hey margot — how’s ohio? figure this one will really get ya going (tis my absolute fav)

eg — kelly also did the how to make an apple pie video that got featured one nite — multi-talented.

g’evening Suze & Pups!

What’s on my mind? Not much, brain-dead after an intense big project at work this week. So i spent a cheerful afternoon chipping the last of the ice off my driveway while wearing a light jacket and no hat, listening to the cardinals trying to impress the lady cardinals by yelling WHEAT TOO! at each other. Lovely afternoon!

Ooo, I remember that.
I imagined myself making that, but lacked the guts.

hey ndfg — sounds like spring is just around your corner. how’s your eye doing?

Aww, thanks. I have been working a little bit on the Chopin A-flat Ballade lately, but I really need to devote some more time to it.

@Suz – PIE!

I did manage to post a diary tho, M’dear…! ;-)

black

when are the results expected? bon apetit indeed dood

I saw people buy sunglasses in the store today, nice bright day, muddy as heck. People here tell me spring starts with the Daytona race.

when’s that (i am sports challenged)

Which results…? The real ones or the ‘official’ ones…? ;-)

ha! that was gonna be my next question — how about both?

Still plenty of snow, but it’s maple syrup time. Bright days above freezing, nights below freezing. Snow is melting slowly, creeks are starting to run. “Course, the weather could change, you never know from year to year if there’s gonna be a good run or not. Baby Brother bottled i don’t know how many gallons of maple syrup last year, last year was pretty good.

My eye is still slowly healing, the vision fluctuates (still not usable, & my lens prescription no longer matches), i see the doc in 2 weeks, according to him it will be several more months of slow healing before we know where the vision level has stabilized. But, glory be, he has done miracles. And i’m not movement and activity restricted as of 2 weeks ago.

And how’s your mouth doing? (I’m merely getting a crown, i was thinking of you whilst in the dentist’s chair!)

I need a new piece. What do you like in Brahms?

scariest part’s peeling the apples.

It was in mid-February sometime, so I guess we can just overlook the 30″ of snow…

still adjusting… dds said i am almost completely healed (takes a couple months) and i don’t have to go back for a recheck for a month. still working on defeating my gag reflex *sigh*

hey sunny — how ya doing?

*eye rolling* geez margot is that one of them ice races?

ndfg – glad to hear about progress on your eye. Keep us posted.

did everyone see mary mcc’s good news earlier today — ron did not have a heart attack and was released from hospital today. he has acid reflux really bad but his heart is fine.

Ironically, nobody will have a clear majority to rule… Some seriously odd bedfellows will have to arise to attain a governing majority…! I shall keep ya’ll informed as to what transpires, one way or another…! *g*

The short pieces, since all Brahm’s is difficult! I’m fond of the Intermezzi, and I really like this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RooR3nsYWzw

most excellent ct — always look forward to your diaries because i always learn something reading them.

*heh* Acid Reflux is the best of all diagnoses…! *g*

Abbott and Costello standing over a corpse.

Abbott: “Can’t you see he’s got a gag in his mouth?”

Costello: “Well if he does, he never got a chance to tell it.”

yikes! i hadn’t heard the first news, but i’m glad it wasn’t a heart attack. {{{ mary & ron }}}

hey emerson — how ya doing dood? *laughing*

Oh thank goodness!

Scanned it and noticed 2011 USA troop pullout might be cancelled. Ya think!
When we gonna get a leach on these wars?

That is WAY good news for Ron and the Senator. They have had a wee bit on their plates already.

iirc she came into the ln thread yesterday scared shitless — ron in hosp and docs were talking bad heart problems like congestive heart failure.

he had the stress test today and good news all the way around.

hey bb — how’s your bay tonight?

no, it’s held in Florida, but it’s kind of like I think it’s spring (almost) when the seed catalogs get here. Just a mental sigh that winter is over (almost).

out with the lion – in with the lamb! ’60s next week.

aha — i was thinking it was local and so it must be one of those ice races i remember seeing on tv. buncha crazy fools speeding around a track on the ice trying to go as fast as they can… like i said, sports challenged

Honestly, I do believe Obama and Gates are truly determined to exit Iraq ASAP…! The MIC institutional pressure is the only thing holding them back…! For some strange reason or another…! 8-(

whew!

