Well, you've read the notes, the notes were looming, and now it is time for you to post until the looming cows come home.

I met one of my California friends and her relatives for dinner in Old Town Alexandria last night.  We always go to "The Wharf," which serves "she-crab soup," which is her favorite.   They always make a nice pasta and veggie dish for me since I don't eat meat or fish.

I have a serious bout of full blown food poisoning - for only the third time in fifty years I am throwing up, which I HATE.  Haven't slept a minute and if this isn't done by morning, I won't be attending band rehearsal.  I can only pray it's gone by Monday.

I am happy to report that the various PAL format discs acquired over the years from friends in England and Australia work perfectly in our new region-free DVD player!

Deb, glad to hear that 12th Night and Richard were worth the trip into the city, and that your dining experience was so delectable and fun.

Good morning, all.

What's this? -- do I see an actual dry and partially sunny day out there?  What is this world coming to?

By jove, let's have some coffee!

Good morning, all! My bed is weatherized keep me warm in zero-degree weather, and I an not sleeping well in 50-degree temperatures! It took me forever to settle down last night, and I did not want to get out of bed this morning.

I have an event-crammed day at Toyland today, mostly centered around this men's chorus medley. I'm hoping to get a good chunk of writing accomplished, but the most important task is settling on which music paper best fit the arrangement and printing out a goodly amount.

I spent about an hour last night playing with the remote control and settings on the DVD player. The TV picture on every disc I examined was full-frame, and everyone was stretched out of proportion until I figured out how to letterbox the picture. Now, I am happy as a clam.

DR vixmom, I'm happy you had such fantastic day!  What luck at the parking garage; it's all that good karma you send forth.

DR Ben, I guess the DVD player is up and running. Excellent news!

Food poisoning!!?

Oh, I have SO been there!  There's nothing worse, while you have it, and it seems like FOREVER.  I've suffered it three times that I can recall, and fortunately it's been years since the last time. 

VIBES to BK for the speediest possible recovery.

My California friend and her sister and cousin and I are going to see Gypsy today at the Signature Theatre.  Our own Sandy B plays one of the strippers (Tessie Tura).   Looking forward to seeing the show!

I do wonder if she-crab soup tastes any different than he-crab soup.

I just tried organic chia seeds for the first time (sprinkled them over my breakfast). It's apparently all the latest craze.


They're pretty innocuous.

DR Vixmom - thanks for sharing the details of your day/evening on the town. It is fun to live vicariously!

DR Vixmom nice to hear about the shows, dinner and what the parking garage attendant did. But hopefully he was going to adjust the price anyways (not to what he did but to at least what you were supposed to pay).
