I saw a headline that said "America Runs on Unions," but my mind read "Onions."

Well Mr. Personality was in the cage at PetSmart, so Elvis is now in the cage at my house.

He is charcoal gray with a yellow face.....but he so far has been very very quiet.....

I think he will be more chirpy when he gets used to the place.  And it's probably the only time in his young life when he has been alone without a bunch of fellow birds around him.....  He seems to be about six weeks old and he only arrived at the store this morning - so he may still be a bit travel weary.

I’ve been asked to play keyboard 2 in the Sondheim revue (spelled review on the score) Putting It Together, for a one-night benefit concert in mid-November that will pay the band what amounts to little more than gas money. These things can be worth doing, of course, so ... we'll see. Looks like keyboard 1 does all the work throughout, with the second book being an easy to program, easy to play synth part. And that's precisely what might make it doable for me since I'll be deep into rehearsals for our run of Smorgasbord! in December. So like I said (but I do rather like saying it) ... we'll see.

Congratulations, DR Jrand72.

You are aware, of course, that some photographic evidence is in order?

Very happy for you, DR Jrand72. Did the bird come with the name, or is that your contribution?

Speaking of Sondheim, Eleri Ward's two Sondheim albums (the latest is released today) are interesting contemporary pop takes on the work of the Master.

The name came to me when I saw his color - I had never seen a charcoal gray parakeet before.....his tail feathers are black.

I shall take some photos in the next couple of days.  He is exploring his environment and checking out the mirrors.

No.  I forget which show you saw, but this will be down in Centralia where I did Mamma Mia! back in May.  That was the first show that I had been in there.

At 5:45 this morning, while at his computer, Keith heard someone try to open our front door.  He then checked our camera to see who was out there and found an intruder.  He thought it was the same guy who has been removed from our complex more than once.  Turned out it was someone new with a similar look.

They guy also went to a few other units and talked to someone in the garage, who kindly gave the poor, rather cold, shirtless guy a sweat shirt.

Our security service caught the guy and the police took him someplace.
