DR Jose - I've enjoyed your postings from Atlanta and the conference. Thanks for sharing with us!

Travel vibes - looks like a beautiful day for flying.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #61 on:** March 11, 2007, 10:28:51 AM »

Well, that was fast and easy too - catching up on the posts, of course...

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #62 on:** March 11, 2007, 10:32:30 AM »

And it is indeed a beautiful day here in Atlanta! I checked out of my room earlier this morning just so that I could sit outside for a while and be out in gorgeous weather.

-And after our brunch, DR edisaurus drove us over to the Carter Presidential Library where we walked around the grounds for a little bit before heading to the airport. There were some gorgeous dogs - I forget the exact breeed - being walked, and I believe DR edisaurus made some new 'friends' in the process. -And there were some nice dogs at the place we had brunch too - we ate outside.

And I just checked the weather for the week back in NYC...

*Although, I'm wondering why the "fitness forecast" for tomorrow is listed at 1 (on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being "uncomfortable") when it's supposed to be in the mid-50s?

I suspect that many of us have had this same experience. It's a good problem to have!

Thank you, DR Jeanne. And yes, it is!

(OK, DR GEORGE or someone else, pls tell me again how to do a quote from yesterday.)

Yes, I would like to be able to figure this out, too...

DR elmore - It was indeed RealTime Music Solutions and Jeff Lazarus we ran into at the conference. -Strangely enough, I don't think MTI sent down a rep this year.

Woody is blame for my regular use of the Quote funtion - DRs were constanly confusing what I was quoting with what was original thought.

I thought DR Jose was the one to blame here at HHW....

Miss Karen · « **Reply #68 on:** March 11, 2007, 10:37:21 AM »

Speaking of DR Jose ...

Safe travels to that naughty nymph!

And as for the final day/night of the conference...

It really was a very good conference overall. I didn't get that "third day fatigue" like I normally do. I think part of that had to with the fact that more people seem properly prepared this year - which makes my job a lot easier. A LOT! Additionally, I did not give my "Lunch With Jose" workshop like I have done in the past - I would literally have my lunch in a room while people asked me questions - and ate their lunch too. An actual break made a big difference. -However, I did invite the auditions to come up to me if they saw me in the hotel, and to feel free to ask me any questions they may have, and a couple of people took me up on my offer.

Last night's closing night receptions were good, easy-going affairs. And they kind of closed up shop early - the conference seemed to catch up with everybody around 10:30 last night, and most of the receptions were done by 11:30. -There have been times where I've been playing piano bar until 3:00AM! -But not last night. -And the prospect of losing an hour of sleep before a travel day was also keeping people on their better behavior. I was in bed by midnight, and a got a very good night's sleep.

I'd love to stay and play but things to do and places to go. It's a gorgeous day here in AZ (like I said, plenty of sunshine to go 'round if your daylight savings time doesn't work in the rest of the U S of A)..

What's a "fitness" forecast?

Weather.com provides a "fitness forecast" which is basically an indication of how comfortable it will be to workout (run, walk, etc.) outside for the day based on the temp, humidity, winds, etc. I found it comes in handy for my walks in Central Park.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #72 on:** March 11, 2007, 10:44:53 AM »

Hmm.. Looks likes it's going to be a full flight... I hope everyone bathed! *Time to take the Airborne too.

singdaw · « **Reply #73 on:** March 11, 2007, 10:46:52 AM »

Oh...thanks.

So it doesn't have a thing to do with MBarnum's body builders...

I presume you are not a Church goer.

And weekdays are spent lounging about.

der Brucer

Der B, you are correct that I am not a church-goer. But no on #2. I will soon concede to the requirements of Life As We Know It and adjust my clocks. But not yet. I will not give up that hour until I have to!

Yesterday Matt told me he'd be here at 10. This morning I wondered if that was 10 old time or 10 new time--we'd never specified. He arrived while I was in the shower, but that's the norm here. (He lets himself in. My little kingdom is apart from the area where he's working.)

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #75 on:** March 11, 2007, 10:48:44 AM »

And before I leave Atlanta proper, I want to personally (and publicly) thank DR edisaurus for her hospitality and generosity these past couple of days. Meeting her was truly a highlight of this past week, and I hope to catch up with her and Greg again when they head to NYC in a few weeks for "S&V".

*And our visits also provided me with enough time to fill her in on some of those "HHW Mysteries". -So, if your ears were burning this morning... -Or in the case of DR MBarnum, if you underwear was, well... we'll leave it at that.

Although, I guess it could be used as a guide as to how much oil they need to slick up their bodies with for their posing by the poolside.

DR Jeanne, the local AAUW branch, of which I'm a member, is having our annual used book sale next weekend. I'm signed up to sell from noon to 4 on Saturday.

DR GINNY, if you were local I'd happily donate to you. I wonder if any of the libraries here will be having sales soon. I'll check.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #78 on:** March 11, 2007, 10:50:55 AM »

OK... I believer we're starting to board... I seriously doubt I'll have time to log on from Chicago - unless my flight gets delayed - so I'll see you all again tonight...

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #79 on:** March 11, 2007, 10:51:30 AM »

DR elmore - Before I forget - and I never really do - this ho loves you too!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #80 on:** March 11, 2007, 10:51:55 AM »

Hmm... I wonder if they'll be asking for volunteers to get bumped... Hmm...

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #81 on:** March 11, 2007, 10:53:20 AM »

Well, time for me to power down, and get ready for boarding...

Laters...

What does "Lunch with Jose" consist of?

Coffee, tea, or he?

Seriously, though...I'd also be interested in what topics are discussed.

Looks like a lovely day outside. I must hurry and get ready for la brunch.

I know WHY they're doing this daylight savings time - but I also have been through enough of these "experiments" to know that at the end of the day it will be a failure and no energy will have been saved. And I'm also here to tell you if by some miracle energy was saved energy prices would go UP not down.

FJL · « **Reply #88 on:** March 11, 2007, 11:30:10 AM »

I wonder if Jose will give an HHW Magical Mystery tour someday.

FJL · « **Reply #89 on:** March 11, 2007, 11:30:58 AM »

Or is that a Magical mister Tour (like visits to Splash).
