See, here's me blogging on my website. I can do this because I created a blog on this page. But I didn't have to do it. It's optional. The guesbook below, called "Feedbag" is also optional. A lot of personal websites have this feature because we're expecting to hear from friends. Business and organizational website don't usually have these interactive features. If someone posts something on the guestbook, I get a message in my email telling me that. So you could have a website for your family news and pictures like this one. Kind of fun, no?

Our co-worker, Dave, wrestled with the devil today about having Chocolate Day on Ash Wednesday. here's what happened: He just wasn't sure if people would think it was okay. We took a poll at staff chat the feedbag was that we shouldn't.(the staff is sooo conservative!) But still, we weren't sure. Since Kristin had Cathy on the phone we asked her and she asked her mother and her co-workers. That's when Dave went into action. He called the Italian glasswashers and a bunch of other bellwethers. The verdicit from all? Go ahead! So we will and we will do so knowing that it was the right decision. Thank you Dave, for not stifling your doubts. We would have hating hearing that this was the wrong thing on Tuesday night.

 

We're listening to Geoff Smith's latest music. Beachtree, You are a lion and They took my things. Seems I lost the link where you can download these tunes. Geoff, send the link. The music is sweet and quirky and the lyrics are strangely enticing. They are on my playlist and they seem to stay there.

 

We are also revisting some of the grand old operas. Seems as we work more on La Barba it brings up the classics. Rigoletto, up until now, has been the greatest story of deception and betrayal. It's hard to believe that any thing written since could come close to the level of duplcity that Rigoletto presents. but La Barba does that with relentless passion and at the same time an attention to detail that leaves the listener breathless. Visit our website, How to Build an Alternative Universe (on the gate way page) for background on Lena and her tortorous struggles for gender identity and a decent aria or two.
