DR Elmore, regarding employment, I hope you see a new door opening very soon.

EMPLOYMENT VIBES!!

Thank you, DR Jeanne!

To show how the mark tree and a lackadaisical attitude can lead to sheer chaos, I have been pondering for several days now the idea of contacting the previous foundation I was with from 2001-2011, since the person there who referred to me and my team as thieves  contacted me in February about coming back. Now that is CHAOS!

Several times in my own life I've been unhappy with a situation, but saw no better option and, since life isn't perfect, I tried to grin and bear it, only to see the situation degrade further, leaving me no choice but to leave it -- or to watch others undo it. Perhaps some situations just have an unknowable shelf-life. Each time this has happened I think I've been better off. Very difficult to go through, though.

This is me singing the role of Figaro a few years back.


I have no recollection why it was decided to dye my hair black.




Sing, I would have never recognized you!

The "downward dog" is one of the first positions I have learned in my beginning yoga classes:




And the instructor turned into a dog to demonstrate it? Or perhaps he/she has a yoga-proficient menagerie?

To answer my own question from a few days ago:

Meatloaf traditionally includes ketchup or tomato sauce, whereas Salisbury Steak traditionally does not. In addition, Salisbury Steak is traditionally served with a rich brown gravy.


But otherwise, they're pretty closely related, ingredients-wise.

In my experience (limited, to be sure), meatloaf uses ground meat, whereas Salisbury steak does not. I recall my mother pounding the meat she used for Salisbury steak.

An Important Update:

Friend and I are blowing off going to Jaws tonight.  Too much to do, too tired, etc. etc. etc.  This is all well and good. 

I'll finish programming this Ave. Q keyboard book which is mainly piano, which I thought would involve maybe a dozen patch changes, but I'm up to nearly fifty with a few scenes to go.  Some of those are temporary rehearsal things, but still.

Am I right in understanding that the "Songs of New York" album was a 3-LP set issued by Book-of-the-Month?

Those were excellent -- at least the one or two I remember hearing.  And I think I have a Sondheim one.  They, like Readers Digest, issued some amazing recordings.

I don't know how many there were, but I almost never came across them in secondhand shops and the like.  One of those things people never gave away.

Yes, there were three LPs. I had bought a large quantity as 1984 Christmas gifts, and a friend I had acted with in dinner theatre asked me for a CD set. It was the first time i had ever heard a compact disc player, and I shortly afterward bought myself one.

Back from an effortless session - my horn and reed players are superb studio musicians - basically rehearsed with the track once, and then nailed it every time, for each track.  Then we did three tiny piano fixes - so the album should now all sound great for the band and singers.  So, tomorrow or Monday my engineer and I will discuss the parameters of the other problem, although I truly am leaning toward saying absolutely not.  That will not be popular with the money folks but I have the final say on these matters, not them.  Whether I can convince them that if I make that decision that it's the right decision for the album is anyone's guess.

From your posts I didn't realize you are a vegan.  What do you eat instead of these foods?

DR Jane - I've only been eating vegan a few years, but my protein sources are primarily tofu, beans, seitan, tempeh, and soy-based substitutes.


If I couldn't eat soy, it would be pretty difficult.

Since the foundation did that in February, doesn't that suggest they'd realized they had made a mistake?

I honestly have no idea what it suggests.

At the session I did have a bagel with cream cheese, but we decided no Astroburger today - maybe tomorrow or Monday after we mix.
