That really sucks. Cincinnati Symphony has been a leader in this space.
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Punishingly Intricate
Yes, it really would be that simple if the content teams didn't have to work in Salesforce. Yes, really.
Hard agree!! Hate Salesforce with the white hot passion of a thousand suns

My experience with Salesforce is minimal, but enough to concur.
We went to a Miami Heat v Houston Rockets game last night. A family friend plays for the Rockets so we were cheering for the opposition. They won 98 to 102. Amen had an absolutely awesome game, which was nice since so many friends and family were there. So that was cool, and I didn't get home until 1 AM, which is super party hardy for this old lady.
Both teams' colors are black and red, and I only regret not surreptitiously taking pictures of the fan outfits. Latin women, body proud, black and red leather, wow! Who knew corsets were a thing at basketball games? I mean, there were some hot men too, but the women were outstanding. So my takeaway from the game is basketball fun, Latina fans super sexy.

Please indulge me in a little ltc bragging. These are her teacher’s comments on her most recent report card “F continues to amaze me with her talent in all curriculum areas. She is the most engaged reader in the class by far and is totally committed to understanding every new math concept.”

That's wonderful, sj! To excel in both language and math is impressive. You and TCG should be very proud.

On the little verbal standardized tests shes has she's usually at the 97th or 98th percentile in verbal skills and 85th percentile in math skills. She definitely prefers to read, but she's still above average in math. The "committed to understanding" is the part I'm the most proud of because she can definitely have the tendency to not want to try things that don't come easy to her (which she definitely gets from me), and we've worked really hard to break her of that tendency.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I got an answer from their Facebook page, and the orchestra will still be having the Classical Roots concert, so at least there's that.

Great job, ltc!
I've been soaking up the fancy hotel life here, and I'm going from a full breakfast to lunch in an hour. So I'll probably have very little at lunch.
But I'll see some Kenyon people there before the service at 3pm. Then out of towners are invited to go to dinner with the family.
Tomorrow is the looser, Celebration of Life/Reception where I'll speak a little about Josh.
Then back very early on Monday morning.

David, I hope the warm and comfort of seeing old friends helps balance the sorrow.
