Well, you've read the notes, the notes had rhythm but not algorithms, and now it is time for you to post until the rhythmic cows come home.

Leaving in about 30 minutes or so to get to the highway between the starting of high school and the dropping off of the grade schoolers.

It's a scientific certainty.

I got plenty of sleep, but nothing is removing the shoulder and right arm pains that are depressing the bejeezus out of me.

DR Jramd75, I enjoyed your "Day in Court" account.

I'm still feeling puny. Yesterday I canceled my session with my student and spent most of the day lying on a heating pad.

I'll take any Celine Dion mention as a song cue, for this Celine Dion song parody with a glorious performance by Jan Horvath:

"We're All in the Balcony Now" - Parody of "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" from the musical "Bat Out of Hell" -
https://youtu.be/smw2Qf3TIR8

(dedicated to the parody proposition that it costs so much to see shows that we're all in the balcony now - even though we know there are a LOT of people who can and will pay whatever shows cost if they want to go)

Agree re algorithms. Why is this not a no-brainer for more people?

Even our own Google and other search results are created by algorithms.

How about giving us the option to - gasp! perish the thought! - turn them off?

Tonight I'm seeing an opening of my director friend's Jesus Christ Superstar at the Bridgeport Downtown Cabaret. It's been a bucket list item of his for years, so I'm interested to see his concept. All I know about the production is that they have a female Judas, which has apparently been a "thing" for a while. This gal was our Eva Perón this summer, she's immensely talented and wonderful to work with, and doing this has been a bucket list item of her own for a few years.

Pretty much nothing since I finished watching all of my Truffauts and Beach Parties and my two-film Poitier revisit. Those were all fun, but I have no idea what's next.

A jingle that could have swayed the razor-thin 2000 Bush v. Gore election, and we wouldn't be where we are today:

Al Gore Ithms
Al Gore Music
Al Gore's my man
Who could ask for anything more?

Bush won by 537 votes. Certainly, such a jingle could have swayed 600 voters.

I bought some Penne and some Classico pink sauce.....I don't know if it's what MR BK uses....and I had a length of sausage - so I shall probably try cooking it this Sunday.

The trans message the FBI claims was scratched into the bullets - was actually TRN the trademark of the manufacturer of the bullets - a Turkish company named Turan.

A Length of Sausage - possible song title for the musical version of "The Pizza Guy: He Delivers"

LOL I don't know what they're called. Smoked sausage two in the package they look like cured foot long hot dogs......

I am sure someone on HHW will know.
