And now that that lovely dinner has had time to settle, I must exercise! I too am trying to make changes in my diet and exercise, and good lord is it ever hard work.

I try telling myself that I really want to work on becoming healthier, but who am I kidding- I just want all of my pants to fit again!!

LOL! Amen to that. I am trying to avoid having to go out and buy some bigger clothes. Actually I need some new clothes, but not before I give a big chunk of my old ones to Goodwill.

Well, I'll at least be wearing something warm. We're rehearsing on the top floor of building that is right off the West Side Highway - right by the water. Lots of wind. Lots of "cooling". And every time they adjusted the thermostat in the room, the A/C would kick in. Of course, one of the vents was right above me... well, dead center on my right hand. It's very hard to play runs with chilled fingers.

Tell the MD you might need a heated keyboard!

Was there any way you could move out from underneath the vent?

I know...wear a cape....some blood red silk on the inside and something wildly exotic on the outside.

I went to Taco Del Mar for lunch today. They have punch cards. For every jumbo or super burrito that you buy, you can get your card punched (better than your face punched ) and when you have 10 punches, you get a free burrito...and Mondays are double-punch Monday, so you only need to buy five! Anyway, I had a completely punched card, so today I got my free burrito! It's a whole meal in itself.

I remember Taco Del Mar from when I lived in California. But I never took advantage of double punch Monday!

I've been slaving over a lyric - very difficult and I'm still only through the first verse and half the second verse. So, here's a little brainstorming session - The song is called The World of Tomorrow, sung by someone in the 1950s positing how the future will be - i.e. cars that fly, no more smog, no more flu, crime, war, etc. What other things would we have thought would be gone by now but are still with us?

No more poverty, no more sorrow.

No more sadness.

Polio, measles, chicken pox...all made an exit...and are now coming back.

No more crime? We certainly thought things were getting better...perhaps free energy? Housing for everyone.

No more VD?

Actually, the Eisenhower Republicans who were socially more tolerant and fiscally conservative are pretty much gone. They've been replaced by a totally new animal. My dad one of the former, feels lost in his own party. I told him he can always leave it!

Now I'm going to get some grief!

As for Ace, I read it on the board at IdolonFox that Ace had been one of the lowest vote-getters in the final selection for the men. I took it at face value, because the person writing seemed to know a lot about how everyone had fared each week leading up to the top 12.

The bottom line, though, is that he did not belong in that bottom three last night.

I remember Bucky/Gedeon being in the bottom. I think I remember Kevin there too. Don't remember Ace (doesn't mean it didn't happen). Maybe he was one of the lowest on the polls? Or some people seem to have access to those services that say who had the lowest (they seem to be accurate).

I thought Ace was favored to win by the oddsmakers. And on the polls i've seen he is one of the most popular (with chris, kellie, taylor, and katharine).

We were all cold. The string players were having to deal with the brunt of it. When we started rehearsal, the room was actually warm and sort of stuffy. But as the rehearsal progressed, it began to get cooler. So... During the breaks, we would open the doors in order to let the heat in from the hallways.

-But they did get the heat working properly by the end of the session.

Yes.

*And, actually, I'm glad I asked the concertmaster/contractor, Dale Stuckenbruck, where Carroll's was located. I seemed to remember it being somewhere closer to Times Square... Well, as I found out this morning, it did used to be located at 41st and 9th - and I believe I had a rehearsal or two there many years ago. And, actually, I believe the old building is no longer and a new one is going up in it's place.
