Hiya, Ms. B.

How's it going? They're keeping me hopping here in Arizona.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

Hump Day is here. I hope you got that last-minute project they stuck you with finished and outta da way. Or is this a week-long project?

Everything ready for your brother’s visit?

Hi Everybody!

(((HUGS)))

[Publius]

Hey, M-L.

(HUGS)

Just got done watching my DVD of the Met production of Beethoven's "Fidelio." Lots of good material to hum-m-m-m.

I hope the Met was “Faithful” to Beethoven’s Vision of Fidelio! :-)

[radu]

Howdy, PRO.

Get everything knocked out quickly today? Decent weather to be out in?

REQUEST PERMISSION TO COME ABOARD



CHARLESTOWN, Mass. (Jan. 14, 2008) The first major snowfall of the New Year blankets the USS Constitution. Despite the weather "Old Ironsides" remained open for free public tours. At 210 years-old, USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world, manned by 67 active-duty United States Sailors and visited by nearly half a million visitors annually.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!!!

[Publius]

Quite faithful.

Here is the Prisoners' Chorus from the Met production. There is a prisoner who looks like Bruce Willis.

Howdy there, MS.B. *Hugz*

How are things your way? I imagine it’s a bit nippy up there. BRRR

[PROCON]

Hi radu!

I had Walmart today, took 4 hours and then went home. Tomorrow will be a long day and 4 stores, I need to continue to build my stamina up, I peter out after 9 hours, I'll get there.

Decent weather here, how wuz your day?

[radu]

Howdy, LUV.

How was your day? Has it warmed up at all or is it still a little brisk?

Did the original have spoken dialogue?

I know that Carmen did, and the recitative was added later.

[Publius]

Yes. “Fidelio” was a singspiel just like “The Magic Flute,” with spoken dialog. It was common in German opera at the time. Schubert’s “Fierrabras” was also a singspiel.

OK...then it IS authentic! thanks! :-)

[The Mayor]

Hiya Kathy! Thank you for the thread.
Humpday is over for this week.

[radu]

Bet you look forward to Thursdays. Suuuuuuuuure. LOL!
Will you split up the 4 stores and add them to your Wed. and Fri. schedules next week?

Ugly day here. Chilly, cloudy, and damp. I just stayed home since there wasn’t anything I HAD to do. Got the grocery shopping done last night.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

howdy Prof!
(GENTLE HUG & CHASTE SMOOCH RETURNED)
You have been missed!
Things are fine, thank you!
Do you love your new job?

[MS.BEHAVIN]

good evening, radu!
*HUG*
It has been quite chilly up here!
It will be in the 20s tonight.
Friday we will have temps in the 40’s with wind driven rain.
UGH
The rain feels like icy needles,
BRRRRRRRRRRRR!!

[Publius]

I've been running around meeting the various players in the transportation scene and lunching with potential allies.

Weather wise, it's cooled off a bit. It's only going up to the low 80s these days. The desert is quite a change from the rain forest.

I enjoy the writing of position papers and such because it plays to my strengths. The meetings can be fun, too.
