Well, you've read the notes, the notes were Bach-like, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently listening to the Toccata and Fugue in D MOOner.

And the word of the day is: AGLET!

Here's a game for today: Who will be the first to answer this question - when did we introduce the word of the day, and how many words have there been since that day?

Morning all.
That is all.

Movie of the Day

-
TOD:
I'm sure I couldn't even begin. So many composers. So many pieces.
I do have to say that I keep coming back to good old J.S. Bach, though. The B minor Mass, the Passions, the Cantatas, the organ works, the cello suites.

I think word of the day was already going on when i joined HHW in 2004
-
so I would say more than 3650 words of the day
-
Here's a game for today: Who will be the first to answer this question - when did we introduce the word of the day, and how many words have there been since that day?
I am a little "fertummelt". I know it's not "bissel".
-
Good Morning!
-
Good morning, all! Jo got herAmazon gift card, so that's something off my back. I did get to talk to Randy about the Ohio property last night, and I believe we may finally get the price lowered enough to sell.
I have physical therapy this morning at 11:00, so I'll leave here around 10:15. I am curious to see how things go at the Forsyth law offices today.
I do believe that is all the news this morning.
-
Good morning, all
Vibes for DR Mike.
-
TOD: a few include Mahler, Barber, Beethoven, Haydn and Sibelius. Pieces? Mahler's Symphony No. 1, Barber's Adagio for Strings, Vivaldi's works for bassoon.
-
Vibes for Mike.
Also financial vibes for Larry.
-
And the word of the day is: AGLET!
And The Song Of The Day Is: A SHINE ON YOUR SHOES

Good morning, all.
Got a busy day, and will be largely E&T. Health, money, and all other vibes to all!

financial vibes for Larry.
Vibe$ for Larry.

TOD:
Almost impossible to answer.
But for early music, I can say that J.S. Bach is by far my single favorite. I was cleaning a few records the other day, to sample and decide if I still wanted to keep them. I put on Wanda Landowska playing the Well-Tempered books, thinking I might not return to this one, and with the early recording sound limitations and all, it wowed me, as invariably happens with most anything of Bach's. (I should add that one thing I love about this big album is the tipped-in signature of the ar-teest. It's a beauty.
As for the rest of classical music, only the grossest of generalizations could be made, and they'd be useless. Such as this one: I suppose I'm partial to the late-Romantic/early 20th century period. You know, the big fancy stuff. (How's that for gross?) But then there's Mozart. And Mendelssohn. Pure magic.
-
I was searching for photographic evidence of this particular album, and came up empty. I should take one of my own.
It's amazing, though, to be reminded how RCA et al. were continually reissuing such classic recordings as this, in one configuration or another, with different artwork, etc. And people today complain all day and night about the "double dipping" by Warner Brothers on their Blu-rays. :)
-
Tuesday morning greetings! Lovely cool, sunny, dry weather here in SW Ohio today.
-
Good morning. It was 90 degrees, clear, and no breeze on the mountain today. The breeze makes all the difference. So I just went to the top and came back down.
-
DR Laura, which mountain is that? Do you climb the same one all the time? Not that I'll know it, but I'd enjoy looking at it on Google or Bing.
-
Page Two!
-
I regret to say I hardly ever went out to Arizona when I lived in California.
I did fly over with my flying club a couple of times.
If I had my L.A. years to do over, I'd do so many things differently it wouldn't even be funny.
-
Must leave now. I have a ton of stuff to do, and a rehearsal, so I'm probably not back till late tonight.
-
TOD: I love a lot of composers from the classical world. I can't say there's anyone I detest, either.
My favorite classical composition: "Enigma Variations" by Sir Edward Elgar.
-
I have yet to discover the first "Word of the Day"......so I guess I don't get the sparkling prize.
-
DR GEORGE you work too hard....we have toaster waffles here at Chez Jrand.
-
Continued vibes for DR CILLA LIZ......give it to spirit, and see who walks in the door.
-
Lots of good choices for the TOD.....I am enjoying reading the choices.
For me:
Tchaik - First Piano Concerto in B Flat Minor.....and most everything else of this composer
Orff - Carmina Burana
Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata
The Sherman Bros. - Tall Paul
-