Wow that’s really beautiful. Would you use a touch more pedal in the middle section? Or maybe that’s a function of it being an old recording, being played over my computer speakers.

I’m unfamiliar with his intermezzi – thanks for the rec.

65 here today *happy dance*

storm coming down from alaska sun afternoon/evening bringing chance of snow down to the 1,000 ft level. *unhappy dance*

English, please…

Great news about Mary and Ron, Suz!

We got a 30-day reprieve from the governor, um doctors, today, too. They want to hold off on further surgery to see if the new meds work as well as they seem to preliminarily. Dad’s feeling pretty sprightly in the legs after having the angio procedure done on each leg three weeks ago. His circulation and blood pressure is much better, too.

So, we monitor him for 30 days and if there are no setbacks, they say no surgeries at this point! He meets with the heart surgeon Monday and then with the vascular surgeon the week after.

So, good news all around!

I drove home in the dark from a Surfrider board meeting in Arroyo Grande. We have a strategy meeting tomorrow for the year So I imagine it is a mudflat as could not see the lights reflecting from Morro Bay.
UN wants to ban catches of Blue Fin Tuna. Yeah.

woohoo snoopy happy dance emerson

fingers and toes crossed that he meds and angio did the trick and all goes well from here on out

beautiful

Hey emerson that’s great!

English? Ok –

Music = pretty

Brahms = hard work

i get what ya mean about mudflats. when the tide is out at night up here, there is not a lick of reflection on the bay. makes it darker than dark feeling.

whazza pedal? *edit what does more pedal do?*

That’s wonderful emerson. Excellent!

Yes, I would make sure it “glided” more.

You might also like this Intermezzo in E-flat. It’s quite bucolic.

Pedals were handy on the antique, pre-electronic versions of keyboards. You had a wide variety of volume possibilities: both loud and soft! Two whole settings.

Emerson. Very nice now everyone can breath easier including your pop.

Thanks folks. We’re excited about it!

we’re talking about the clarinet now?
ok.

REM

thanks

g’nite bb

So, good news all around!

Good News indeed Emerson. Best wishes to you and your family!!

Hey bb, the two things he’s happiest about are :

1) hosting the St. Paddy’s Day party, and

2) attending his 86th b-day party on the 28th. *g*

evening, firegods

boogie

Emerson, that’s great news, whew

hey ppd — how’s the south south bay tonight?

Lovely interpretation. I can see how it could be pounded by lesser players, but is ethereal in this version.

*A tad soggy with my middlun hosting a bbq at Coconut Island, the better half and I are telling her party on… without us…! ;-)*
heh! Party poopers!
Is Coconut Island the little island that we watched on the Hawaii teevee during the tsunami watch? The one in Hilo Bay, on other side of that bridge?

I’m a Stones Girl! Thanks!

that’s wonderful emerson — 86 — wow!!!

hey pellora — how ya doing tonight — glad ya like stones — some good stones links upthread

Thanks nahant. I was thinking about you and Julie while I was watching Celtic Women tonight. Did you see it?

St. Paddy’s Day party

We used to have big gatherings on St Paddy’ day… Didn’t hurt youngest daughter is same day… so.. oh and I grew up 1/4 mile from where the parade started in S. Boston…

Great news, emerson.

Hi Margot! Yeah, so far-so good.

Nah I was watching the SCiFY Chanel… but we do have several of their CDs…

Evening PPDCUS. Nite firegods! (poof)

Hey, how was Caprica tonight?

g’nite sunny

congrats on the 100 nahant

That was one of the things his heart specialist said, Suz-that his body doesn’t respond like any 86-year-old he’s seen. It’s been a good day.

night SN

Is Coconut Island the little island that we watched on the Hawaii teevee during the tsunami watch? The one in Hilo Bay, on other side of that bridge?

That would be the very same one, M’dear…! Funny how that works out, eh…? ;-)

good day

Bye Sunny!

