Great news, DR elmore3003.  May your day continue to improve.

Did you ever cross paths with Charles Eubanks?  He's a friend of mine who retired within the past year from the Lincoln Center branch of the NYPL.

I likeCharles Eubanks a lot and I miss him in the Music Division!  He was so helpful in locating uncataloged Comden & Green songs when I had to recreate the Overture for "Two on the Aisle" for  a Jule Styne overtures compilation.

It was Matt H!  I kept looking for a photo that might have caused it and couldn't find one.

Thank you all, DRs, for the kind thoughts.  I didn't have a real reaction to my mother's death until several months after she was gone, but I truly miss my father, both for his kindness and his eccentricities, like not wearing his hearing aid and walking around deaf as a post, which caused him to respond strangely to things he misheard.  He was traveling about four years ago with the Macbeths and Lady M asked him when was the last time he went on a plane, and he replied "oh, she went down in the Pacific and they never found her (Amelia Earhart)." I miss his malaprops, like "oldtimers" for Alzheimers or "oxiekin" for oxygen.  As a naval aircraft carrier welder in WW2, he loved to visit New York and walk about the Intrepid which is docked on the Hudson. He always called it "the Interpret."

When we thought he was dying in ICU last June, I looked at him and thought, ohmigod, he's turning into Elmer Fudd.  I miss his optimism about beating the cancer and living to 90 and his courage in having laser eye surgery last fall to correct his vision.  When I took him last year to renew his driver's license at 85, he looked at the expiration date of 2009, and said "we have to come back in three years."

Oops! Sorry for the widescreen link. It didn't put me into widescreen, so I wasn't aware that it had done that. Otherwise, I would have changed it.

That's  OK, DR Matt H.  I really blame Jose.

Thanks for the link.  I have to see if I may be missing anything I need to add to the clutter of this apartment.

On that note ( I will leave the music jokes to the musicians) I run to my math class!

OHOH! I get to present my scene today. It is only supposed to be a firstreading type of thing, but my partner and I have been practicing behind the teachers back so we don't look unprepared. I am mostly happy with my scene parter, although I am having to break him of doing the whispery dramatic voice he has seen so often in movies these days ( he admitted he was mimicking movie actors! ).

TOD:
Many years ago there was a hypnotist named Pat Collins who had a nightclub act on Sunset Blvd--the Hip Hypnotist. I had gone to it several times and it was a riot. One girl was told to sing a song about broccoli. She did--and was great!

I was about to return to school full-time after a long absence and felt I needed to really concentrate and make very good use of my time, so I took Pat Collins' class on self-hypnosis. I found the technique very helpful for getting into a relaxed state--and yes, even fifteen or twenty minutes is like getting an extra hour or more of sleep. Then a friend took the class. She, too, found it helpful. She had a problem with a contractor who hadn't installed something properly and was dreading having to deal with the guy. She used the techniques she'd learned to practice what she wanted to say to him. It worked beautifully and all was resolved to her satisfaction.

When DR Cillaliz returns, I'll have to ask her if she remembers Sam Meranto, Sam Meranto, that's Sam Meranto.

I didn't experience CINERAMA, either.  Can that be the case - that some DRs do, and some don't?

huzzah! I will keep that in mind.

I am now 20 mins late in my travel time, but it is ok because I happen to know my teacher is 30 mins late in his. ( he was decent enough to tell us.)

I think it depends on which browser you're using. I have two open at work. Even though I can use tabbed browsing in Firefox, some pages still don't work well with that browser so I use both IE and Firefox. In IE the page was fine but in Firefox it was Cinerama City!!!
