Well, you've read the notes, the notes had hysteria and were for the masses, and now it is time for you to post until the hysterical cows come home - they're currently having a bout of the herd MOOntality.

Happy Birthday to the Man of La Mancha. Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes was first published 400 year ago.

It was made into a "one song musical" as my father called it in 1964. I remember hearing that one song (The Impossible Dream) when it was sung by Robert Goulet (Not Hunter Parrish*) at the funeral service of Robert Kennedy. I asked my parents if the song was written for the funeral.

*See my post from yesterday.

TOD:

Don't ask me why, but the one word that comes to mind to explain the "herd mentality" on FB that you speak about is FEAR!

Wow! Another awesome Amazon review for MISS DINAH SHORE. This certainly makes my day.

Good morning, all! Last night's dreams are forgotten ones. However, Time Warner's television service is currently down, which is happening far too often these days, so I have no idea what's going on at "CBS This Morning," and I miss it.

Now that I have made the correction to the recording scores, i can photocopy everything this morning and contact the singer about getting the charts to her.

Waiting for (wait for it) the cable guy.

Of course the internet is working fine right now.

Much as I love HHW, when I log on to find there's been no posting in over 90 minutes or he site is down, I go right to Facebook because I know there's something to occupy my time for a bit. It's reconnected me with many missing friends from my past and I am grateful for that. I am also very blatantly using it to promote myself since I am looking for work and this morning a friend recommended an orchestration offer to me that I had to turn down because of the dates.

I find the constant irritation with Facebook here bothers me. People come and go everywhere, but I don't recall any new DRs here after DR DanM, whose absence always worries me. The last person I asked to check out HHW sadly stayed a very short time to never return.

I've asked former DR Dan(theMan) on my email and on Facebook why he left HHW, and he's never answered that question, although he's still friendly on Facebook. At times I feel the goal here is to keep the DRs who've left from coming back.

People change, moods change, times change, and Facebook could be gone tomorrow. Where is MySpace?

The new iMacs have removed the ability to play CDs or to burn them, and I think that was a really stupid decision. Like Facebook, MySpace, and other sites the next model could be different.

Today would be a good day for it to be Saturday.

And that's enough of me.

Some people on Facebook want to be the first to report something......so they don't investigate anything.

And some people are so certain that someone is out to get them, that they believe anything that might curtail their "rights" - even if it doesn't make any sense.

I do not like my avatar....I think I need to change it sometime.
