well.

The sound board running that I do went quite well, if I do say so myself. ;)

Greetings...
Yes, rumours of my disappearance were greatly exaggerated.
I have had some decent job leads and doing some writing. The writing seems to be a good escape and a good way to get the noisy characters out of my head. Sometimes they are downright NOISY! Men.. they are interesting crittters in a mind of a woman. :::: Shakes head ::::
I am hoping they pan out. I am thankful for the past year through a program that I was able to get my teeth fixed. It is nice to eat again and not have sinus infections continually. It has been a long eyar on that journey.
Perhaps Karma does exist. I know some of you are aware of the abuse me and other workers at the library went through. She was fired. The article in the Forum only touched the tip of the iceberg of what went on. Working with this person was like walking through a minefield getting grenades lobbed at you. She forced out through early retirement and intimidation and some instances tortured people mentally, fired, or took away the jobs of 30 people. Some took early retirement because of the abuse. She was a piece of work.

Congrats on the dental work and great news on the firing!! It's too bad that she's still being paid, though. That's not right. :P
-
I agree... I'm also annoyed by the fact that she is being paid.

Well, I'm sure that BK's show tonight went fabulously and can't wait to read about it, but I must get some sleep.
Good night.

Back from a wonderful show and then dinner. I now have to write some notes. I'm exhausted, but it's a good exhausted from a wonderfully productive day.
