Oh, STABAT Mater. What does that mean exactly - Stab the Mother? Is this where Psycho came from?

I have no idea what ANY of it means. I just know (knew?) how to pronounce it when (if) I sing (sang) it. I'd been in choirs from seventh grade all the way through five years of college. No Latin singing since, but it's very easy to remember how to pronounce it.

And a Happy Birthday to (former) DR Ron Pulliam!

Well, this is really cool! I don't know how long it'll last, or if it'll be archived once the live feed is over, but here's a LIVE Astronaut Spacewalk from the International Space Station!

Good morning, all!

I awoke to a flurry of monotonous emails and false allegations from an irritating person. As other victims on his poison pen list know, it does no good to block him; he just changes email addresses.

This morning at 10 I'm getting my first hair cut since God knows when. I hope they don't charge me for two.

BK, Stabat Mater means "the mother stands," and it's a part of the Easter tradition of Jesus' mother standing beneath the cross and watching him die for all our sins, a concept I still don't understand. A lot of composers set the Latin text to music: Pergolesi, Haydn, Dvorak. Scarlatti, Pärt, Macmillan, Poulenc . . .

After seeing my barber, I will wheel my walker home and maybe work for a bit on the orchestration I'm doing to keep my mind working.

First, kitty cleanuo, then a bath.

Bear Manor Media has just published my book, "MERV: The Final Chapter," the 3rd edition and last update of my Merv Griffin biography, originally published in 1976.

Working on this book with Merv Griffin was a pleasure. He was so pleased with the final result that he had me as a guest on his talk show.

DR Jeanne, have you seen this "Miss Fisher" spinoff? I don't think it's hit the NYC PBS stations yet.

Yesterday I had the worst allergy day than I’ve had in a long time. I actually thought it was another head cold like the one a few weeks ago, so I popped a DayQuil for some relief, and it did absolutely nothing. Later in the day, I realized that the characteristics were really those of allergies, and I decided to wait it out till evening and then take a Benadryl to sleep on. Well, that proved to be the perfect thing. I had a solid sleep and woke up feeling rested and, more important, dry.

Now I’m thinking that the previous head cold was the same damned thing. It lasted longer, but I believe I didn’t do the right things for it. It’s not the first time I’ve been fooled by this. Summer allergy attacks can be wicked, and thinking back, August is my month for it.

I’m enjoying BK’s journey through the Verdi Requiems.

The Reiner will be interesting because it’s with Vienna, not Chicago, and the recording engineers are probably the RCA British/European ones. I look forward to hearing how that and the Leinsdorf RCA teams do with recording it in comparison with the Columbia.

I was struggling to stay awake last night then happily lost the battle.

TCB, I meant my plan was not to get the flu this season. I do plan to get the shot later this month.

I am home from the new barber, and I am very happy with the experience. I am even happier to lose all that hair.

One of my favorite Sherman Bros. songs in LEGERITY!

I am watching the space walk. Thanks for the link DR GEORGE.

Very entertaining and interesting!

I had a couple of shirts like that DR GEORGE and I always just figured it was somebody's first day at the fabric loading machine.

My question for ASK BK DAY:

Do you think She of the Evil Eye has a nickname for you? What do you think it is?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #27 on:** September 02, 2020, 07:27:14 AM »

I know what you mean DR ELMORE.

I just said, cut it as short as possible. It will grow back. I sort of look like a Yul Brynner with a four-day growth.....I can live with that.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #28 on:** September 02, 2020, 07:28:50 AM »

Like DR JANE I have a some prescriptions to pick up.

I shall do that tomorrow, and stop by Pet Supplies Plus to buy some food for Birdy Barnum.

I am also looking for something to help his beak. He has lost interest in his cuttlebone, and it has overgrown a bit.

DR TCB my question about a cat being comfortable with your wheelchair wasn't about Sandy the cat, just about any cat you might consider getting.

I never really thought about it until I recently saw a sweet story about a boy in a wheelchair and his cat. The family wanted to find a cat that wasn't skittish about the chair and this cat immediately jumped into the boy's lap and now follows him everywhere.
