From DR Vixmom:

Vixter's nametag  read "Arwyn"  one of the characters in the Lord of the Rings movies

See Bruce, not Goth.  DR Vixter is a beautiful elf princess.

Tonight I heard pianist Stephen Hough play the Rachmaninoff Variations on a Theme of Paganini.  Delightful!

The Prokofiev symphony which followed, while it had its moments, was not my favorite.

Bruce, I'm very pleased to hear you're doing a CD of your songs. I know that Sandy likes your songwriting very much and I'm sure it'll be a delight.

Read a very moving article about a father and his autistic son.

The article explains how the son loved Disney films and this became a sort of portal to the outside world.

Re recycling tapes, many community recycling organizations now have websites that tell you how to recycle various items. I've referred to LA's several times.

Or, since the tapes can be reused, could you just sell them very, very cheaply at the book sales? I like Jrand's idea of offering them to schools.

Sorry to read about all the delivery mishaps. We had terrible mail service when I lived in Virginia. I would get my neighbors' mail all the time--same number, different street. One year there was a big inspection at the regional postal center. THREE bills failed to arrive at all--and that's just from the mail I was expecting. God knows whatever else was missing. I think someone "cleaned up" the postal center. I tried phoning the post office, but received no satisfaction whatsoever. I was just told repeatedly that it wasn't the mail carrier's fault, which of course I'd never claimed. I was just trying to report the problems. A few months later I learned that our area was given a commendation for the best postal service in Virginia!!!

Bruce, when you've finished with HOUSE OF CARDS you should watch HOUSE OF CARDS (British version). Ian Richardson is wonderful.
