Spent all day yesterday with son #2 in the hospital for bilateral hydrocele surgery (not the most serious procedure, but don't look it up if you're squeamish). Am very tired.

And I hope #2 has a speedy recovery

Not a bad attempt. Technically grammatically acceptable, but "תודה רבה" is more commonly employed.

Got onto the fifth page, so tonight I'll finish that one and do one or two more. I'll leave for the sitzprobe in about thirty minutes or so.

No. I use gate2home.com. My Hebrew typing's pretty lousy, but I manage.

The Italian flag is called the "Tricolore".

An Italian restaurant I used to go to in San Francisco in the mid-8os had a "Tricolore" on its menu. The plate would feature three pastas: Pesto, Alfredo and Pomodoro. They would be presented in the same manner as above...green, white and red.

When I returned to Italy in 1987-92, I found that this particular treat had not been heard of in all the restaurants I visited (although I imagine I gave them "food for thought", so it might be on Italian menus now).

Hello, all,

First,

to DR Mike!!

I'm still in the wilds of Maine for two and a half more weeks. Yesterday, the unthinkable. Singing that lovely, but difficult music at 10am for kids who didn't want to be there. Ah, well. The other 3 school shows were cancelled. I'm sure there were one or two kids who liked it. But at that hour for us. Bad new bears. Oy.

Happy Friday. Four more shows this weekend...

sitzprobe (German) is a term used in opera and musical theatre to describe a seated rehearsal—the literal translation of Sitzprobe—where the singers sing with the orchestra, focusing attention on integrating the two groups. It is often the first rehearsal where the orchestra and singers rehearse together. The equivalent Italian term is prova all'italiana. - wikipedia

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #89 on:** January 31, 2014, 12:47:20 PM »

In Italy, as I believe is true of Germany, the use of deodorant during a sitzprobe is optional.
