Hi Janis,

 JK> Ah.. perhaps they were getting warmed up in the first half.. :)

Probably.  Very New Age-ish in the first part.


 JK> >They really needed a much larger projection screen than they had
 JK> > available for some of the effects.

 JK> Hopefully you were till able to enjoy the concert though .. but I know
 JK> that kind of thing can be disappointing when you can "almost" see
 JK> what's going on, but not quite.. :(

We could see, but a larger screen would have allowed a better picture.
This one made things seem "crowded".

 JK> instead of a turkey.

That's the Italian/Sicilian Catholic coming out.

 JK> > And if she doesn't want it, you will be just as happy. (G)

 JK> haha.. that's the truth :)  And darn, I saw her for a little bit this

IF you remember to mention it. I sometimes have to jot down different
things I need to remember to ask either a daughter  or a parent or an in
law.  I finally (!) remembered to ask my MIL for her pasta fagole recipe
the other day.  She made it when we were visiting in November; neither
Steve nor I could remember all she put in it.  Of course I'll tinker
with it; I know that already. (G)

 JK> excuse > tho; it's a choice of breathing (without pets) vs not

 JK> Aw.. that's such a shame..  When you come, we'll make sure the house
 JK> is well vaccummed, and walls washed, etc. before you get here.. And
 JK> the dogs don't go in all of the rooms of the house ... I keep them out

But you know they will get some attention from me.  I've got to get my
fuzz therapy where and whenever I can.


 JK> of some rooms with 'gates' :)  Cats get a little tricky though, though
 JK> there's just one downstairs and she's outside most of the time in the

Funny thing about cats is that they gravitate toward my lap if I'm
sitting.  Usually it's not a bother but we laugh over the magnetic
attraction they seem to have to me. It's interesting how some cats who,
according to their owner, are not lap cats, except if I'm visiting. If
the house is clean, I don't mind it and will kick a cat off my lap if I
feel the need to.  Over Christmas time, while out in Las Vegas, I had
both of Rachel & David's cats on my lap at various times.