Vibes For Good Results Wednesday

TOD
So Many Composers...So Much Music...So Little Time
-
I'm up - six hours of sleep - not really enough.
-
TOD: I'm pretty partial to dark, dramatic, brooding, and epic as far as my tastes in classical music go...which makes me a sucker for a lot of Russians, Scandavians, and the occasional German. I also like romantic sweep...Miklos Rozsa is my favourite classical composer (yes, we wrote other things beyond movie scores and several of his movie scores were based on his classical compositions). Composers I like: Rimsky-Korsokav, Mussorgsky(sp?), Ravel, Debussy (a lot), Stravinsky, Kachaturian, Copeland, Vaughn Williams, Walton, Dvorak...I listen to classical a lot when I'm writing or driving in the car. Hear lots of pieces I like, but don't remember who wrote them.
-
Anybody hear from Dan M in the last few days?
-
Forgot to include Borodin.
-
From all I can tell, the very first "word of the day" was "falafel".
-
That would have been 3,468 days ago.
-
Or, 495 weeks and 3 days ago.
-
I believe the date was January 29, 2005.
-
Good job! I would have thought it was before that, but then I can't remember when we actually began this board rather than the way we used to do it.
-
Still, next year will be ten years' worth of the word of the day.

DR Laura, which mountain is that? Do you climb the same one all the time? Not that I'll know it, but I'd enjoy looking at it on Google or Bing.
I usually climb South Mountain. Not a huge mountain, but enough of a mountain for an old gal like me.
-
Continued vibes for DR CILLA LIZ......give it to spirit, and see who walks in the door.
Thanks JRand. I felt really sad last night and just let myself be mad then sad and I'm feeling much better today. Edith gave her key and parking card to the building maintenance man to give to me. She didn't even come up to get her stuff. Of course she didn't mention to him that she already has a new job , just that we had a disagreement and she quit. At this point I really don't care. There is so much less chaos here with just Bob and I plugging away and getting our work done. I quite like it, actually.
I have put out the word I'm looking for someone part time. Not going to advertise, just sent it out via several grapevines. I have no doubt that things will be fine and better things are to come. I'm already feeling freer and more in charge of my own business.

I used to drive up South Mountain and lived in the Rancho Ladera Apartments just south of The Pointe at South Mountain

My favorite classical composition: "Enigma Variations" by Sir Edward Elgar.
The Elgar is high on my list, simply for the heartbreaking Nimrod variation.
-
Off to the Guthrie Theater tonight to dine (at the attached restaurant) and then see My Fair Lady. :)
Have fun! I hope it's not as lousy as the Guthrie's broadcast of HMS Pinafore! That was an atrocity.
-
And I am home from physical therapy and the post office.
DR slingshot, I see the dread Dowling, who destroyed Pinafore is directing but my old friend Jeff McCarthy is playing Higgins. I haven't see him since SIDE SHOW. And Melissa Hart, whom I saw in the national tour of CABARET around 1968, is playing Mrs Higgins!
-
Three!

Just read that James Shigeta has passed away. Gosh, I sure liked him.

R.I.P. James Shigeta. I was always a big fan.

Positive test results for DR Mike!

DR GEORGE you work too hard....we have toaster waffles here at Chez Jrand.
I don't think that that was discussed as an option for the movie night. It certainly would simplify things! I'll have to ask about it.

Me, too. My favorite version is the Sir John Barbirolli-conducted.

Good job! I would have thought it was before that, but then I can't remember when we actually began this board rather than the way we used to do it.
I went through Achives 1, 2 and 3....and checked the first few posts of each day until I found it. Of course, I skipped around until I went too far and then backtracked.
If you did any Words of the Day beyond your first few posts each day, I did not scan the posts to find them.
-
The first date of this here board was October 21, 2003 -- and the subject of the day was "If I Can Do It, You Can Do It".

