Today is the fourth anniversary of the death of my dear friend, orchestrator Russell Warner. I miss his phone calls, his sense of humor, and his talent.

I truly wish the good people would quit dying.

DR George, what is a cell phone parking lot? I envision lots of of tiny slots where everyone could leave their cell phones. But why would you want to?

Before, you had to go into the regular airport parking, find a space miles away from the actual arrival areas, meet up with your people, walk miles back to your car, pay for the time that you parked, and then you could leave.

A cell phone parking lot is an area where you can park at the airport...for free...and just wait for someone to call you on your cell phone to come pick them up when they've arrived from a flight.  It's great!

My sister only lives about 7 minutes from the airport. So when I have to pick someone up I just wait there and then they wait the 7 minutes till I get there. :)

Today I've eaten no sugar.  Of course, I haven't eaten anything today.  I wasn't sure I was going to, but I'm hungry now and my tummy's feeling better so off to Gelson's - fruit, carrots and maybe some chicken breasts.

Sami was much better today - and the show, while still two minutes faster than it should have been, ran smoothly.  So, I gave her a bunch of notes, told her where she was rushing and she'll work on those things tonight and tomorrow and before we actually do the thing.

That's good to hear. It's never easy to be or work with someone who takes you on an unplanned rollercoaster ride. I've had that happen to me and never knew what was right or wrong to say. Eventually the person forgot all about it, but I was shellshocked for a while. Glad when they got back to their normal ways.

Just finished reading Leonardo and The Last Supper by Ross King. Very good book. I like his writing style. Read one of his earlier books, Brunelleschi's Dome, which also was good.

There's always at least one new word when I read, and this book had: susurration (whispering sound, murmuring)(p.81) which I had not encountered before despite all of the reading I like to think I've done.

That sounds better than sitting in a parking lot.

Beautiful view you have there Jane

Thanks.  The higher up you go the better the views and building one has views of Mt. Hood.  We like the ground floor because walking outside feels more like having a yard.  The views of Mt Hood are in the earlier buildings which aren't as soundproof as the last two.  We are across the river from the airport and the train tracks are on the front side of the condos.  It is fun to watch & hear them while outside but quiet inside is more desirable, especially when sleeping.

There is really no parking lot to wait at I don't think.  How the airport used to be you could sort of pull over to the side.  But there are plenty of places nearby where you could pull over.  But I would rather have the person call me as they are getting their bags. Then they can just go to the pick up place while i drive there.  I am pretty used to going to the airport so I know exactly where to go.

DR Jennifer where are you having your birthday dinner this year?

I had no idea that where I was going was showing the Canadiens playoff hockey game. Or that it was starting at the same time we went. Or that they were going to play it with the volume on (most places mute the volume).  It was very loud for the first half.

I made another huge vat of chili; most of it's now in the freezer and some is in the fridge.

I learned how the conductor of a major new Broadway show that everyone hates got the job. It was not for his musical abilities. Big surprise.



The Broadway Casting Couch!

He does sleep around.  A lot.
First show: the composer
Second show: the producer
Third show: the director

But I hear everyone hates him because his conducting sucks.


Apparently, so does he.
