Well, you've read the notes, the notes were sans pith but had words, and now it is time for you to post until the pithless cows come home.

Good morning, all! I slept well, and I have a lot of typing today; my next job as General Factotum for this Herbert recording project is to provide for the print work all of the lyrics for the songs. I will begin with the lieder since they entail both the German text and an English translation.

My first job here is to tidy and vacuum the apartment. Around 10, I'll take my walk.

Monday morning greetings! It's weirdly warm here in SW Ohio and our house was stuffy when I woke up. Opening the windows helped a lot.

Best Southern-style meal I ever had was in Lafayette, LA.

Cajun catfish, crawfish, jambalaya and Southern-style cheesecake.

It was also the most racist place I've ever been in my life.

I couldn't wait to get out of there.

Odd that LAST NIGHT IN BALLYHOO was never made into a film--you would think that this would be a prime property...

My goddaughter's godmother Celia Weston was in this! She has a monopoly on southern roles.

Strange week ahead, culminating in my unemployment-insurance hearing on Friday afternoon, where i had won on the first level but the ex-boss is appealing.

FJL · « **Reply #13 on:** October 25, 2010, 07:07:35 AM »

And appealing in a most unappealing fashion.

Ginny · « **Reply #14 on:** October 25, 2010, 07:26:54 AM »

That doesn't sound so good, DR FJL...

Back from my walk and various and sundry errands. I didn't vacuum before I left, so I shall do it now.

Expect political instability for next 8 days, with potential for a crisis or two.

If you were the scheduled speaker for a professional organization for next Tuesday and the program chair had sent you an email LAST Tuesday and called you this morning, wouldn't you think communicating back would be the mannerly thing to do?

I will be so glad to turn this job over to someone else at year's end. They're lucky I didn't resign on Aug. 4.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #22 on:** October 25, 2010, 08:38:59 AM »

Yes DR GINNY - but some folks jus' doan haf no manners.

DR RLP - how could I forget TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD?

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I have about 20 more hours in DC left, for this trip at least.

As for the Topic of the Day...

All I can think of to add right now is Carson McCullers' "The Member of the Wedding".

Oh, and I guess the food writing of the Lee Brothers, as well as Calvin Trillin and Pat Conroy during their "Gourmet" years.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #25 on:** October 25, 2010, 09:01:32 AM »

Yes... It's all about the food.

And speaking of food, I need to head out and fetch me some grub now, so...