From DR Cilla:
I'm just hurt by the way things happened and there isn't anything I can do about it.
Of course you do. You have been very good to her & she has left you in a difficult situation. Rant/whine all you want. :)

From DR Cilla:
I had to convince the local market to let me in just as they were closing. I was totally out of deodorant. I told them there are many people who would thank them tomorrow
:D

On your knee? I hope it wasn't too difficult.
GOOD NEWS VIBES!!!

When it comes to subtle, we're the first hogs to the trough.

I liked James Shigeta as well.....in Bridge to the Sun, Flower Drum Song, and especially Paradise Hawaiian Style.

I think I'm having a visit with Nick Redman at some point this afternoon.

It sounds like she is really pushing you away instead of dealing with the situation. Feelings of guilt will do that.
On the upside you have reached the point of fed-up.
I truly hope you become a judge.

So did I.

So after 50 years, last night I watched THE AMERICANIZATION OF EMILY.
I had seen so many UNFUNNY and USELESS Glenn Ford WWII "comedies" that I thought this was just another one of them......I didn't really pay attention to the fact that it was written by Paddy Chayefsky...which makes all the difference.
I enjoyed it very much.....some really great performances by James Garner, Julie Andrews, James Coburn, and Melvin Douglas....and a funny appearance by Steve Franken

I don't even remember Glen Ford in that movie. Probably because I saw it when it first came out.

Glenn wasn't but it was a good one. It was Garner's favorite of his films.
I listened to Garner read his autobiography while I was on the BBQ trail. Really enjoyed it.
-
Hello! Speaking of James Garner, I watched The Thrill of It All last night. It co-starred Doris Day, of course. And 56-year old expectant mother Arlene Francis.
-
TOD: Too many to name. Many I fell in love with through studying dance and others through musical devourings.
But the first one that comes to mind that I kept listening to over and over again as a kid was Prokoviev's PETER AND THE WOLF. Of course, I couldn't help but love the narration style of the wonderful Sterling Holloway as well. It seems storytelling always went with music from that point on.
-

Apparently, today is hacker day for our web host. All the sites he hosts that use wordpress have been inundated with people trying to hack into wordpress by using every combination of password they can - these people seriously need to just die. Quickly and with great pain. But we've been down twice - our folks are on it and blocking them as fast as they can.

I was enjoying the sound of the hard rain until I just heard a loud clap of thunder as I began typing. I think I will get off the computer and go unplug my Nook. My Nook does not like when it is charging and the power goes out.

Cilla, I'm very disappointed in Edith. I feel she owes you more loyalty than this! I hope it all works out in your favor.

Well, that mood is way over. Today was such a calm peaceful day. Bob and I both got so much work done. It feels like it did back when I first opened my office. I'm not even going to look for anyone for at least a couple weeks and maybe not until I know what is going to happen job wise. Lots of solo lawyers around here don't have an assistant or secretary.

I took Paul out for dinner tonight. He's been on a vegetarian kick. Tonight he had a blue cheese burger and fries and said he hasn't felt so good in ages, lol

I fixed a taco dinner for the 4 of us tonight and Mary Linda's been in the kitchen since we finished. She boiled eggs, made mayonnaise, and then made egg salad. Rob is napping until he has to be at work at midnight.

I am surprised many lawyers don't have an assistant. That is great if you don't need her anymore.

Started watching the DVD of "On a Clear Day ..." I haven't seen it in at least 20 years. I think this is one of those movies that I prefer the soundtrack to. Barbra's dubbing is waaay off during the opening number. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

The practice is so much different that the old days. With computers, electronic filing, electronic research etc. It's not that hard to do most of it on your own. I compose all my motions, briefs and letters on the computer, so I don't need someone to do all that for me. Edith did a lot of the forms for immigration, but they really aren't that hard to do. I'd have to put in more hours, but without an employee it saves a lot of money

