TOD:

American English (fluent)
British English (tolerably fluent)
French (I remember my verbs...and given an opportunity, can piece together the gist of what is being said)
Italian (the saltier it is, the better I understand it and can respond in kind)
Greek (woefully at a loss, but very much in love with it and was learning it when I lived in Athens).

German: Have always wanted to learn it.

I did French at school and have done classes in German and Spanish. I am abysmal in all of them.

Craig's flight has been delayed AGAIN. At this point he will not make his connecting flight. Usually when flights here to San Francisco are delayed so is the flight in San Francisco. As of know the SF flight is showing on time.

With Mercury AND Uranus going into retrograde this week.....such delays are expected DR JANE.

We have to live with it until at least August 7th.

Is "retrograde" a kind of constipation?

I'm up - almost eight hours, as I didn't get to bed again until almost two.

I am home from Tekserve and the owner of a MacBoook Air, which is very adorable. I had a Tekserve 30-minute tutorial, so I guess I'm computer-savvy for Dublin.

A Facebook comment from Varla Jean Merman, love child of Ethel Merman and Ernest Borgnine, on the death of her father:

Thank you all for your kind words. The loss of a parent is devastating, and my love for him was unrestrained. He was a quiet man, but his lawyers often conveyed his true feelings for me, and at least reassured me that he did know I was out there, especially when I came within 400 feet of him.

Thank you. He sent a text with his new connecting flight. If it is on time he should arrive before 9:00. It could be worse.

Oh oh, Kitty is attempting to do this again.

Darn, I forgot we can't post photos the traditional way.

Craig arrived in SF 2 hours 10 minutes late. Since is next flight is delayed he has about an hour layover.

Yogi does not like that there are two men from Directv working in & outside the house. Kitty doesn't like the noises Yogi is making and is hiding. I'm locked in the laundry with them both.

DR JohnG. I had meant to thank you for the nice comments about the Herbert Songs. I don't know if anyne else on HHW has heard the collection or even liked it much, but we could sure use a positive review on Amazon. Both reviews posted there seem negative to middling to me, much like Suskin's for Playbill, generally dismissive. One says the first disc is great and the material gets worse and the other says (s)he could get six friends and a bottle of wine together and produce something similar, which is an insukt to most of the singers we cast. I know there are clinkers in 102 numbers, but I feel there are listeners happier with the recording than these two critics.

DR DanTheMan...now that I am caught up with the last few days' posts...how terrible about your former coworker. Very tragic, and you just never expect things like that to happen.

Sure, there are a couple of songs that are not as wonderful as others, but the point of a collection is to show everything. I have only made it through about two and a half of the discs (mostly starting one and not having the time to listen to all of it.). What I particularly enjoy is the wistful feeling a lot of the music has. I had played some George M. Cohan last week because of the Fourth, and there is a definite musical heritage that both express that, well, deserves to be heard and preserved. The singers are gorgeous. I will also say I was a little worried that I would miss a full orchestral sound, but I don't. The music and the singers are that good. Zachary Strains (is that his name?) is the one newcomer so far who has stood out for me alongside the more familiar, to me, voices of Rebecca Luker and Ron Raines.

So, yes, I will try to go on there and post a review when I have finished. I owe BK a rave, too, for "Album Produced By ..."
