Well, you've read the notes, the notes were whole and also had a kit and a caboodle, and now it is time for you to post until the whole cows come home.

Good morning, all! The alarm did not fail me, and at 5:30am it rang, making mew wish I was dead. Because it was a night that I needed to get t sleep quickly, I had a night that was pretty much sleepless, although I do remember a portion of a dream in which my beloved Annalene Beechey was playing Prggy Ann and singing "Where's that Rainbow?" at the home of my Aunt Jean, who's been dead since 1975 or so.

So, I am up, dressed, and ready to head to Toyland to deal with this crew moving John McGlinn's possessions t the Library of Congress. Since there was no warning that today was the day, I need to separate my possessions from the McGlinnventory, something I could have easily done on Sunday, but it's one more situation the Man from Philadelphia has let be needlessly complicated.

More coffee and I am outa here. I'll check in from Toyland.

DR Jane do you swim with ear plugs?  I often cut ear plugs in half and use half an ear plug with a bathing cap when i swim. I don't like the feel of water in my ears.  Not sure what my niece will do in the future.  She's been swimming a lot and has never had this problem (it is very common). The swim meet should be interesting tonight especially the girls 8 and under relay (as my niece and the best swimmer won't be there).  so they will be down two girls. But i think they have 4 others who could potentially do alright.

New Moon in Leo coming up.....Mars enters Scorpio - As Mars sets a new course in intense Scorpio, you're now ready to hunker down and invest significant time and energy in your goals. Allow your passion to direct you, and don't let anything stop you. If you can harness the determination and power of this forceful sign, you'll accomplish more over the next couple months than you have in quite some time! Mars will remain in Scorpio until September 13.   :D

I got to Toyland by 7:15 and pulled a lot of things to be kept while I looked for the 2001recording scores, which i did not locate. I wll ask the LC to keep an eye out for them during the cataloging of the McGlinn estate.  Now that I am home, i am fighting the temptation to lie down and nap.

I have to say I was stunned by what I saw of the collection as I walked into the room for a quick look-see.  Stunned.  And all I was seeing was his collection of classical scores.  And not just any old scores, but all of the complete (or what looked like it could be complete) scholarly "critical" editions of Mozart, Schubert, etc., that I'd ever heard of, and more.  And probably hundreds of other various and sundry individual scores and books.  Operatic, symphonic, you name it.  I am feeling a bit faint just thinking about what was there on my drop-in three days ago, and now isn't.

Well, Billy Goldenberg has done some wonderful stuff, but he doesn't sell at ALL.  Same with John Morris.  So, certainly those.  And there are things that I would release that would have low sales IF they weren't expensive.

DR Elmore, how quickly does the Library of Congress get to the task of cataloging collections like this once it's all received?

I have no idea. It all depends on the importance of the person's collection.
Title: Re: THE WHOLE KIT AND CABOODLE
Post by: singdaw on July 23, 2014, 11:42:22 AM
And likely McGlinn didn't leave any money for the curating of the collection, which also probably has an impact.


Benny Goodman left all his papers to Yale, but refused to allocate any money to maintain the collection, so the cataloging had to be left for some graduate or PhD student to do, for free. Very short-sighted, if you ask me.

DR Jane do you swim with ear plugs?  I often cut ear plugs in half and use half an ear plug with a bathing cap when i swim. I don't like the feel of water in my ears.  Not sure what my niece will do in the future.  She's been swimming a lot and has never had this problem (it is very common). The swim meet should be interesting tonight especially the girls 8 and under relay (as my niece and the best swimmer won't be there).  so they will be down two girls. But i think they have 4 others who could potentially do alright.

I tried ear plugs for awhile and didn't like them.  Once I stopped doing the sidestroke I really didn't have a problem.  I also take breaks in the shallow end and tilt my head plus I dry my ears when I get out of the water & use a gentle hair dryer once I'm home.  Last week I used a bathing cap for long hair I & found it tolerable, however, more water got into my ears.  I will try your method of cutting the plugs in half.  You are referring to silicone plugs?

I looked them up.   They don't look too practical for hiking.  The poles my friend's use are like ski poles that can be dug into the ground.

A few people have the collapsible kind that can hook onto a carbine.  I would get one of those if they collapsed small enough for me to hang from my belt loop without hurting myself.

Talked to my folks. They are both fine. This is the first time in 59 years that they've ever been in an accident, so it never occurred to them that their insurance might cover a rental car. Hopefully they've found out by now.

Good news, DR John G!

I can understand using them for hiking, DR Jane. It just looks a little odd on a city sidewalk. But I guess it does help tone, and who am I to criticize people who are exercising at all? It's all good.

If people can walk around carrying firearms, what are a few walking sticks going to matter?

Today, a storm swept thru Washington making it the rainiest JUly 23 on record in Western Washington.  In Eastern Washington, the firefighters were pulled off of the fires this afternoon due to the high risk of flash flooding.  Still, the fires continue to spread.

New Moon in Leo coming up.....Mars enters Scorpio - As Mars sets a new course in intense Scorpio, you're now ready to hunker down and invest significant time and energy in your goals. Allow your passion to direct you, and don't let anything stop you. If you can harness the determination and power of this forceful sign, you'll accomplish more over the next couple months than you have in quite some time! Mars will remain in Scorpio until September 13.   :D

How does this impact someone with Scorpio as a rising sign?

DR Jane do you swim with ear plugs?  I often cut ear plugs in half and use half an ear plug with a bathing cap when i swim. I don't like the feel of water in my ears.  Not sure what my niece will do in the future.  She's been swimming a lot and has never had this problem (it is very common). The swim meet should be interesting tonight especially the girls 8 and under relay (as my niece and the best swimmer won't be there).  so they will be down two girls. But i think they have 4 others who could potentially do alright.

I tried ear plugs for awhile and didn't like them.  Once I stopped doing the sidestroke I really didn't have a problem.  I also take breaks in the shallow end and tilt my head plus I dry my ears when I get out of the water & use a gentle hair dryer once I'm home.  Last week I used a bathing cap for long hair I & found it tolerable, however, more water got into my ears.  I will try your method of cutting the plugs in half.  You are referring to silicone plugs?

I think they are foam ear plugs.

I decided to apply for a district court judge opening.  the job was just announced and apps aren't even due for a few weeks, but I decided to tell Edith so she could decide what she wanted to do. I assumed she'd wait to even look for something until we were farther along in the process. But  the next day she came in and told me she had a new job and wanted to cut back her hours with me to part time.  Wow. That was quick.  She also has a couple other people who want to interview her including another lawyer.   SO....changes are afoot.  It will either be both of us moving on to new and exciting things, or Edith moving on and changes for me.

I almost forgot...the reading went very well.  We had about a dozen people reading the script and people had some feedback.  The idea is to get everything together to perform the show at The Midnight Sun in December...harkening back to TAO's "alternative holiday fare" days when we did shows like "Cannibal!
