I think I have reading  these posts too long, Ginny.  I read the first two sentences of your post, and I just assumed that Grantseeking Basics was the name of a new musical.

LOL!  Our department manager decreed that all my coworker reference librarians would be required to attend this event sometime in 2007, so each month I have 3 or 4 of them in the audience.  The folks who were there last night all commented on the "performance" element.  One said in her evaluation, "How do you do this month after month?" and another told me this morning that he gained enomous respect for what I do.  Last month, one co-worker told another that Grantseeking Basics isn't as boring as she thought it'd be  ;D

Hi DR Jose (you jungle siren!)...... I missed it in the earlier posts this week, but which day did your surprise package finally get to you?  And, do you have a favorite flavor out of what you have tried so far??

I was just wondering how long UPS took to get there.

Hugs..... (and smacks!)

The package arrived Tuesday morning.  As for my favorite flavor, I'd have to say the Black Cherry ones.  -And among the cast of All About Us, Black Cherry and Cookie Mintster seem to be the front-runners.

Saturday at 2am the rest of the world (the rest of the world that does it anyway) will change to Daylight Saving Time and we will then be back to 5 hours time difference between the U.K. and New York.
That's "from" for some of us Ben.

Hi, all.

I just spoke to Jane - the news is not good. Sherlock's surgery has been postponed - because there are serious complications with his condition. it looks bad.

I am holding a space in my heart for miracles. And wishing Keith and Jane patience and strength for whatever is surely coming, in best or worst case scenarios... they ask the same of you - hold the space for a miracle, and send them loving vibes to get through whatever is coming down the pike at them.

More as I hear from them...

DR elmore - So, I've been thinking about Swagat on Amsterdam between 79th & 80th for dinner.  And that will put us closer to the theatre too.  *Seating is general admission.  Nick may be able to reserve some seats for us, but he's not sure he can.  Shall I just meet you at your place around 5:30-5:45?

Clearly, DR TCB, you've never heard me sing.  Remember, my signature role in a musical was when DR Elmore cast me as The Mute in The Fantasticks!

What very diappointing news regarding Sherlock.  My thoughts are with them all.  If any place could inspire a miracle, it would be HHW.  So healthy vibes:

This morning, as I was puttering about I listened to all three UNSUNG MUSICALS recordings.  I think my favorite performance may be Debbie Gravitte's "Hero" and my favorite orchestration that I did is Liz Callaway's "New Words."  I had forgotten how many wonderful numbers were on those three discs.

Why do I have the feeling that the term "fire escape", in references to accommodating DR MBarnum, is actually a euphemism for something else altogether?

Re: the new $.41 postage stamps.

The postal service is advertising that it will also issue comething called the "Forever Stamp."

I don't know how long they will be selling it, but the gist is that the "Forever Stamp" will be good no matter how many times the prices of 1st class postage increase in the future.  If you have them, they will "do the trick".

I am so disheartened about Sherlock.  But we don't know anything definite yet, so I remain hopeful.

I hope you realize their "flat rate boxes" are fine if you're weighing tonnage but you can get screwed royally on a large object requirng a larger carton that weighs little.
