So you rave about this French movie but neglect to give us the title.

Les Choristes (The Chorus). I agree with Bruce, a must see movie.

So what did win best foreign film?

Before I move on to Saturday, here's a few porpoises that have been bobbing around town.

For example:

Do you realize that if I had STAYED married that this year would be something like my thirty-seventh wedding anniversary? How horrifying is THAT?

LOL-horrifying for sure.

Wednesday is our 36th and thank God my reaction is one of joy.

DRLaura the photo of the chocolate cake was pure torture as I am on a diet. The photo of Scotty however is precious, and though tempting he is all yours.

Hisaka I look forward to the photo of you dancing.

SWW I think that Liberty pose is a bit scary.

In 7th grade I took the violin and did well enough to compete for the first three chairs. The second half of the year we had to tune our own instruments and that was the end of my violin playing. I was fortunate not to end up last chair. I’m sure I tortured my family with my playing. Years later Bryan got me back when he briefly took lessons at school.

I begged and begged my mother to let me have piano lessons and she refused. After listening to my older siblings practice their lessons she didn’t want to go through that again. So my siblings could play but I couldn’t. I learned one song, On Top of Old Smokey. Unfortunately I can’t read notes anymore.

Ok folks, here is the test. I'm on the laptop, using my backup battery for power and I just took and resized some photos on the lap top. Let's see what we get.

Here is my lemon tree.

Jane, I had that problem with the guitar as well. That put a big dent in my progress.

DR Danise - It looks like your pics "worked"!

I just received the cutest E-mail. I ordered a CD and this is what I got as a confirmation that it was sent:

Your CD has been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.

A team of 50 employees inspected your CD and polished it to make sure it was in the best possible condition before mailing.

Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over the crowd as he put your CD into the finest gold-lined box that money can buy.

We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of Portland waved 'Bon Voyage!' to your package, on its way to you, in our private CD Baby jet on this day, Monday, May 30th.

I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did.
Your picture is on our wall as 'Customer of the Year'. We're all exhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!

Thank you once again,

Hmmm... I'm actually thinking of heading down to Richmond in a little while. A friend is having a cookout tonight, and I can crash at his place and then head back up tomorrow...

Hmm...

And y'all must be too much in awe of the word of the day to use it.

What do you want me to do with THIS?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #82 on:** May 30, 2005, 10:27:08 AM »

Piano lessons - still can play a little bit.
Guitar lessons - only two, couldn't get it.

Dance of all types and gymnastics. I can still dance, but I have done my last backbend, walkover, OR backflip.

bk · « **Reply #83 on:** May 30, 2005, 10:40:05 AM »

I shall now be on my way to Vinnie's. Keep the home fries burning, and I'll try to post from his house.

elmore, I'm a shy singer...strictly shower and car and places where the world at large cannot hear me...though I do it all the time. The Lovely Wife, the real vocalist in the family, is always very complimentary and encouraging, telling me I have a nice voice. She heard me whistling a rather complex Miklos Rozsa piece once (I'm a very good whistler...eat your heart out, Muzzy Marcelleno and Elmo Tanner) and said: "Let me hear that again." After I complied she commented: "Just as I thought. You have perfect pitch." How she knew this, whether it's true or not, and just what perfect pitch is, I have no idea.

TOD - I started piano lessons when I was 5 and continued with them, through my second year in college. I started the flute in 4th grade and was a flute performance major during my first year in college. I pretty much gave it up after that, except I still get it out once in a while just for fun. I played piccolo in college marching band....we did a dance with the tuba's during one half time show.

Let's see, I taught myself the guitar, and a number of other instruments - clarinet, sax etc. and also had voice lessons for a very short time in high school.
