What a harrowing and sad story, DR Jrand64. I can't even imagine.

Thanks for posting the family photos.

No customers at the moment.

I am here for 7 hours. This morning I put out a water bottle to bring with me, but it seems to have been misplaced somewhere along the way.

I did remember my lunch, though, thank goodness!

I'm on a roll: I just had inquiry about availability for orchestrating part of a December NY Philharmonic holiday concert, and i have a small recording job in October.

No word yet on the job i said yes to,. but the new moon begins today, so . . .

I hope this all means the slump is over.

We have a long, beautiful walking path along the water.  We know people who also bike it.  Keith would like to get a bike and othets have suggested it.  I would love to do also get one but am too afraid of sometghing happening that would cause me to fall off.  The path is concrete.

As long as you are comfortable riding a bike i would not be concerned about falling off. I have never fallen off mine, although I do have to keep an eye out around the lake for branches or rocks.  You could always get one of those adult three wheelers if you are worried about having an accident.

Yes, DR Jrand, your family story is sad and yet is part of your family's history, reminiscent of a time that seems so far away.

I am in mourning over the death of Sir Christopher Lee, one of my all-time favorites. My friends knowing my affection for him, and having seen him play Count Dooku in the otherwise execrable first two STAR WARS prequels (to bookend his Hammer horror colleague Peter Cushing's appearance in Part IV, known as the original Star Wars), nicknamed me Dooku, or as it's sometimes spelled Dukoo. So, that's one of many nicknames that have stuck to me over the years.

Here's the great Lee singing operatically, as an homage of sorts to his Italian mother (she was a countess):

I am sure no one has seen this weird Australian film, CAPTAIN INVINCIBLE, that starred Alan Arkin (great in a bad movie) and Christopher Lee (as the bad guy, of course). It's a musical, and Arkin and Lee sing a duet (sort of):

The late great Ron Moody singing for the second time, Reviewing the Situation in OLIVER!, this time as a denouement. He effectively changes the mood of the song, leaving things in a kind of hopeful way:

Vegetables I do not like and that do not like me:

Raw onion (cooked okay)
Wax beans (just the name alone)
Rhubarb (passable in a pie drowned with sugar and strawberries)
Lima beans (they look like kidneys, not really an organ meat a/k/a variety meat fan)
Kale
Rutabaga
Escarole (not the Good Times co-star)

I'm sure I'm leaving (not a pun) something out.

Christopher Lee is the King on this complete recording.  It could have been so much better since the cast and conductor are good, but i find it just a bit tepid. In its defense, I thought the Tony clip of the new production, which didn't impress me, makes this recording look even better.
