Well, you've read the notes, the note futzed and finessed, and now it is time for you to post until the futzed and finessed cows come home.

So that's where mine went. 

I'm not sick or anything, but you wouldn't have known that from the sound of my voice this morning.

I'm looking forward to reading BK's book.  And I'm not even trying to guess what it might be about.

So what's in store for today?

Mostly musical work for me, I think.  I'm planting my ass on the keyboard bench and figuring out some things.

I also want to put on that Stokowski album BK listened to. 

I think I have it.  I HOPE I have it.

One long interesting dream, covering much of the usual ground while introducing new elements which I can't bring into focus enough to make sense of, even to myself.

I have to go for a recheck on the dental surgery. I hope he doesn't poke around much; it is still tender.

I was up too late reading The Cambridge Companion to Jane Austen.  I slept really really well, though, and I am bathed, dressed, and ready to accomplish several things today.

This morning I will finish the first chorus of "Take Me Back To Manhattan" so I can show it to Rob Berman this afternoon, when I see him at City Center.  At City Center, I will pick u my second payment and then head yo the bank.

TCB mentions Snoqualmie Pass.  I have never been to the state of Washington, but that name will always and forever mean Twin Peaks to me.

Thanks for the update on A Place, Elmore. I'll keep an eye out for the DVD at the library, which they post whenever they place the order.

I like most of Elmore's list, except for Gone With the Wind, which was too dual personality for me. Mitchell rips the South apart before the war, then misses the South after the war.
