Oh DR TCB!  I hope you weren't stranded too long on the floor.  according to bryan some swelling is good to fight infection & was why he didn't ice his injured knee.

The footage on the 5:00 news was terrifying.

Greetings from our basement.  When the sirens went off the second time and we started hearing thunder, Richard and I decided to take cover.  Sounds like the worst of the weather is going south of us, but here we are...

Thanks, DR Jane.  So far, so good - the power is still on and we haven't heard the sirens again.

Lordy, DR Ginny! Be safe. You sound like my Aunt Dorothy. She was so terrified of tornados that she was always in the basement. 

I don't recall any tornado sirens in Middletown. when was this installed?

DR Elmore - the sirens were installed sometime while Rob was in elementary school.

DR Jane - even though we're in the basement and we have glass block windows, I can verify that the sun is NOT shining at the moment.

For the second time in a week a title I wanted to license has JUST been licensed by this Spanish label (for whom I wrote some liner notes for one of their first releases - sorry I did that now) - very annoying and I'm sure he's just going to keep going through the MGM list until he locks up everything that Intrada or us haven't locked up.  The thing about the title today is that there are no elements but I'd figured out how to do it - he obviously figured out the same thing, only he won't do it as well because he doesn't have my mastering guy.

That is horrible, BK.  Have you considered contacting the head of that label?

I did write him, actually.  There's no preventing this - he who moves fastest gets - but it's just weird that in five years of doing this no one and I mean no other label had figured out how to do this until apparently we BOTH did at the same time.

Enough with this crazy weather crap.  Anyone who doesn't think the world is somehow off its axis or global warming is having its day, think again.

FJL, thanks for the Follies and Time to Kill updates. I still would love to see Follies at least once with or without an intermission. Frankly I think the intermission belongs after "Could I Leave You." "Gypsy" has a lengthy first act; end the half of "Follies" with a tornado of anger and resent as it leads into the "Follies" sequence. When people come back from emptying their bladder, the world has changed and we've left reality.

Elmore, have you read the Jack Tales? I just learned of them and now can't wait to lay my hands on a copy. They're Appalachian folk tales with Jack of the beanstalk fame in various other tales. Don't know if any take place at Christmas or if any music is spoken on in them, but I thought of you when one of my professors was talking about them to me earlier this evening. (We're not reading them for class; we're reading Song of Roland, the Kalevala and the Niebelungenlied instead.)

And I think I got A's in both classes from the first semester. Finally got my analysis of my paper on the musicals of 1959. The topic was too large for the 25-page suggested limit. I wrote 44. She wanted more. The fact that I could make someone who was not interested in musicals want more made me feel good.

I've heard of them but never read them.

Congrats!  That's pretty cool. :D

After we'd been in the basement for about half an hour, we had a bite to eat and watched the TV coverage of the severe weather.  Apparently, there was some wind damage in the Dayton area and some areas are without power.  Rob might come home with some interesting stories - he's on a 3-11 practice shift with the paramedic company that came for me last August 3.

THE SONG OF ROLAND inspired several Handel operas. Alcina and Ariodante are two I can think of off the bat.
