DR Matthew, I thought your car had been broken into several months ago. Was that another DR?  I'm so sorry.  I hope everything is retrievable.

It's been an interesting couple of days reconnecting with people i've not hard from in years. Very good.

I read through part of it.. You know, he cant even come up with a good explanation for her.. I shook my head as I read part of it. Basically he is calling us callous and liars. Sad commentary, actually.

To be honest I think there is a lot of coverup going on by the University. I seriously suspect she had something on someone. I found it very odd that an earlier provost was forced out and this guy took over. He was forced out about 2012 and he went back to teaching. He was friendly with the dean. Almost too freindly. When I was the library it was one of the few rare times i would see her crack a smile was with Bresciani and Schnell. IMHO, I think something was covered up and the University wants the press to remain quiet it on along with staff at the university.

Copy of a letter I posted on FB which talks about the last 24 hours.

Dear People that took advantage of going through my car because I didn't lock it:

Enjoy the show tunes and 70's music and array of vocalists on my iPod. Oh, and that Playlist that says "The Matt Tracks" - that's me.. I don't want to hear that any of those tracks get any sort of air play or wind up on youtube.

Also, that guitar is not really a Fender and it doesn't stay in tune when you play it. In fact, I was in the market for a new one, enjoy whatever you can out of it, or for the $29.99 you may get if you pawn it. It sucks.

But most of all, thank you for not damaging my car in any way. It makes everything else seem not so important anymore.

Matt

Having been through a burglary and suffering the aftermath (i.e., trying to work with the insurance company and figuring out what is missing), I am with you.

Jack, you can't find CastRecL because it's not an Internet site. It's a moderated e-mail list serve, much like the old e-mail sites of years ago at the beginning of the Internet.

The overall theme of the list is musical theatre but there are sometimes off-topic messages. You have to send a note to the moderator with a verifiable e-mail address. He then approves you and you start receiving the e-mail, either as they are sent or you can choose to get one e-mail every day which contains all the e-mails posted that day.

There is a regular coterie of posters (Larry among them) and there are hundreds (or perhaps even thousands though I doubt that number) of lurkers who may post once a year, or less. I am one of those lurkers. It's sometimes very interesting but also sometimes when someone gets a bee in their bonnet it can get tedious. There are some people on the list who feel they know everything there is to know about every aspect of musical theatre. They also feel there is only one opinion, theirs, and that opinion can't possibly have anything wrong with it because it's their opinion. All other opinions need not apply. That's when it gets tedious. If you get the e-mails as they come in you learn which people can be deleted without reading their post(s).

Poetry on ailurophilia day:

Why is it acceptable to feel this way about dogs yet cat lovers are laughed at?

Jane, the poem was from the cats point of view

Cats are interesting creatures.... I have not quite figured them out.. They can be sweet and then they can be moody.

Matt I am very sorry about your burglary - we went through that last fall when the Vixter's car was broken into and all her art supplies were stolen.  I appreciate your sincerity in being thankful that no damage was done -  in her case the drivers side window was smashed with a piece of concrete and there are still slivers of glass turning up months later

VIBES you are able to retrieve your music

TCB I too failed to tell you  how much I like your new avatar ---


my very favorite of your avatars though, is the one where you are bearded, and  in profile facing right. It was from one of your shows, I think, but I am not sure which one.

DR Matthew, I'm sorry about the break-in, but you are right: you're fortunate that your car itself wasn't damaged. I hope you're able to replace your music without too much trouble.

I've liked them all, but the one Vixmom just mentioned is probably my favorite, too.

Holy Communion, Batman, some of the grammatical/verbal mistakes in this story are hilarious. Thankfully, I have never mixed up the words Eucharist and uterus.

Funny.  With constant use some of these might become acceptable foods in the dictionary. 



You learn something every day.... I didn't even know the dictionary approved foods!

Good morning, all! I slept very well and I thank DR Jeanne for sending those vibes my way. I'm running late, so I have to get to physical therapy.  I'm a bit addled at the moment since I cannot locate my cell phone.  I might have left it at Toyland, and I'll look for it there tomorrow, but it's go me rattled.

You're quite welcome. I'm glad you got a good night's sleep.

When I can't find something it's usually right where it's supposed to be and I just didn't see it. I'm very good at looking right at something and not seeing it. I've learned to keep looking at where it's supposed to be.
