You're very welcome, DR Ginny. And if you don't mind waiting for the download, there are also some video podcasts on iTunes.

He died...that's the news...now until you have some actual real information on how and why he died, let's press on to some real news....like maybe what's happening in Iran or with Health Care...

This.

Good morning.
I am taking an actual sick day for the first time since before Toby was born. I cannot tell if this is allergies run amok, or if an actual cold has snuck into the mix. All I know is that my head is huge and heavy, my throat hurts, my eyes are streaming, and that I'm out of Kleenex.
I will now spend the day curled up in bed with my laptop until it is time to go pick up Toby from daycare. I feel slightly guilty for sending him when I am home, but I really desperately need rest.

I have not turned on a TV news broadcast since the MJ story broke. I read one article on Yahoo to find out the news of his passing, and left it at that. I grow weary of people hashing and rehashing every tiny detail, doing elaborate tributes over and over again. I agree with Pogue. Wait until you have some real info, until then there are plenty of other noteworthy stories to report on.

Today the printer repairman is coming. I keep hoping that since they have to send repairmen so often that they will offer us a really good price on a new machine that will require no maintenance. I am an optimist, I know.

Laura · « **Reply #38 on:** June 26, 2009, 09:06:15 AM »

Don't feel guilty, Ann. Get some rest.

Poor Farrah...nothing says "show business" like being immediately bumped off the front page for a bigger star story.

I actually said the same thing yesterday to Betsy, adding that Ryan is probably fuming over it all.

Oy. Ulla needs her song lowered in order to do the gymnastics. Leo wants the dance break of That Face cut. And Max wants to do about 1/3 of Betrayed. Just another day at the office.

Laura · « **Reply #41 on:** June 26, 2009, 09:15:27 AM »

This headline in the Arizona Republic confuses me:

"Two lost icons: For Generation X, a really bad day"

Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett were Generation X?

Ann · « **Reply #42 on:** June 26, 2009, 09:20:22 AM »

And, because it's been awhile...here's how Toby is looking now!

Laura · « **Reply #43 on:** June 26, 2009, 09:25:01 AM »

Awww.

Look, Jose! Toby has a monkey, too!

Thanks, Ann. He is a very handsome fella.

Farrah was a Baby Boomer.

Jose I forgot to check if her special was on last night. We watched an incredible old film with Michael Redgrave, THE BROWNING VERSION. The DVD included an interview with Redgrave & a very interesting, intelligent commentary by Mike Figgis, the director of the remake with Albert Finney.

Cute.

Ann I hope you feel better, and don't feel too guilty taking Toby to day care, you do need the rest.

I'm up after a surprisingly long sleep. That's because the noise level was almost nil this morning - they were working on the front of the house, I guess, and not too noisily at that - so that was a treat. However, if I'm to jog I must be out of here in about twenty minutes.

TOD:

Movies--"Little Miss Sunshine" "Butterflies Are Free"

Music- "Flower Drum Song," "My Fair Lady," South Pacific," and a few of the other REAL OBC recordings of REAL musicals

Kerry · « **Reply #50 on:** June 26, 2009, 10:01:09 AM »

I am glad Farrah does not have to suffer anymore. Michael Jackson I could care less about.

Well...

I had to learn "Flaunt It" in three different keys for the tour - and ending up playing all three different keys over the span of a weekend. -And the 16th-note lick when the tempo kicks in really only fits under the fingers in C. It was interesting in B, and quite challenging in D-Flat.

There is a standard cut in "That Face" which doesn't require any adjusting of the parts. I can check my score if you'd like the measure numbers.

And as for "Betrayed" - just have him sing it faster and/or have a short "Intermission".

Ginny · « **Reply #55 on:** June 26, 2009, 10:28:48 AM »

Aww, Toby's so cute! The second picture reminds me of the one that ends up on the Mom's credit card in the Capitol One commercial.

I had a cocker spaniel as a child. His name was Toby, too!

Questionably Talented Diva: Can you change the key of my song?

Disgruntled MD: Honey, if I could, I'ld change the lock.

Jed's grandfather tells us often of the dog they had when Jed's mom was a child, a great dog named Toby. In fact, we were worried about naming Toby for awhile because Jed said the story of that dog's demise had been told so often that "Poor dead Toby" had become a common phrase in the house. Ultimately, though, we decided to risk it