A friend passed to this to me and apropos of nothing (or everything) I pass it on to you
The story of Schroedinger's cat (an epic poem)
May 7, 1982
Dear Cecil:
Cecil, you're my final hope
Of finding out the true Straight Dope
For I have been reading of Schroedinger's cat
But none of my cats are at all like that.
This unusual animal (so it is said)
Is simultaneously live and dead!
What I don't understand is just why he
Can't be one or other, unquestionably.
My future now hangs in between eigenstates.
In one I'm enlightened, the other I ain't.
If you understand, Cecil, then show me the way
And rescue my psyche from quantum decay.
But if this queer thing has perplexed even you,
Then I will and won't see you in Schroedinger's zoo.
— Randy F., Chicago
Cecil replies:
Schroedinger, Erwin! Professor of physics!
Wrote daring equations! Confounded his critics!
(Not bad, eh? Don't worry. This part of the verse
Starts off pretty good, but it gets a lot worse.)
Win saw that the theory that Newton'd invented
By Einstein's discov'ries had been badly dented.
What now? wailed his colleagues. Said Erwin, "Don't panic,
No grease monkey I, but a quantum mechanic.
Consider electrons. Now, these teeny articles
Are sometimes like waves, and then sometimes like particles.
If that's not confusing, the nuclear dance
Of electrons and suchlike is governed by chance!
No sweat, though — my theory permits us to judge
Where some of 'em is and the rest of 'em was."
Not everyone bought this. It threatened to wreck
The comforting linkage of cause and effect.
E'en Einstein had doubts, and so Schroedinger tried
To tell him what quantum mechanics implied.
Said Win to Al, "Brother, suppose we've a cat,
And inside a tube we have put that cat at —
Along with a solitaire deck and some Fritos,
A bottle of Night Train, a couple mosquitoes
(Or something else rhyming) and, oh, if you got 'em,
One vial prussic acid, one decaying ottom
Or atom — whatever — but when it emits,
A trigger device blasts the vial into bits
Which snuffs our poor kitty. The odds of this crime
Are 50 to 50 per hour each time.
The cylinder's sealed. The hour's passed away. Is
Our pussy still purring — or pushing up daisies?
Now, you'd say the cat either lives or it don't
But quantum mechanics is stubborn and won't.
Statistically speaking, the cat (goes the joke),
Is half a cat breathing and half a cat croaked.
To some this may seem a ridiculous split,
But quantum mechanics must answer, "Tough shit.
We may not know much, but one thing's fo' sho':
There's things in the cosmos that we cannot know.
Shine light on electrons — you'll cause them to swerve.
The act of observing disturbs the observed —
Which ruins your test. But then if there's no testing
To see if a particle's moving or resting
Why try to conjecture? Pure useless endeavor!
We know probability — certainty, never.'
The effect of this notion? I very much fear
'Twill make doubtful all things that were formerly clear.
Till soon the cat doctors will say in reports,
"We've just flipped a coin and we've learned he's a corpse."'
So saith Herr Erwin. Quoth Albert, "You're nuts.
God doesn't play dice with the universe, putz.
I'll prove it!" he said, and the Lord knows he tried —
In vain — until fin'ly he more or less died.
Win spoke at the funeral: "Listen, dear friends,
Sweet Al was my buddy. I must make amends.

From DR Cilla:
I'm just hurt by the way things happened and there isn't anything I can do about it.
Of course you do. You have been very good to her & she has left you in a difficult situation. Rant/whine all you want. :)
Well, that mood is way over. Today was such a calm peaceful day. Bob and I both got so much work done. It feels like it did back when I first opened my office. I'm not even going to look for anyone for at least a couple weeks and maybe not until I know what is going to happen job wise. Lots of solo lawyers around here don't have an assistant or secretary.
I am surprised many lawyers don't have an assistant. That is great if you don't need her anymore.
The practice is so much different that the old days. With computers, electronic filing, electronic research etc. It's not that hard to do most of it on your own. I compose all my motions, briefs and letters on the computer, so I don't need someone to do all that for me. Edith did a lot of the forms for immigration, but they really aren't that hard to do. I'd have to put in more hours, but without an employee it saves a lot of money
are you fluent enough in Spanish now to interview clients without translation assistance?

