Well, you've read the notes, the notes were broad and had horizons, and now it is time for you to post until the broad cows come home.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Listening to the Laurette master.  I knew it sounded better than the previous release, but I wasn't sure how MUCH better until I played both opening tracks back to back - it's HUGELY better, and so is Rashomon, which sounded good on the first release but sounds amazing here.

Can't go to sleep until I finish listening so I can approve.  Ten more minutes.  The biggest improvement is Death of a Salesman, which is actually listenable now - twelve years ago none of this was possible and I hated the way Salesman sounded but it was either that or don't issue at all.  This is a massive upgrade - it's not ever going to sound pristine, but wow.

Today is Wednesday and that can mean only one thing.  Thirty percent off for seniors and Goodwill.

I shall peruse the fleas and then come home and work on my review which MR BK can indeed look forward to.

Still suffering. I didn’t have any real Benedryl in the house and the generic just doesn’t work for me.

That’s horrible. Do you take the pink capsules, or what? Store brands work fine for me, but I think  you have much more severe allergies.

I just spoke to Joshie about tomorrow's orchestra reading of High Button Shoes and a possible trip next week to SUNY New Paltz for a treasure hunt.

The Borowitz joke "Trump names Lori Loughlin Education Secretary" is actually too close to being better than who we  actually have.  :)

Actually, Lori Loughlin seems to care way way too much, which is awful for what she did, but might arguably be the right passion level for the country,

but legal limits should have been observed!

Just as an example:  It seems to me that if Felicity Huffman and Bill Macy had done a theater arts seminar at the college for a semester or two, so many students would have gained something - and then their kids getting in on some legacy type idea for their folks being teachers would be  legal, even if nepotism,  whatever  anyone feels about the legal ways kids get into schools.  How would it be different than someone donating for a wing of a building and their kids getting in.  It's not fair either, but somehow everyone knows about things like that and goes along with it.
