I'm glad you enjoyed your monarchs last year enough to plant milkweed for this year's generation. Thank you.

He can't go, his passport is expired, he had just put in the paperwork last weekend

That must really be painful. I'm so sorry.

But it can be rushed due to the emergency.

Condolences to Vixmom and dad. Remember when you didn't need passports to Canada?

Worked at the piano, listening to something I may choose to issue at some point, another historic performance of a classical work, this one an opera, it's very interesting as a performance and I think our Chris Malone could clean it up nicely.

bk · « **Reply #74 on:** April 25, 2018, 04:45:07 PM »

Will work at the piano in a bit - have an idea for a little song that is kind of a party thing that won't really be a full song, but just a verse or two with some dance music.

bk · « **Reply #75 on:** April 25, 2018, 04:45:17 PM »

Have I mentioned what the musical is?

bk · « **Reply #76 on:** April 25, 2018, 04:47:48 PM »

Okay I will: Doug had an idea to do a female-centric version of A Christmas Carol, with a female Scrooge, Cratchit, Tiny Tim, etc, along with female past, present, and future ghosts (not ghosts in our version) and set in current times. I liked the idea and the Group Rep committed to it. I'm having a lot of fun with the score, I must say. He original had some convoluted silly title for it, but I insisted that the Scrooge gal be named Carol and that the title be A Carol Christmas - which it is, and which I think is pretty fun and clever.

Pets also need passports to cross the border.

Jane · « **Reply #78 on:** April 25, 2018, 04:58:55 PM »

We made a number of trips to Canada when we lived in Michigan. The border was an under an hour away, through Detroit to Windsor. We would have lunch or dinner, shop at the duty free shop, and return home.

Yesterday there were eleven Amazon reviews for GEE, today there are ten - what happened? I think they're all there and I can't figure out which one isn't there.

ChasSmith's review has disappeared. That's very peculiar - I've asked him to ask them why.

Jane · « **Reply #81 on:** April 25, 2018, 05:04:51 PM »

You don't have to get a passport. You can get a special license's or id cards that will let you go back and forth between the US and Canada by car.

Carol is a good name

My friend Carol would like that show.

My sympathies and prayers, Vixmom and Vixdad.

In the cast recording for Jerry's Girls during "We Need a Little Christmas," Carol Channing says "I'm your Christmas Carol!" I know it's a cheezy joke, but I still like it.

Thunderstorms this afternoon caused the temps to drop 20 degrees.
