Good Morning.  Congrats to BK on finishing the book - where there never was a book.  Which reminds me that I never did purchase last years book, I guess I should get on that - being a completest you know....

At work, in my classroom while the kids sing at this particular mass this morning.  Sometimes I sit in and play guitar, other times I just leave for the time.

My fourth floor neighbor Steve Williford, who was living in the building when I moved in 40 years ago, is a director for the soap The Young and the Restless. These days, since the soap films in LA, he's in New York maybe once a month for 2-5 days. We spoke on Friday, and I mentioned my frustrations with the apartment management doing nothing to provide a chair for the laundry room. This morning he sent me these two photos.





That's great, Larry!!

Speaking of my neighbors, I haven't seen Ann and Jen in two weeks. Ann's been busy with school and her weekends have been taking care of her elderly parents in Boston. Jen's spent most of her time in Stamford, CT, with her father, who died this last week:

Oh, no.  My condolences to Jen and her family. :(

I have not heard from Jeremy since his return from vacation, so I suspect he is not interested in illustrating Annabelle & Thatch. So I guess, like The Wind in the Willows, it will be published without illustrations.

Darn. :-\

What a great idea, DR John G.!!

A new television series....    THE GRAY-DY BUNCH. It's set in a retirement community.

That's funny! :))

Here's a pretty stunning choral rendition of Enya's song from Lord of the Rings.

That was very nice.

As I suspected, the magnets ;D

Never having one with the sleep mode like this before, I really had no idea.

John & George, do you have Libby synced between devices?  I have one into my first issue, the sync goes away once I close the app on my tablet requiring me to sync it each time I open it.

I am reading Dennis Shrock's Choral Repertoire, a 1,000-page tome. I'm trying to do a little synchronized listening. Right now, I'm listening to madrigals.

The nymphs and shepherds are definitely fa-la-la-la-laying.

That sounds like two key features that shouldn't have been removed.