I have a question - if you have cases that have not yet been resolved prior to you being appointed a judge, do you refer the client out to another attorney or are you required to complete the case?
-
actually it seems I had two questions

Well, it's time for me to leave work. Tomorrow, I have a meeting at 9:00 am! I HATE early morning meetings, but it's with one of our out-of-state vendor reps and she has other places to go during the day, and that was the time that she had for us. So, the meeting is early.
Anyway, be back later.

I fixed a taco dinner for the 4 of us tonight and Mary Linda's been in the kitchen since we finished. She boiled eggs, made mayonnaise, and then made egg salad. Rob is napping until he has to be at work at midnight.
I have been craving an egg salad sandwich, but I will settle for Best Foods.

Finished with my viewing and have begun the Stravinsky Columbia collection - so far I've listened to The Rite of Spring and am now doing The Firebird.

My Fair Lady was gorgeous. Lavish physical production. The actors were very good, although Eliza didn't quite have the legit voice to pull off that part of the role. Both of DR elmore3003's friends were excellent. The orchestra (9 pieces) sounded fine, if a bit thin. The Guthrie complex (they've been in about 10 years now, I believe) is something else. They are running Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike in the other theatre.

I hope the transcript is not available in Braille. Or esperanto.

Good night, all.

You know, that's a funny thing. I've always used Edith to translate and she laughed at me when I told her I could speak Spanish. Today I probably had 3 or 4 conversations in Spanish with no problem. I have had clients from 33 different countries and have figured out ways to speak to them, so I'm not too concerned about it. I'll figure it out. I have put the word out for a part time bilingual receptionist but unless someone walks in the door, I'm not actively looking for a couple weeks. My brother has a secretary who is bilingual. If it's an emergency, I can get her on the speaker phone

9 piece orchestra for MY FAIR LADY? That is beyond thin.

I think I must just take 2 months off...
I will have to stay with John G for a week to eat
then spend a week with Laura to hike off all the weight I will have gained at John's
Next to Singdaw's for a week of music and theatre
and then to the west coast to see BK ,Jeanne, Jane, TCB, George and Mike
actually I will need another couple of weeks cause I'll have to stop and see JRand and Ginny along the way as well
-
I have a question - if you have cases that have not yet been resolved prior to you being appointed a judge, do you refer the client out to another attorney or are you required to complete the case?
I would do my best to resolve the cases, but some of them would not be resolved. For those cases I would refund any remaining retainer and give the client a list of referrals to find a new attorney. Court appointed cases would get a new court appointed attorney.
-
Chas, I have you down as my driver - since you have apparently lived everywhere and will know how to get from here to there and back again

OK I was wondering. I have only ever worked in real estate law so I wasn't sure how it would work.

With the kind of work I do, it would be the immigration clients who would have to find a new lawyer. Since those cases take years, it's not uncommon for someone to have more than one lawyer over time. It wouldn't be a big deal it's just time consuming. And you have to handle it carefully so that people don't get too upset. Making sure clients have their files etc.

My neighbors are having a big garage sale on Saturday and have invited me to bring whatever I want to sell. I'm looking forward to it. I have a number of things to try to sell. They are pros at it...sell antiques and at flea markets so they'll help me price things etc it could be a lot of fun.
-
But now, I think I better get some sleep.

Vixmom, when you stop to see Laura, please check in on Dan.

I must admit to a lot of ignorance re Stravinsky - other than the two warhorses I just don't know much of his oeuvre. I'm listening to the Symphony of Psalms right now, and then Symphony in C. I must say, his own readings of Rite of Spring and Firebird are not my favorites. In fact, my favorite Firebird is Ormandy although that isn't on CD. Say what? I thought because, like The Moldau, that the version I first heard was mono that it, too, was not on CD and yet I just found it on an import CD and purchased it. A shame that they didn't also put out The Moldau.
-
ok it is just about 1 in the AM so I better get me to bed I have to be up in 6 hours
-
good night!!
-
I'm really enjoying the Symphony of Psalms.

BK, are there any classical recordings like these that Kritzerland could re-release? That would be cool. Of course, hopefully, people would want them.
-
There's no money in classical - although if Sony were easy to license from and reasonable, there are a handful of things I'd do.
