Just found out that one of the nicest people I've met in San Antonio's restaurant scene died this morning from cancer. It's come as a big shock. We'd been praying for her husband, who has been in need of a kidney transplant for several years. Never knew that she had health issues, too.

This is very sad.  My condolences to you and all those who loved her.

[Jane]

Thank you, all. Barbara was a wonderful person. I remember when my friend Bonnie got laid off, she ended up in their restaurant. Bonnie was visably depressed, and Barbara took note. She made Bonnie feel special that day and talked to her for a long time without knowing who she was, other than being a customer. Turns out she treated most everyone with the same care and attention, even when things were hectic. 

This is a beautiful story to remember her by.

And the Citibank crisis is over. The funds, which should have been deposited last thursday have finally landed in my checking account.

Finally, and thank goodness!!

From DR TCB:

Feel better vibes to DR Vixmom and DR Jane!

Thanks.  I will once I can get these glasses fixed.

Are you still snow and iced in today?

Kind of.  Keith walked the driveway this morning to test it was ok and then we both walked down it.  I was a bit nervous and kept walking on the snow instead of the driveway.

We then walked down the road which was ok though for parts I stayed in the snow vs walking on areas that were a bit slippery.

We then got to the main road, which regularly isn't a busy one, and it was very icy.  Keith crossed it today and there was mail in the box.  Walking back up the road was easy.

[Jane]

Keith then drove the car down to test the main roads and came back up.  He decided to go to the gym, driving about 25 miles an hour, but preferred to drive it by himself the first time. 

I'm home and about to clean & be productive here.

He called and said it is very icy and his new tires are handling his slow speed just fine.  When he called he, and others, were behind a nervous person going 15 miles an hour.

[Jane]

DR TCB a good keyboard is important.  Can you exchange it?

[Jrand74]

TAPS arrived at my house today.

I also purchased the television cast recording of THE SOUND OF MUSIC that includes a second disk of nine orchestral tracks.

You are sixteen going on seventy?

Very close.

[ChasSmith]

DR Jrand63, what are the nine orchestral tracks?  Sound of Music material, or something else?

It was probably me.

[Jrand74]

DR TCB did you get software to load with your new keyboard?

[Jrand74]

That is a very sad story DR JOHN G.

[Jrand74]

It is official, I will be directing GUYS & DOLLS in June.

[Jrand74]

Well...I will be if I survive....ACHILLES/ACHILLES SON in January.

[TCB]

DR TCB a good keyboard is important.  Can you exchange it?

I didn't keep the recipt or the box.  I will try it for a while, andi f it doesn't get better, I will buy a new one and donate this one to the Salvation Army.

[ChasSmith]

It is official, I will be directing GUYS & DOLLS in June.

Yay!!!!!   Hey, maybe -- just maybe -- I could plan my summer visit over that way to coincide.  Just maybe.

[John G.]

Sounds like a fun job, JRand.

[TCB]

DR TCB did you get software to load with your new keyboard?

Not really.  It came with a USB plug-in and it just worked from there.  That and the cordless mouse, which I really like.

[TCB]

It is official, I will be directing GUYS & DOLLS in June.

HOO & RAY!

[Ginny]

DR Ginny, so sorry about Rob's bad news. I hope all those losing jobs, especially your son, will find new and better employment right away!!

Thanks, DR MBarnum.  This week he has to concentrate on the final exam for his anatomy & physiology class (pre-req for physician assistant school).

I didn't realize he was taking courses.  Has he been accepted to a school or does he need to finish the pre-requesit courses first?

He's taking some of the prerequisite courses that weren't required of a philosophy major.

[Ben]

So much news today.

[Ben]

Larry, as Ginny said, good for you for telling the brothers to do what they should have done years ago.

[Ben]

Ginny, so sorry to hear about Rob being made redundant (as the British say). I hope that something comes through soon but he does have a great support group to help.

[Ben]

John, sorry to hear about the sudden loss of your friend. What a shock.

[Ginny]

Ginny, so sorry to hear about Rob being made redundant (as the British say). I hope that something comes through soon but he does have a great support group to help.

Thanks, DR Ben.

[George]

I am disappointed that we don't have a photo from yesterday of a certain Mr. Potter with a certain DR George.

Well, next time...I'm sure that there will be a next time.

[Ginny]

Well, I have to go preside over our festive AAUW holiday program even though I'm not really in the mood.

Bye for now!

[George]

What I hate about amplification (in the theatre or otherwise) is that you lose the directionality. Everyone's voice is coming from everywhere.

Or worse, everyone's voices coming from one place.

Briksdalsbreen Glacier, Norway

WOW!  That's a great picture!

[George]

TOD: I think the music has become too loud and as a result the singers have had to in order to get the lyrics across. I would like a little less volume on just about everything. And I don't like the sight of those head mics. I don't like seeing the pastor wear one in church.

The mics at the top of the head at the hair line aren't so bad...it's the boom mics in front of the performers' mouths that are utterly ridiculous!
