I also love my AAA membership...to date, I have never had to change a flat tire myself. And for that, I am grateful!

I, too, feel much safer on the road with my AAA.
While I always have my AAA card on me, I sometimes (seldom, but it happens) leave my cell phone behind. That is when I feel something will happen and I'll have no easy way to call them.
Congrats to DR SINGDAW on his millstone.
I'm up, I'm up. Fell asleep around one-fifteen, up at three-fifteen, back asleep at five-thirty and up at nine thanks to someone from the film crew shooting at the usual house down the street - NINE o'clock in the morning asking if he can pay me and serve lunch to the cast and crew on the front lawn. I said absolutely not.

did you know that the reason why she posed this way for this iconic photo is that she was very pregnant
Has anyone here been to Vienna? If so, what was the best/worst thing about it?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JASON GRAAE!

Probably too many more to mention for original orchestrations. Can't think of too many re-orchestrated pieces I like, usually because the size of the orchestra has been reduced, rather than enhanced.
Good morning, all! I have very little to report.
I have to be at Trinity Church today by 10:30 so we can run the concert and I can hear the singers on mike with the piano for balance. It's going to be good. Patricia Noonan, our soprano, is a beautiful brunette with a wonderful voice; I've known our soubrette Meggie Cansler since FINIAN'S RAINBOW, and I love her; she makes me laugh; our tenor, Michael Marcotte, is one of our ROBERTA Collegians and he makes me laugh; and Arlo Hill, our baritone, just won the Lotte Lenya Competition, and he's fantastic, just excellent. It's been such fun working with all of them.
After that, I want to work on my notes for George Gershwin's PRIMROSE, his 1924 London show we're presenting next week. Meggie and Michael will be back for that, with Sara Jean Ford, who's on the Victor Herbert Collected Songs, Weston Wells Olson who's currently in LES MIZ, and Tim McDevitt, another one of the ROBERTA Collegians, and a fantastic baritone.
DR ChasSmith, I'm sorry I will not see you today or next week.
Have you all seen the fantastic video of the cat rescuing a 4-year-old boy from attack by a dog? They just showed the video on this morning's news. The cat's actions are amazing; the boy needed 10 stitches, so he couls hae been really mauled if the family's cat hadn't rescued him.
I'm nervous as I'm having a little procedure done on my toe today. I have an ingrown toenail, the result of not being able to reach my toes after my shoulder surgery. It is odd how a shoulder injury caused so many little problems with my feet when I couldn't take proper care of them.
I hope I don't regret doing this. I expect most people wait until the pain is greater than mine or there are more issues. I am walking slower on the treadmill and not jogging. To me that is a big problem.
and up at nine thanks to someone from the film crew shooting at the usual house down the street - NINE o'clock in the morning asking if he can pay me and serve lunch to the cast and crew on the front lawn. I said absolutely not.
DR ELMORE what does sheep's eye and licorice tooth mean?
It's a stupid commercial they're shooting - it's the same production company every week - like there's only one house in one neighborhood at which to shoot. I HATE these people. And yes, they've parked where they shouldn't, once again. Since I'm gone in a half hour I don't care.
Back from seeing Tina, who finally cut my hair the way I want it in the back :D
Vibes for Jane for the procedure.

~~~Quick and Easy Procedure Vibes for Jane!!~~~
DR Jane, it is probably good that you are not waiting to have the procedure done. No sense it letting it get worse.
DR Cillaliz - sorry about the prep and procedure, but it will be good to have it done. My DH has the same procedure tomorrow morning; I am helping him with the prep right now.
~ ~ ~ VIBES OF COMFORT ~ ~ ~ to you!!
DR Jane - I am doing slightly better today; thank you.

I report in at 6:30, procedure at 7:30 AM when is his? lol
when is his?
I think the concert went very well; it was recorded and is up on the Church's website:

We are the Concerts at One for 5/15.
I can be seen sitting on the right about four rows from the front.

Why is this house so popular?
