I love the idea that there are “get a grip” molecules running around in your system and that sometimes they loose their way. Mine get lost too and it is a nice thought that if you look hard enough you can find them vacationing on your left pinkie toe (presumably getting away from it all) and that you can call them back to help drop the anchors before the storms sweep you too far off course.

Love

Had time to peruse your website and just want you to know that you are such an inspiration to me. Your writing skills are absolutely fabulous. Plus, you are so informative and knowledgeable about your illness. That is such a blessing to share with all who know you and read your comments. We did get some lovely snow. Makes things look so pure,just like we look to God because of Jesus. Wow. Know you are loved and still in so many of our prayers. Sharon Struve

Your observations on the avian interaction were very nice. Must be a pleasant view from your second floor (although “hills” are not something I stereotypically associate with Nebraska — having never been there).

I imagine that the vet bill from Alfie’s “dietary indiscretions” produced a different kind of dietary reaction in whoever received the bill!! (Our terrier has skin allergies, an his special vet-sold dry food is expensive.)

The January 19 New York Times had a very nice article on Buxtehude and his organ pieces, and a great shot of the organ at St. Thomas Church in NYC.

A 30 second ITunes jazz class?? I don’t know if your computer has ITunes. (Ours happens to, and I started snooping on ITunes because I get $10 in “songs” (or parts of classical pieces) with every Avis car rental.) Susan and I watched a video the other evening which closed with the jazz/vocal classic, For All We Know, sung by Rosemary Clooney. Checking that title on ITunes, one finds, as one would expect, many recordings. You can listen to the first 30 seconds of any “song” free, and it was quite instructive to listen to just these small cuts of a number of vocalists, particularly since the “style” of each is immediately apparent.

Susan and I had our last mutual “training session” with her mom for tomorrow’s LA Philharmonic performance of John Adams’ Naieve and Sentimental Music. That piece must use every orchestra member, which was probably one reason that it was chosen for the LA Phil’s debut performance in our new concert hall in Costa Mesa.

———-
Know that you continue occupy a big chunk of our spiritual space (mine w/ a heavy Christian Science overlay, Susan’s, a self-defined “unlabelled,”), and that strong positive thoughts continue to wing their way east to you and your family.
