Thursday morning greetings!  My morning started an hour earlier than usual, with a lovely breakfast meeting on the 29th floor of Dayton's tallest building.  That means that my workday will end an hour earlier than usual, too :D

TOD:  A Quiet Thing is not only my favorite Kander and Ebb song, it might just be my favorite all-time song.  That's because it expresses my life philosophy almost perfectly, along with the Jones and Schmidt They Were You, a Calvin and Hobbes strip that I keep on the refrigerator, and a poster that used to hang in my apartment that said, "Happiness is like a butterfly - if you chase it, it will elude you; but if you sit quietly, it will alight upon your shoulder."

On short trips, I would really rather drive.

So would I, DR DearReaderLaura, so would I.  In fact, in putting together our October trip to NYC, DH Richard and I have wished there were someplace driveable where we could safely leave our car and take the train into the city.  Alas, that would make a 1/2 day trip into 2 days, so we're flying.

TPunk -- I saw that on the news this morning. Several days from now I have to fly to Pasadena for a meeting. Everything I need is in a medium-sized purse and my computer case. I hope it is all resolved by then, because I really don't want to have to check my purse.

I'm carrying on my purse/bag but we're checking our bigger bags.  In London folks aren't being allowed to take on anything other than a wallet- no electronic devices, nada.  I did do a sweep of my bag with my co-workers and we had a debate about whether or not my lip gloss constituted a liquid.  We decided that it belonged in my bigger suitcase since I didn't want to chance having to throw it out.  Because if I threw out my lipgloss, that would be letting the terrorists win.  ::)

Another sweet irony- until early last week, our plan was to drive.

Yes, I am pleased that this was caught before rather than after.  

I can however, picture us flying naked stripped of all our possessions in about a year or two's time.

Did anyone watch SYTYCD last night?  My thoughts and musings below:


















I think this is Travis's competition to win.  I enjoy all of the other finalists, but Travis stepped up to the plate this week.  Not only is he as Nigel said, the best technical dancer on the show, but this week he really amped up his performance and charisma.

Also Rodzinski and I thought the broadway number for the girls sucked big time.  They were given a dud, totally unfair for it to be a number in the finals.  The choreography and the costumes got a thumbs down from us.

New York City area Hainsies and Kimlets:
 I must announce that my band, THE BAND THAT SAVED YOUR LIFE, will be playing on Tuesday, August 15 in Hell's Kitchen. Yes, we have not played in well over a  year, but we have dusted off our routine of some of the more forgotten mellow tunes of the 70s, some you'd just like to forget, and a few other oddities for public consumption.

I am the lead singer, and 'Funky Garrison Keillor' of this outfit, so I will do my part to create a good time for all.

The time: 8pm
The place: Rufus, located at 640 10th Ave. between 45th and 46th Streets.

This is in support of The Milk Can Theater Company, and they will have drink specials and a 50/50 raffle and other such folderol. So there will be a cover fee, but it is for a genuine cause.

Traveling vibes for DRs TPunk and Rodzinski - how much earlier do you have to leave for the airport than usual?  The way I first heard about the foiled plot was hearing the radio traffic reporter telling people to allow extra time if they were going to the Cincinnati airport this morning.

Flying into Detroit.

We're just going to check our bags and hope for the best!

Yes of course i watched SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE.

.
.
.







I really think that benji will win.

Personally i would like benji, heidi or travis to win. I would be happy with any of them. But my choices would be heidi first, then benji then travis.

I find donyelle has been a huge letdown. She was so good in the first few weeks. But as i watched the show last night I was wishing that allison was the second girl.

My favorite performances were:
1.benji/heidi salsa
2.benji/travis nerd hiphop
3.Heidi/travis disco.

I really think that benji is the most popular, probably followed by travis and then heidi. But for some reason i really think benji is going to win. He seems to have so many fans.

I wish the show could go on for another week. I am wondering if they will eliminate one (or two) people in the first hour of next week's show. Or will all 4 make it to the end?

I really loved heidi and travis' chemistry. Same with heidi and benji (but they have been dancing longer).

Anyhow i think this year's version is much better than last year. And i actually would consider going to see the tour if it came here (which i know it won't).

As a big fan and supportor of THE BAND THAT SAVED YOUR LIFE (even though I have never seen nor heard them) I am disappointed that I will not get to see them perform!  :(

Rodzinski, if we were on the same flight, I'm sure that I would enjoy it much, much, much (that's three muches) more than you would! :o

That depends on who you're sitting next to, doesn't it?

I should see about catching my daily nap.  Lacking der Grampa, who left a few hours ago for Cub Camp, the dogs are starting to pest for some quality cuddle time.

I will say that my favorite Kander and Ebb songs would have to include the absolutely brilliant So What from Cabaret, one of the greatest character songs ever written.