Elmore, am enjoying listening to the concert. Is that you in the 4th row on the aisle?
And here's Larry in the audience!
Great concert, Larry. I really enjoyed it
And I'm that way about the cell phone, too. I was a late-adopter of cell phones (I got my first one a few months after 9/11), and I really use them mostly for utility purposes and essentials -- getting and making necessary calls, the occasional necessary text, and having my email with me. Of course I do a few other things -- sometimes keep up with HHW and HTF, etc. -- but even though I don't live on it all day and night like the Young People do, I never want to be without it. It really is essential these days. Another new procedure after yesterday's incident is to use the damned belt clip and likewise keep the phone on my person when out and about. ESPECIALLY when out and about in foreign lands such as beautiful downtown Carlisle, PA. :)

Craig and Keith now feel bad they wouldn't take me to Vienna when we were 45 minutes away.
Stange dreams this morning. I woke up at 8, but decded to go back to sleep. My very first dream was me picking up a mug of hot coffee and then losing my grip and dropping the mug in my lap (which of course was in bed). I jumped myself awake and I scared the Hell out of Nicky!
Then later, I was attending (or was in) a production of GUYS AND DOLLS. I assume it was Jack's production. The entire dream revolved around my confusion over the new song in the score. "If That's A New Hourglass, Then Your Time Is Running Out."
OMG. Dreams.
I'm not making this up:
The dream I remember from last night involved one of those electric sandwich-grilling devices, and seeing vixmom's face on the slices of bread I'd put into it along with a few odds and ends ingredients I was using up. It was like vixmom was the spokesperson for the device, and this was a commercial. Sort of.
Do we file this one under "religion"? Or "erosion of sanity"??
I've had that dream, too!!!

I'm starting my prep for tomorrow morning's colonoscopy. While I'm not excited about doing the prep and the procedure, I really needed the extra day and a half off from work
Leaving for rehearsal.
DR TCB you are supposed to be there at 7 p.m. and I hope to hell you know the lyrics better tonight than you did last night.
DR ELMORE what does sheep's eye and licorice tooth mean?
As if I don't already have problems, my coffee maker is on the fritz. Not that it's a problem like my others, but after all we're tawkin' cawfee. Cawfee tawk topic: Do you like the cut of my jib? And, is a jib a good thing to cut, or does it necessitate anaesthesia or some numbing agent, perchance?

Went for a checkup last night and walked out with a fistful of referrals,,, seems she frowns on being 7 years overdue for a mammogram and 7 years overdue for a colonoscopy... so to punish me she threw in a pap, a sonogram and a bone density test to boot
::)

Well, I must be off. I'm going to see (not usher!) Yesterday and Today: the Interactive Beatles Experience (http://wcpa.squarespace.com/upcoming-events/2014/5/15/yesterday-and-today-the-interactive-beatles-experience.html). My friend Margo and I usually usher, but the Center has started keeping track of the hours that we volunteer and if we get 40+ hours in a season, we get a certificate for two half-price tickets to any performance of a select list of Washington Center sponsored events. If we volunteer for 60+ hours, we get those plus a free ticket and a half-price ticket, and if we get 80+ hours, we ALSO get two free tickets. Well, Margo and I both have over 80 hours in, so both of us are using our three, count 'em, THREE free tickets each! Even though the 60+ level is a free ticket and a half-price ticket, we don't actually need to buy the half-price ticket to use the free ticket, so we're not. Anyway, tonight I'm a sit-down patron for probably only the second or third time in as many years. :D
Be back later!

Well I've been seeing my oncologist every 6 months for the past 5 years with a couple of PET scans thrown in there so I figured if anything popped up somebody would have noticed

Sure, if it had spread from these other places. The tests are to catch it early, or in the case of a colonoscopy before it becomes cancer.
Do I remember correctly that you had chemo? Have you had a bone test to make sure there wasn't damage from the chemo?
