DR Dan M - I am thrilled at your news about going back to school!! :)
Congratulations and all good wishes.
I hope you'll keep us updated from time to time about your experiences and how it is going.
Creative is always good.
I did use Brylcreem when I was in grade school and junior high.....believe it or not, I used to have lots of hair.
Good morning, all.
I think it's safe to say the worst is over, last night having been that very worst what with feeling slightly feverish and all. But that broke in the middle of the night, and it's such a wonderful thing to recognize that you've just turned the corner.
DR Elmore, since they're so fond of your arrangements I'm sure the Cincinnati chorus will now want to meet you in person!

And....?
And the word of the day is: CRURAL!
oh that makes me crazy! or he takes it with him but doesn't turn it on- my Mom does that as well
the Vixter is tired of hearing me yell, "It's the blasted communication age! Why can't I ever get anyone to answer the phone!?!"
Took this blurry shot with my phone on this morning's dog walk. This must be why my neighborhood is known as Cathedral Hill:
Glad to hear that DRs ChasSmith and Dan M are both feeling better.
I am off to Toyland!
Nice photo DR ELMORE.....
Once when I was almost late for school, and before I got my glasses in the 8th grade.....I brushed my teeth with Brylcreem......it was NOT pleasant.
DR Jennifer: Regarding your question of several days ago, "Yes! Even Evgeny Plushenko should not have been skating in the Olympics." He did not EARN a spot. And to make it all worse, he withdrew after the team competition and Russia had ZERO skaters in the men's figure skating competition. Russians were plenty mad about that, too.
SUPER VIBES FOR DR DAN!!!
When will you know if you are returning to work?

I was perusing the University of Arizona's employment opportunities and found a listing posted by the woman who is in charge of benefits (and who knows all about my illness and leave). The listing ends on February 28, so I decided yesterday that I would update and spruce up my resume and letter of interest. By midnight last night, I was ready to upload to the job posting and I'm guessing that sometime by the end of this month I will be contacted. From what I know of HR practices, if I am selected for an interview, that would occur at the beginning of March. There are 2 other listings for which I may apply. However, now that I am back in the mix, even if this particular job posting should not pan out, my resume and information is current on the HR website, and 99% of the HR people know me or know of me, so there may be other opportunities I don't know about at this time.
However, if BK should require my services, I would gladly work for him and relocate to Cal. I'm always ready for new careers and learning new things. I am at the point now that I am very happy to be here because last year at this time, my future looked pretty dim.
I am off to Toyland!
Funny response to DR Ginny's question ;)

Back from a patty melt and no fries or onion rings. Work session in forty minutes, followed by a Wechter visit.

I'm up, I'm up - guess I needed to sleep late, because I did.
Good morning, all! I slept well, with one long dream about the show MATILDA, which I have no urge to see and God alone knows why I dreamed about that! Earlier, I had an unsettling nightmare; i remember waking around 1:30, alarmed and happy to be awake.
Today, I will head down to Toyland around 9:30 or so, I have a rehearsal with ur leading man, the actress playing his bitch fiancee, and the actor playing the other man. We should be finished around 3:00, and I will head back uptown.
I got this email yesterday from the incinnati Men's Chorus conductor about the choral piece I arranged:
The arrangement sounds FABULOUS!!! The guys just love singing it and the nicest thing is that the voicing is smooth and well-written. You would be amazed and saddened by the lack of quality writing for men's chorus lately; few people know how to write well with good voice-leading and interesting yet not-too-complicated harmonies. We just read it last week and, after working through all three sections, the guys wanted to sing it through AGAIN!
I guess they're happy. I have to get some work on the orchestration this morning. I'd like to post it by Friday.
More coffee!

I'm sorry for everyone suffering from the cold. Here, it's in the 80s:

You may already know this, but Patty Melt was one of the very few failed characters by Peanuts creator Schulz, aside from Dust Bin. Manila Folder was the absolute nadir of the entire series, when there was an attempt to enter the Pacific Rim market.

By the way, you know that both Zsa Zsa and Charo are on Pee Wee's Christmas Spectacular? It's the greatest of all Christmas specials. Grace Jones, Magic Johnson, Little Richard, k.d. lang, Frankie and Annette, Oprah and Dinah Shore are a few of the other special guests.
Had a good work session and now waiting for David Wechter.

I occasionally will use hairspray that is non-scented. I like the ones that don't make your hair sticky.
I remember once trying something from a favorite brand at Sephora. And I thought I was going to die. I had to come right home and wash it out because it was making me sick.
Here was my view:
Good evening. Today I went hiking in the Superstition Mountains. When I got up to the saddle, here was my view:

And....?
Who's paying for it? I have no money these days, as everyone on HHW is well aware from my pissing and moaning. Also, I'm not particularly enamored of seeing either of my siblings since they're the major hurdle of selling that Ohio property, and I may only be back when I sue them. I'm seriously thinking about it. Maybe I can give the Macbeths a stroke!

Saw the new Texas Monthly at the store tonight. First byline in it. The store is little more than a series of captions on noodle soups across the state and I share it with four other people. But it's still a thrill.

"I'll be back when I sue them" That's the title of my next book
Remember that photo of St. Paul Cathedral that I posted early this morning? Well, the cathedral grounds are now the site of great construction for "Crashed Ice." Think of it as speed skating on a luge track. This utterly insane local phenomenon starts this weekend.
Here is a video recap from last year's event:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-Yf7Wq3hRI
Pine Bros! I'd forgotten about those, but I remember them now. Must get some.
One thing on Castrecl that I was directed to recently was the Berkshire Record Outlet, which sells classical music, jazz and the like at deeply discounted prices. Got my first order today at it included the TV version of Dearest Enemy, Dolores Gray on the Bell Telephone Hour with that great number, Are You Ready, Gyp Watson from Destry.
Now, if I only had time to watch them.
Pine Bros, the cough drops I have always preferred disappeared a number of years ago. Recently I went to the drug store and saw them for sale. They are under new ownership, have been repackaged and are back in the States. They have been around since 1870. The downside is I am eating them like candy. They are chewy like large Jujubes.
Lots of little things to do today.
How was that pie, Matthew?

Me,too! I hated it.
I have a sore throat and the ENDING of a cough, so I will miss the Dancing With The Stars rehearsal this evening.....

I got a small bit of mac-and-cheese, a couple of drumettes (something new for Gelson's) and some Super Chinese Slaw. Watched more of The Eddy Duchin Story, and am now just relaxing.
