Glad to see Galavant was renewed, especially after having met Timothy Omundson at the ALS Gala.

In the Canvas MOOC class I'm taking, this week's assignment was to (for the beginner) write a pantoum. I wrote one and the students who left comments seemed to like it. I think it still needs work, but I am my own worst critic:

Changeable weather, clouds and rain,
Cold and snow, ice and slush,
Longing for days to soothe my pain
Swathed by plants, green and lush

Cold and snow, ice and slush
Were familiar friends when I was young
Swathed by plants, green and lush
I would hear the tunes the birds had sung

Where, familiar friends when I was young
No longer near but moved away
I would hear the tunes the birds had sung
Memories held close yet kept tears at bay

No longer near but moved away
As years go by, I can’t complain
Memories held close, yet keep fear at bay
Changeable weather, clouds and rain

Nice, DR Dan M!

Thank you very much for the compliment!

Yes, it was a surprise for a network to take a chance on such a creative show. ABC could have easily trotted out another variation of Shark Tank, or America's Funniest Videos. Remember when Who Wants To Be A Millionaire first started on ABC after being imported from Europe, the ratings were so high, ABC ran it too much and ran it into the ground as a primetime show. It's on daytime, so it's still a big revenue generator. Have a hit daytime TV, you can be the next Judge Judy or Oprah.

Well, I must be off. My friend Margo and her friend Marsha (whose birthday is also May 5) are meeting at a local restaurant, Budd Bay Café, for a combined birthday dinner.

George · « **Reply #126 on:** May 08, 2015, 06:16:23 PM »

After that, I'm going to a local bar called Ben Moore's to hear a co-worker sing with a guitarist. They do kind of jazzy arrangements of songs. Her show actually starts at 6:30, but it's supposed to last until 9:30, so I should have plenty of time to see at least part of her show. Then, I'll be home. Busy evening for me!

Be back later!

I decided I needed to tell a few people we are moving next week-lol

Jane · « **Reply #128 on:** May 08, 2015, 06:52:59 PM »

The movers said if they finish packing on Wednesday, vs Thursday, they will load us on Thursday. That would be a bit inconvenient as far as I'm concerned.

Keith is changing my computer over to my new laptop tomorrow.

The rep for the moving company came back out to re-do our estimate. Our hard work these last weeks has paid off. We dropped our weight about 5,000 pounds.

If I did that I might just fit into last summer's clothes

Jane · « **Reply #131 on:** May 08, 2015, 06:54:59 PM »

The rush is on to finish packing, etc. I'm not sure how much time I will have to play with my new computer, or even use it except for business. I will try to stop in for a little bit, however, if I skip any days during this last week don't worry.

Elmore I always mean to ask. Why don't you take the subway? Is it because of the stairs?

Actually, we had ridiculously cold weather today. My Birding Buddy and I were shivering this morning.

Thanks! If this makes any sense: it was difficult in a fun sort of way.

The last time I rode Greyhound was circa 1991, and that was a lousy experience. The bus had no shock absorbers and seemed to have been invaded by lovely plumes of garlic, sweat and belches. All I have read and heard seems to indicate things have gotten worse despite the company having been taken over by a multinational concern, yadda yadda. The fact remains that the stations are wretched and are in the middle of nowhere even when they are in a city, there's nothing around, or even worse there's nothing around worth going to to spend the layover time. Then, there's panhandling, sketchy people who may take something, and God-knows what else. Besides being accosted by some gang member, I'm always worried about getting sick and having to use a restroom. I am a worry-wart, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to worry about.

They are expecting almost 18 inches of snow in Rapid City South Dakota, how crazy is that!
