Project wrap-up and office space vibes to DR Elmore!

Thanks, DR Ginny!

I am currently listening to Irish pub and drinking songs. I want to see ONCE again!

Yes! As I heard the music on NPR and while listening to the show, I felt like I was awash in all things Celtic. The set looks like so many Irish pubs we saw in Dublin (not that we went on a pub crawl).

I hope that, if ONCE is a success, there will be a recording of the 20-minute pub set before the show actually begins. Note to all future audiences: curtain may be at 8, but the show begins at 7:40!

Friday morning greetings!  It's hard to believe the first full week of March is winding down and that we "spring ahead" tomorrow night.

Glad you survived the bacon wrapped filet.

LOL, DR der Brucer!  I did survive, but today will atone by observing a Lenten meatless Friday.

There was a(n) hilarious story in this morning's paper about some idiot who managed to get three (count 'em) speeding tickets, all for over 100 mph, within the space of 60 minutes in the Columbia Gorge.  Why was he speeding?  To make his court date on drug charges.

You know, I hate it when that happens.

No. I'm sorry I can't.

Sunday's good, but right now I'm juggling too many things. This has been a day of difficult tsuris-filled emails, from closing the PHI office and things to be done to facilitate it to problems with getting another office to a missing English lyric in the booklet for the Herbert songs. The booklet looks beautiful with wonderful illustrations, but I've got to fnd the music, take care of the lyrics problem and repair this ASAP.

Oy!

That is really sad.  At least she knows now.

There's hail downtown (thankfully my car is in a garage), but storming across the whole city is getting ready to get good here.

From DR Jennifer:
Quote
DR Jane where did you buy these ebooks? If it was at B&N then I would look at the comments. Maybe someone else noticed the problem?  If you got it from your library mabe ask someone there. I am curious because for the kindle every ebook looks similar to me in terms of print. But i do have the options to adjust things.

Thanks for the tip to check Barnes & Noble for comments.  For BLUE by Lou Aronica I found many complaints regarding the font & the inability to adjust it.  Unlike others I seemed to have been able to make the print darker which helped.

THE WILD GIRL by Jim Fergus was an ePub book from the library.  I found it available at B&N & there weren't any negative comments regarding the horrible font & other problems I experienced. 

I'm just discovering that all eBook formats are not equal.  The surprise for me was not having the option to adjust the format.  I'm glad I persevered as I enjoyed both books & neither was more difficult to read than the paperback the preceded them.

Here's the trailer for my Maurice Chevalier play:

Now, all I need is an actor to play the role.

I know someone whose husband had another wife. They discovered each other when he had a stroke and was in the hospital. Lucky for him, he died.

For those who are interested, Julie and Carol (the first two albums) are being released on CD and digital download.

Julie and Carol at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center

This site is for pre-order. The first is for a physical CD (look at the CD icon) the second one, below it is for a digital download. Again, they are both for PRE-ORDER. The CD or download won't arrive until approximately April 3rd.

I remember Julie and Carol Together Again, the 3rd one and I also remember that I thought it was pretty bad. I'll be very glad to have CH & LC. I have them both transferred from tape to CD.

From today's online Variety:

WB courting Tom Cruise for 'A Star is Born'

One must assume it's for the role of Esther.
