And, I'm back on my computer! Maybe this latest fix will also remedy the wonkiness of the wireless connection here at my desk...

Well the flute lessons were a great idea. The problem is between taking care of the cats and the house, running a business, practicing for band and sleeping and eating I really don't have the time to practice the way I would need to in order to work the way she wanted me to. I pretty much decided yesterday it just isn't going to work. I talked to her today. She volunteered to go to every other week (which she refused to do last week), but I told her we should just stop so she can fill the time slot with someone who can be there.

The other thing is, it was already becoming work and I was already feeling guilty because I didn't have time to practice as I needed to. I want to play for fun. I decided I'd rather be one of the old timers in the lower half of the section playing for fun and having a good time, than having it become work.

I'm not surprised, only that you came to this decision so quickly. Fun is your priority here.

I guess I am now officially "RETIRED." My former unit and some other former coworkers took me down to the waterffront for my going away lunch. I received my offical letter from Governor Gregoire thanking me for my 28 years of service; plus another letter from our former Under-Secretary of Children's Services, who has now returned to her home state of Wisconsin (it was probably her last official act before fleeing the state). I also received a very nice plaque for my 28 years.

They took you to the waterfront and didn't throw you off the pier? Some people have better self control, I guess.

My wheelchair has a flotation devce under the seat. Or maybe that is a porta-potty?

DR Cillaliz - I think you made a very wise decision.

Good Evening!

Greetings from Memphis!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #217 on:** February 02, 2012, 07:37:39 PM »

It's been a good day. It's been a long day. And since I have about 180 auditions to play for tomorrow...

DR TCB - Congratulations OFFICIALLY on your retirement!

DR Jennifer - Why don't you make a cheesecake recipe you've already "tried"?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #220 on:** February 02, 2012, 07:42:10 PM »

As for springform pans and cheesecakes...

After reading Nick Malgieri's book on cakes a few years ago, I just started making my cheesecakes in extra-deep cake pans - which, as it turns out, are called "cheesecake pans". If you cook and cool them far enough in advance, it's very easy to turn them out - and you don't ha to worry about water seeping into the (springform pan).

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #221 on:** February 02, 2012, 07:43:40 PM »

DR Jennifer (part deux) - One option is to make a big plain cheesecake, then serve it with various fruit and toppings (chocolate sauce, caramel, etc.) for your guests to spoon over themselves.

Well that's about an hour of my life I will never get back.

HOWEVER.....it was not as awful as it could have been. And I will agree with DR JOSE that the original music was actually enjoyable.

I may watch it now and then......but McPhee is a weak link....especially when compared to Hilty who is a big WOW!!! McPhee is stuck with her American Idol type singing which doesn't do it for me.

DR RLP - she can't act, she isn't pretty, she can't deliver lines with any conviction, and her hair has a life of its own. She is not as bad in SMASH as she has been - or can be - but she isn't convincing to me.....and I wonder if it's her character choice or Messing who pronounces the word theatre as "thee-ter......"

DR JOSE - are they pronouncing Michael Reidel's name correctly? I am assuming they are.....

DR JRand - Good to hear that you didn't gouge out your eyes and ears.

-I've seen parts of ten second and third episodes, and I believe Miss McPhee's "low wattage" in the pilot is on purpose.
-Yes, they are pronouncing Michael Riedel's name correctly. He pops up from time to time on Twitter with some great tidbits - @MichaelRiedelNY.
-I'm wondering how Ms. Messing's current marital status will get played out in the press - if it does - once they introduce Will Chase's character.

Has anybody seen that video feature on Playbill.com on Elaine Stritch?

I've been up since about eight-thirty. Had a very long and interesting telephonic call at that time that looks like it may result in quite a few exciting Kritzerland releases. I've got all digits crossed because this would be a VERY good thing.

~~~~~VERY GOOD THING VIBES FOR BK AND KRITZERLAND~~~~~

Saw "Shame" tonight. It's like the uglier side of "Company" with a character less likable than Bobby Baby.

The nudity apparently got to one couple who got up and left about 10-15 minutes before the end. That was OK, because it got a lot more graphic after that.

Thank you, Jose, Cillaliz, Kevin, and TCB for the birthday greetings.
Loved your card, TCB, and congrats on retirement!

DR Iris · « **Reply #230 on:** February 02, 2012, 11:45:44 PM »

Oh, and Jose, there is a good restaurant in Memphis with a fabulous name.
Restaurant Iris. It would have been remiss of me not to share that info.
You probably know about it already, as you are the knower of such things.
But if you do manage to dine there, I would love to hear what it's like!

I am seriously exhausted. The why will be in the notes.
