Well, you've read the notes, the notes broke the rules, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently following way too many rules.

And the word of the day is: ANSERINE!

Good morning, all! I slept quite well, but I was really exhausted.

I'm going to need more vibes from you all if we're going to finish the operation. Kinko's turned out to be great, so that was one ordeal out of our way. Hopefuly, by last night all the orchestra parts have been copied, so today will consist mostly of taping and (hopefully) printng the full scores.

This morning I have a trip to the bank to take care of some financial transactions for myself and my colleague Curtis who's in Europe with Richard III, and then I will head downtown.

DR JRand60, I too am enjoying the CAMELOT stories. When is the opening night?

TOD: There's an old quote from Pablo Picasso: "Desde niño pintaba como Rafael, pero me llevó toda una vida aprender a dibujar como un niño."

“When I was a child, I painted like Raphael, but it has taken me a lifetime to learn to draw like a child."

He learned the rules and spent a lifetime learning how to break them. I have been the same way with journalism. When I read the articles I wrote before I learned the rules, I like them better than what I wrote for the first 15 years or so after school. It took me that long to learn to find and trust my voice.

I'm glad I know some of the rules, especially grammar. I wish I had never been introduced to others.

A friend from church named Bruce is facing deep brain stimulation surgery this morning to deal with his Parkinson's disease. It sounds scary to me, because the patient is conscious while the doctor has his or her hands inside the cranium trying to find the source of tremors.

Bruce was supposed to have had this more than a year ago, but he had his hair cut short without telling the doctor and that wasn't a good thing because it apparently opens the scalp up to infection. (Some other medication that he had to take then postponed things further.)

Anyway, prayers and vibes for Bruce would be greatly appreciated.

Thursday morning greetings! Up early to finish up my packing and then head north. I have several stops to make on my way out of town - blood lab, Starbucks, library...

Okay the TOD

TOD: I think that's why I love the beginning of the original "Merrily We Roll Along" when the elder Franklin Shepard is shouting above the din, "Because I know the rules." And then we learn that the rules were what helped him get into the mess he's in.

Art isn't easy
Every minor detail
Is a major decision
Have to keep things in scale
Have to hold to your vision

Morning all.

That is all.

Ben · « **Reply #15 on:** July 28, 2011, 04:38:09 AM »

I really overslept this morning. I didn't get into the office until a few minutes ago.

I think I'm tired from the dental work.

Alas, it will only continue.

But a very nice thing happened at Pret a Manger. Instead of making and eating my oatmeal I decided to go to PAM and get coffee and a Bunny Pot of yogurt, sliced almonds and julienne slices of fruit and cranberries. They open at 7am. They are usually quite on top of things but today perhaps Larry's ghost was visiting because things were not moving along. I was the first customer and it was clear they were not ready for anyone. I had my coffee and yogurt and was waiting patiently while my clerk was apologizing (PAM has GREAT customer service). Finally the manager came around and she said, "it's on the house, thanks for your business" Free breakfast! Hooray. I'll go back again.

Sorry for being E&T, but I've been spending my days with my mom who's in the hospital. After suffering with stomach cramps all weekend, we brought her to the ER on Tuesday and found she was having a gall bladder attack. What seemed to be a simple plan of removing the gall bladder has turned into a complex set of issues, tests and procedures. So I'm asking for some HHW vibes to help my mom deal with it all. Thanks!

OK, I'm signing off - bye 'til I get to Michigan!

Greetings from Toyland! I am all alone this morning, so I will trim the photocopies of the manuscript scores for binding and see what I can do with this Piano-Conductor part for the EILEEN Orchestra Selections.
