Let's get off of Page 1, shall we?

That's much better.

BK: I still won't know till at least tomorrow if I can get to DC later in the week. Does the East Coast Singer have a show every night, or just on Friday? What part of town will you be staying in?

DR ELMORE didn't give me the title. Travel vibes for MR BK.

Monday morning greetings! Just got that in under the wire, before noon. I slept late today and have been puttering all morning.

Travel vibes for BK - wave when you fly over Ohio!

Well I can't find my DVD or find it in my Amazon purchase history.....

Jrand74 · « **Reply #37 on:** March 18, 2013, 08:49:43 AM »

HA! Here it is.... It is a most enjoyable romp with lovely music and imaginative staging....highly recommended by the likes of me.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #38 on:** March 18, 2013, 08:50:41 AM »

I guess it's more of an opera than a ballet....though...

TOD - Didn't really see any ballet until I moved to Ohio. My earliest memories are 1) going to Dayton with a co-worker to see Edward Villella in recital at Memorial Hall, and 2) seeing Columbus, Ohio's, BalletMet in concert at the local Miami University campus, where I worked in the library. That performance was one of my first dates with Richard, who at the time was a fifth grade teacher. I went to the ladies' room at intermission and when I rejoined him in the lobby he was surrounded by adoring 5th-grade girls. It was very sweet.

In December 1980, right before we were married in January 1981, Richard and I took his nieces to see THE NUTCRACKER in Cincinnati. They were 6 and 8 and, after the performance, the lady behind us complimented us on our well-behaved daughters. We just said, "Oh, thank you!"

Of course, once DS Rob started dating Mary Linda, we saw quite a bit of ballet at the University of Cincinnati. My favorite was their full-length SWAN LAKE, in the spring of 2008.

I'm up, after only about five hours of sleep, if that - just couldn't fall asleep.

Chas, I think I'm near Chevy Chase or something like that. I actually think I'm seeing Sandy's show on Thursday - let me know if you want to come.

It's because I don't know what it is, DR JRand62!

I've looked over some edits, unpacked four carton of scores and orchestra parts, dealt with some McGlinn estate business, and I'm about to head back uptown.

Yesterday was a very slow, boring day, and it rained constantly. I thought it would never end - both the rian and the day!

Today I'm back from a pleasant leisurely lunch with friends.

It wasn't as good as it sounds, either.

It must have been truly horrible.

From DR TCB:

Quote

They just interviewed this woman on the news that was a passenger on one of the recent Carnival ship hiccups. She was screaming about bringing her lawyer into the arguments. She had better go back and reread the Terms she signed before she boarded the ship.

Hmm, you mean the small print I never read?

Jrand74 · « **Reply #49 on:** March 18, 2013, 10:34:56 AM »

LOL DR ELMORE - it was the Offenbach Opera that you recommended to me....La Vie Parissienne.

Back from a three-mile jog. I didn't receive my airline e-mail to check in so I went to the site and did so. Then I called them and asked them why the e-mail hadn't arrived. I talked to one of the most ignorant people ever, and pity the people who try to make a reservation with her. I asked and she looked at my file and said I'd received the e-mail on March 6. I explained that was the confirmation e-mail and I was talking about the check-in e-mail for my flight. Then she said they don't send those e-mails, that we're just supposed to go to the site to do that. I expressed disbelief and said I have never not gotten that e-mail before a flight. She then asked if it had gone into my spam folder at which point I should have asked for a supervisor. I said I don't have a spam folder for that account. Then she asked if it had arrived while we were talking - I told her no, at which point she said again that they don't send them out. I thought I was hearing a Pinter play by that point. Of course, when I got home from the jog, there it was.

Shortly, I shall shut down the computer and take it to the Apple Store.

Was the lady from the U.S. BK?

I am home from Toyland, Not a bad day, so far!

Have I reached the party to whom I am speaking?

Ginny · « **Reply #55 on:** March 18, 2013, 11:29:55 AM »

I have had a 30-minute walk around the basement, followed by lunch with Richard. Enjoying a day at home after my 5 busy days in a row.

Ginny · « **Reply #56 on:** March 18, 2013, 11:31:25 AM »

Oh, I forgot to tell you:

Proceeds from the book sale = $10, 867.05!

Even after expenses, that will mean a lot of scholarships!

MBarnum · « **Reply #57 on:** March 18, 2013, 11:39:11 AM »

That is wonderful, DR Ginny!
