Any visit with Mr. Jason Graae would be amusing.

And long too. ::)

Speaking of long... it's only Tuesday and this week seems like it's moving very slowly.  Today was a funeral for a co-worker/friend etc... she was diagnosed with cancer 11 months ago.  It was sad to see her get weaker and weaker, but she worked to the very end.  A few weeks ago, I played for her youngest daughter's wedding and I had played for another daughter's wedding 5 years earlier.  I really liked her, in fact, we were at our best when we would argue.  I'd play Claire de Lune for her and all would be well.  I played it today...along with selections from "Up".  She and the pastor have been friends for 20 years, he held up well during the Mass and his homily was beautiful.  She will be greatly missed.

Off to bed...

This is a very long week already. I need sleep. But I've miles to go, even tonight.

My sink no longer leaks and I think I will mop the bathroom floor. After that, I'll walk down to the NYPL for some Historic Newspapers On Line research.

Thank you Larry, they worked! And glad your sink is behaving itself!

This news was a long time coming!

Great news for both. Guess I'm going to have to sell plasma to get to Washington -- if I can snag a ticket to that.

I still think Bernadette Peters is lousy casting; I'd go with Rebecca Luker

Bernadette Peters makes my skin crawl. But I love Rebecca Luker!

I had several poems published when I was in 4th grade as well as a crossword puzzle.  I can't remember the place I sent them...something Kid's Corner.  I'm thinking it was in Nevada, but I don't remember now.

I had a poem published in Jack and Jill magazine when I was very young, and another in Golden Magazine a year later. I decided to quit while I was at the peak of my literary career.

If I could get on Facebook I would make the following statement:
Quote
To my Los Angeles/Valley, etc friends:  The wonderful documentary JEWS AND BASEBALL AN AMERICAN LOVE STORY is in your area for two nights only
• November 17 - Wilshire Temple, Beverly Hills, CA
• November 19 - Laemmle's Town Center 5, Encino, CA

Actually, it will be at Laemmle's Music Hall in Beverly Hills for a week (hopefully more!) as well as a week (or more) in Encino!

You can't get on FB? Wha happened??

The library from which I retired was an early adopter of downloadable audiobooks, but at first there were no iPod friendly selections and now they are quite limited.  I've used the service, but I prefer to use iTunes U and podcasts from NPR.

I wish i had a faster internet.. Still on dailup and tha tmakes things like ipods and mp3 players a bit useless

I also have dabbled in poetry.

Dakota Diaspora


Empty walls speak and ghosts dance
Stories of long ago stream
Prairie Winds of our soul
Proud stories of blood and courage

Bright lights beckon us from afar
The impetuous and spirited leave
The lifeblood of progeny
A new tomorrow afar in golden lands

Prairies grey and hemorrhage
Doors swing in the wind
Testaments of our past stand forlorn
Harkening to a better time

Lifeless ribbons of grey in grass
Empty temples of life it once held
The wind cries out a mournful tune
Searching for its children

I just watched part of an interview with Army Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta, who today was given the Medal of Honor.  I got very chocked up listening to him.


One of what we all are Pelly.
Less than a drop in the great blue motion of the sunlit sea.
But it seems that some of the drops sparkle, Pelly.
Some of them do sparkle!

I saw that on the plane...very moving--impressive young man!