Good! I think it is better than Battle Star Galactica…

Thanks States. I really appreciate the uplifting comments and well-wishes from this unique community. Thank you all.

Well I am outta her Pups… Best to all of you..nite..

g’nite nahant

I’m one episode behind you on Caprica. I’m glad tonight’s was good. Last week’s was just okay.

hey spocko — how ya doing tonight?

Aloha, nahant…!

Baby please don’t go

Saw the linkies. Here’s a oldie but goodie, from St. Louis Bridges to Babylon. Sure different from newer stuff. Remember when this was rock ‘n roll?

sweet margot…

Today I went to downtown Palo Alto and talked to 10 businesses about the upcoming gun rally. I told them they had a right to say no firearms and gave them copies of the policies of Peets and California Pizza Kitchen. Then I told them about the restaurant owner who hosted them in Feb and then regretted it.

I told the local media all this. It would be great if the group got there, went into the pizza place and was told that they weren’t allowed. That would be great if it was on camera. Then they would go to the yogurt place and they would be turned away there. Finally they will be forced to go to Starbucks because nobody else wants them. Sadly I can’t be there to watch and make sure the cameras catch their humiliation.

To create a successful narrative flip I would also need to have my one people there with the new narrative. I haven’t been able to do that yet.

But after talking to a lot of people about this issue they are often confused about the law. The gun toters use this confusion.

I really don’t want there to be a misunderstanding shooting for people to suddenly realize what a stupid idea this is.

One auto dealer told him that he supported people second amendment rights as long as they look “normal” I could have shown him a photo of the guy who shoot the people at the Pentagon yesterday. “Does this guy look normal? He just shot two people in cold blood.”

ha — remember when ed sullivan wanted them to change the lyric for his show? to lets spend some time together

Oh boy, memories of Ed Sullivan show with them singing “Let’s spend some time together” hahaha

I will be in Menlo Park and PA tomorrow…
Care to illuminate?

dood was wearing a suit and looked just like a businesman was what i heard

of course, since he is white the narrative is ‘he had issues’ and not domestic terrorist

Tired see my comment. I know that what I’m doing is a self assigned action, but I get so frustrated that nobody is thinking about how to reframe and re-narrate the actions of the right wing.

But I will say that the restaurant owners all appreciated my alerting them and giving them some sort of template to deal with the armed men coming into their shops.

I explained. “It’s like your no shirt no shoes no service policies. Only it’s ‘no firearms.”

What’re you drinking Suz?

I saw the Stones in Boulder, CO. for Sticky Fingers, Steel Wheels in Foxboro, and Bridges to Babylon in Aloha Stadium…! ;-)

i think the no shirt no shoes no service = no guns is an excellent way to frame it spocko. i’m glad the business owners appreciated you taking the time to explain it to them.

since the media wont.

i’ll have an irish coffee please

jealous glare

An open carry group is having a meet up at lytton plaza in PA tomorrow from 11-1. They will be bringing their unloaded weapons (bullets on the belt but not in the guns) to the plaza and then go into restaurants and dessert places to help “celebrate” their 2nd Amendment rights.

I know the precise spot. Will be in the area.
Christ, that is high-traffic x-ing Saturday in PA…

Slides Irish coffee down to Suz

Don’t you glare at me, M’dear…! You saw the Beatles live…! 8-P

thanks margot — appreciate the extra whipped cream

once

Oh good Lard…

get whatcha need

Kelly, that intersection is in the heart of the hugely-traveled part of downtown Palo Alto. The place will be packed with shoppers and diners.

from ready set go

Once more than I…! Keith pissed me off with his highly inebriated ‘performance’ at Aloha Stadium…! Good thing they had an adept protege to handle the key riffs…!

