I had this strange dream set in a nice suburban tree-filled landscapre, somewhere between Trenton Ohio and Middletown Ohio.  The beginning and setup are largely forgotten, something about a relatively young child with reading (?) issues whom I had driven to his nice suburban home. I might have been his tutor, and there was a card - get well, thank you -  to be signed. The child's mother was a real estate agent, I think, and she was preparing a dinner party. For reasons I no longer recall, I put the card into the oven, and when I opened the oven door, there was a human leg, from knee to toe, roasting. It was the maion course for the dinner party. I wasn't surprisded ore upset - the dream was not a frightening nightmare - but the mother wqas m,ostly concerned about the cooking time.

For the October issue of my mag, I recently wrote the true story of a leg (also from knee-to-toe) that one of my sisters found in the cemetery between our elementary school and our home.

In doing a Google search on The News, I discovered there was a London production the year after it's four performances on Broadway. Why?

Someone really believed in it.

The Colts just defeated the Bears in a sloppy game. A divisive game for my family, as most live in the part of Indiana that roots for the Bears, whereas I chose loyalty to the team in my state.

The lack of intellectual rigor by much of the populace has been a real disappointment.

Thank you, DR Rodzinski!  You might find it amusing that my recent Netflix binge was a rewatch of the entirety of “Six Feet Under.”

Tonight's our first performance of the new season. My wife and I will be singing in a Schoenberg recital-lecture series in Berkeley. Our chorus will sing Friede auf Erden and Dreimal tausend Jahre. We'll actually sing each piece twice, with a lecture and examples in between. I've never done something like this before. Friede is a gorgeous romantic piece of early Schoenberg, while Dreimal is a late serial piece.

When I was going to Western Washington University and in the WWU Concert Choir, one of our composition instructors wrote a choral piece in Latin, but it was all nonsense grammar.  He used actual Latin words but put them together so that they sounded like English.  Before we sang the piece, he explained what he did, and said that we would sing it twice because a listener can't always hear what's going on the first time.

So we sang it once, then he said a few words before we sang it again.  It really made a difference, even as a performer, to go through the performance twice.

DR George that is a lot of calendars to have saved.  I used to save most of my wall calendars.  Now I just save a few.  I write in them and sometimes I transfer information incorrectly so I like to be able to double check my info.

Yes, I do collect things other than keychains...but at least I have only saved the Futurama calendars.

:)

I have been letting go, or reducing my collections.  Calendars take up a lot of room in a drawer.

I don't have them I a drawer or on my walls.  I have them in a stack so that they don't take up a lot of room.  Now, I just need to find 2009!

JB is happy. I bought some pears today, which he hasn’t had in a while.

Nice!
