I rather say the one cd I looked forward most to this past year was the release of a new recording of the late Nancy LaMott singing the song of David Zippel.

This was a crowd funding project to raise the money to help transfer and restore the material to make the cd. They matched and surpassed their goal that it made it possible for future cds to be released

My niece has four tattoos: the Seattle Storm women's basketball logo on the inside of her left forearm, a rainbow Pride tattoo on the outside of one of her legs near her foot, a stylized Canadian maple leaf on the inside of her right forearm, and the "13" logo from the "Warehouse 13" TV show on her back upper right shoulder.

Post by: Jeanne on December 08, 2015, 03:01:30 PM: From today's Notes:

"...since not one human being has actually asked me to do anything for my actual birthday...so perhaps a quiet birthday is the way to go, unless someone surprises me and says let’s go do something."

Well, this non-human did invite Mr BK for a birthday lunch, which could have been today. But said non-human cannot hie herself to Studio City, so the birthday lunch will have to wait a bit, until those with driving vision can hie themselves nearer to me.

From today's Notes:

"...since not one human being has actually asked me to do anything for my actual birthday...so perhaps a quiet birthday is the way to go, unless someone surprises me and says let’s go do something."

Well, this non-human did invite Mr BK for a birthday lunch, which could have been today. But said non-human cannot hie herself to Studio City, so the birthday lunch will have to wait a bit, until those with driving vision can hie themselves nearer to me.

;D

Post by: ChasSmith on December 08, 2015, 04:17:44 PM: I wonder if DRs Elmore or SingSing or Matthew or anyone has seen this and knows it exists...?

I'm looking for a piano/vocal edition of Leroy Anderson's A CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL. I can only find the full score and the instrumental and vocal parts published, and I already have access to those. Am I just searching poorly tonight, or might there actually not be a piano reduction available? Just for rehearsal, doesn't matter how good or bad it is.

Prior to that, I "liked" all the Facebook birthday wishes - all 650 of 'em.

I don't know what my official count was though it was not anywhere near as many considering I "only" have 258 friends. I responded to each of them, at least I hope I did not miss anyone, which often began a short conversation. I was exhausted-lol. Now I understand why people do a generic thank you on their page.

Post by: Jane on December 08, 2015, 06:35:14 PM: I am soooo out of shape. I don't belong to a gym anymore which means I don't use a stairmaster. That would be ok if we had any hills to walk around here. I'm trying to use the stairs more here, which is kind of boring since it is only 3 flights and I have to keep going up and down. Boring or not, I need to do those stairs as I am finding myself out of breath when I run them.

I am hating this weather. It's too warm sleeping under bedding intended for zero degree temperatures and the pains in my left leg last night were unbearable. There were not enough drugs. I guess i walked about too much yesterday, but it was a really good day out and about.

Leg vibes for Elmore

DR TCB we are going to wait until closer to our trip to Tacoma to book a hotel room. Right now the Silver Cloud is a bit pricey. The Murrano in downtown, while not my taste looks nice enough and is much less. Do you suggest one location for convenience over the other?

The Murrano is less expensive than the Silver Cloud? Boy, what a difference two years can make. The Murrano used to very expensive and the rate was nonrefiundable. They are both about equal difference to the theater. How about a B & B?

Post by: TCB on December 08, 2015, 11:19:52 PM: Downtown Tacoma has gone thru a major Renaissance in the last fifteen years or so. They did away with the skid row areas and built a convention center, new museums, hotels, and upscale restaurants. They also built the Tacoma campus of the University of Washington in downtown. It is not a perfect place yet, but it is much nicer than it used to be.
