Well, you've read the notes, the notes laughed like an opera singer, and now it is time for you to post until the laughing cows come home.

BK, about the opera laugh...when I was in college, I remember learning why they did this. Opera singers do everything they can to protect their voice and they feel that laughing (real laughing, at least) can be harmful to their instrument, so they use their learned technique and actually sing their laughing.

...unless whoever told me that was talking out of their ass.

I’ve heard something similar. I hate that sound.

The cats went crazy around 6:15, and when Annabelle started jumping onto the bookcases, I decided it was time to get up and feed them.

I have to step out around 9:30 to see the pain specialist who's been giving me the epidurals. This is an office visit, so I have no idea what will occur.

Cats are sleeping contentedly somewhere, and the laundry is in the machines.

Yikes. Who do I think I am today? DR Elmore?
