Now I think I'll get some sleep.,Good!!! I too am glad you came to this decision.Well, I didn't get much sleep, I tossed and turned. So I went to the office today, mainly to measure and see if the desk, credenza and table I want to put in my new office area will fit (they will!) While I was there I decided to send Bob an email. I told him I would gladly discuss it with him but wanted him to know what I was thinking about so he could think about it before we talked. I told him he was welcome to stay, but that I wasn't making any more changes and there wasn't going to be room for his wife/secretary so that when he got to that point he needed to look somewhere else. I did also suggest checking for other space in our building as it makes the move and address change easier as the mail man will deliver to your address even if it has the wrong suite number on it. I have no idea when he'll get it, but it's been said and he'll be able to decide if he wants to stay in the room he has or start looking. My guess is he'll stay until he's really ready to bring in his wife or he'll look for another office share situation. We'll see.Good luck Cilla!

Quote from: John G. on March 29, 2014, 01:49:41 PMBack from the barbecue visit. The Korean barbecue blogger was really nice, but he didn't speak much English, so it was hard trying to communicate with him. Yet he loved a few of the dishes that he hadn't found anywhere else on his week-long tour of Texas. They included having grape soda with barbecue and having his first barbecue-style giant stuffed potato. The man behind the counter weighed it and the potato by itself was 1.7 pounds. Then it was filled with butter, cheese and chopped brisket in sauce. Actually, everyone at the table liked that. He was really impressed with the pecan cobbler, and he liked it that I corralled the owner to come over and talk with us. Was the cobbler also barbecued?

Quote from: ChasSmith on March 29, 2014, 09:41:12 AMQuote from: singdaw on March 29, 2014, 08:48:33 AMDR ChasSmith - I think it is interesting that the local high school crams all their rehearsing with the accompanist (namely, you) into one day, rather than preparing in the weeks before the concert. I suppose it is more convenient for you to do it all in one day, but also more hair raising.No, it's fine, and not hair-raising at all, because the choral groups have spent weeks on the music, their director has banged it out well enough that they're somewhat used to the accompaniment, and it's rarely anything too difficult from my standpoint. So the one rehearsal that day with each group gets the job done. It's actually a godsend, because in years past, they'd have me down there (Norwalk) a couple of times prior, and that was a waste of time and commuting. Re HAIRSPRAY, I would normally not be joining till tech week (latter part of April), but since I'll be there anyway, this will give us all a chance to find out what the hell's going on, with me and a guitarist joining the orchestra for the first time. It's a chance for them to have the rhythm section, and we'll know what to go away and work on. I think I'm being left with all three keyboard books, which is not at all doable, but they can only hire so many people so we'll be figuring out what's most important from each of them.Thank goodness they are going to find out what the Hell is going on with you. We have all been wondering.

Quote from: vixmom on March 29, 2014, 10:59:24 AMis there a rule that all schools must perform the same show each year? Ben and Anthony are attending a HS production of Hairspray today - the local school is rehearing it now for a performance next week and Chas is involved with one as well - I believe Obama signed HIGH SCHOOL HAIRSPRAY into law in January

Quote from: Cillaliz on March 29, 2014, 10:46:13 AMIt's also my guess that he'll be very surprised. That's why I wanted to give him time to think about it before we talk.Had he asked about his additions and you initially said yes? He might be surprised but I personally think he should understand.