I get it. I’m just aghast is all. Holy Cow.

its totally crazy busy and i bet the palo alto cops are gonna be pissed.

never seen the stones myself dood

Hey in the Sunday SF Chron datebook they mention Lee Ro dgers getting fired. I got in the story as media blogger Spocko. Woot! Of course the managements comments have no credability since they have lied before about the impact that I and fellow bloggers had on them.
I’m glad I got Rodgers’ offensive quotes in the story.
Here’s the URL http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/03/05/PKJ61C69MI.DTL

“I saw the Stones in Boulder, CO. for Sticky Fingers, Steel Wheels in Foxboro, and Bridges to Babylon in Aloha Stadium…! ;-)”

:sticking tongue out: to you

I saw the Stones in Oakland Stadium, Bridges tour. Was way Awesome! I knew I liked the Stones, but when I knew the words to every song… well, it was quite a revelation! And you could get stoned just being in the stadium and breathing! ahhahahaha

*standing on chair clapping* well done spocko

One media blogger who goes by the name Spocko says Sussman is just as troubling. He says he has persuaded numerous companies to drop their ads from KSFO and charges Sussman with verbally bashing gays, war protesters and others.

Freaking awesome!

I love this video! So an ex had a friend who was an art dealer in the Village and he sold prints by Ron Wood. He invited Wood to his son’s 10th birthday and he showed up WITH all of the Stones. He said they were all great people and even played a few songs.

I saw the Stones in Boulder, CO. for Sticky Fingers…

OK, how deeply can I bow?!?
What a show!

Well they say they are working with the LEOs which is good because if anyone calls the police the police could say “oh it’s just those open carry people.” sounds like the perfect time for someone to stage a real robbery.

Nice job, Spocko!

dang — do ya know about when that was?

all the townies in palo alto are gonna freak out. yanno they think all guns need to stay on the other side of the east palo alto’s city line

Jack

Have this as a ring for my oldest Kidlet1

stones stone

everytime i hear that song, i think of this movie

right around the turn of the century, I think. Here’s his gallery:

http://www.popinternational.com/intro/intro.htm

Excellent!

holy moly

Thanks. I know there is more to firing Rodgers than little ol’ me. I wrote a whole post on all the factors.
But I want the rest of the progressive community to get that we can successful hurt them. Of course they won’t admit it. I said I wish that his firing and Morgans came to open court we could learn all sorts of stuff.
But it will never happen.

I wonder how many of this open carry group are black. Someone suggested I contact the gang bangers and tell them to show up to “celebrate” their 2nd amendment rights. I don’t know any so I couldn’t.

I don’t think of the movie every time, because I remember the Oakland concert first. But I do know the movie, and I like Whoopie!

Good Night. Sweet dreams all!

zero would be my bet. i’m sure the pa cops appreciate the fact that you don’t and didn’t.

dayam this whole thing could go so sour so quickly. tis gonna be a clusterfuck from start to finish. this kinda shit makes me glad i’m retired and don’t have to put up with these fools.

i wonder if pa has any municipal ordinances regarding firearms and carrying.

g’nite pellora

guess it is about time for me to mosey on myself.

g’nite all and thanks for all the musical memories and conversations tonight

*le poof*

nite suz. me too

Newt, U2 at Red Rocks, the ‘Live under a Blood Red Sky’ concert was truly killers…! ;-)

Aloha, Suz, Pel, newt, et al…! ;-)

Good morning, pups. It’s Mr. Herbert solo, since Ms. Collins and Mr. Blow are off today. Mr. Herbert, in “Cops vs. Kids,” says it’s time to rein in the way police and safety officers in New York public schools mistreat students.

Here he is.

The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and I’ve got waffles with warm maple syrup. It’s below freezing again today. I was talking with one of the docs in our practice who has a lot of elderly patients. He was telling me that his patients in their 80s and 90s say that they can’t remember a winter as cold as this one. Ever. Hoping for spring, I wish you a good day.

Recently got a copy of the 40th anniversary ‘Get Your Ya’s Ya’s Out’ CD/DVD. It’s a bit pricey, but damn it’s good. The DVD is a five song ditty with the boys (startlingly young) in top form. It starts with a terrific Prodigal Son and ends with a satisfying Satisfaction. Hendrix is seen strumming and talkin’ guitars with Kieth backstage and Joplin is dancing in the wings. Makes you wish you’d been at ol’ Madison Square that night.

wow — thanks davidd — i’ll look for that dvd. twill go perfect with the original vinyl album.
