I expect today will be a long day at City Center. Since Joshie hates the way I tape orchestra parts, his brother Jeremy will be doing that. I suspect my biggest task will be transferring markings from orchestra parts we are no longer using to new orchestra parts. I hope everything goes quickly since I do not want either Joshie or myself staying late. We have to be alert for tomorrow morning's rehearsal before the sitzprobe. We have five or six new charts to play down and check for errors as well as running through the charts with fixes.

So, DRs who are coming into Manhattan next week, when are you arriving?

I received an email that my taxes have been electronically filed and accepted.

Last night I started re-viewing the wonderful BBC production of I, Claudius, with Sian Phillips and Derek Jacobi. I had read the two Robert Graves novels when I was a college Latin major, along with Graves' novels Hercules, My Shipmate and King Jesus.

vixmom, are my messages getting through? Just checking if those mp3 files came through so you could hear them OK.

Today, which feels like a Monday (see: previous two days), is a Thursday, an at-home day in which I will do some work in the Music Room while helping to clean some crap up from the ~~weekend~~ previous two days in preparation for the houseguest who arrives tomorrow for the real weekend.

Vixmom, did you decide on a crock pot recipe?

The few at the top of a Google search are all pretty similar. Looks like they call for eight or nine hours slow cooking, and I believe these are all for one (1) corned beef.

I'm thinking now that since I'm cooking four of the beasts, I'll do the larger ones my usual way, and do one in the crock pot. Got to branch out. Got to give myself a potential break in the cooking chores. Got to learn to trust these things. Got to see what the difference in results is, if any. Got to keep up with those vixes.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #48 on:** March 16, 2017, 06:19:19 AM »

They have you slow-cooking the veggies along with the beef. That's another good thing for me to compare, because I customarily cook mine separately.

DR Elmore: I'll be coming in Saturday morning to meet wherever the gang is going to meet.

However, if anyone wants to do anything Thursday or Friday, I'll probably be free to pop into town then, too.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #50 on:** March 16, 2017, 06:25:48 AM »

Pre-op vibes to Druxy and stay-healthy vibes to all. This is no time to be coming down with anything.

Stop me if this was discussed about the Oscars hoo-ha.

I just watched the clip again of the Best Picture announcement, and it seems clear that a reasonable person (that would probably be Warren Beatty) saw the winner named as "Emma Stone, La La Land", tried to point it out to Faye Dunaway, who basically laughed it off and despite knowing "Emma Stone, La La Land" could not possibly be the winner of Best Picture, announced "La La Land" anyway. So Warren Beatty stood there knowing it was a mistake.

I guess I think the wrath being brought on the CPA firm (and I guess I'm biased about CPAs and their responsibility for totally innocent mistakes which cause no real damage or harm) seems overwrought. Of course, they shouldn't have handed them the wrong envelope, but a reasonable person would have known the contents of the envelope were wrong, wouldn't he or she?

Some accounting thoughts this tax season.

Chas and Elmore (and vixmom as a possibility if you can escape work early) -

Are you still on for that early-ish dinner on Tuesday April 18, when DR Matthew (with whom I sense you both have lots in common in terms of the work you do) is in town?

I should probably book a reservation somewhere since Tuesdays seem to be a popular early dinner night on The Broad Way due to Tues 7 pm curtains.

"The Desk Set" -- it's far more amusing today than it was in 1957 because the computer therein took up a huge space in a building and used cards. So forward-looking at the time and so antiquated today.
