I’m tidying up a new music score for possible publication. \*\*(Swampy \*\*might say I’m purtifying the score. 🙂 ) It’s my arrrangement for clarinets, of some music by the composer Grieg. If you think you’ve never heard his music, [here’s](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCEzh3MwILY)some you’ve probably heard. [Here’s](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQxsyA6s90Y) another of his pieces you’ve probably heard. The music I’m arranging isn’t these pieces, but it’s nice. ---

> [@lieu](#): > > I love days like that, the stormier the weather the more alive and alert I feel. I was driving on the interstate, wipers on high & a TT twuck in the left lane so I tried to pass him in the right lane. Between the rain coming down & the spray from his tires, I literally had zero visability - I couldn’t even see any lane lines to know if I was staying on the road. :eek: I don’t need to be that lert! After I got home, there was an email from the school district that included the line, “This is a reminder that we have officially started our first Otis Spunkmeyer Cookie Dough Fundraiser.” Did I mention that school does not even _start_ until next week? :smack: ---

My eyes are burning and watering. It looks like I am crying but I’m not. Now my other ear is hurting. I think my body is falling apart. Didn’t hear back from the mortgage company. How long does it take to say yes or no? Time for bed I think. _To sleep, perchance to dream_ I doubt that is Hamlet 12BFree One of my old screen names was DoU124naK8 ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 70 Amurrkin outside with a predicted high of 95 for the day. Summer is lettin’ us know it’s still here I reckon. Tomorrow is supposed to bring back rain. We shall see. **Midget** you’re purtifyin’ purty music? 😃 We already have a **freebie** folks. We must try and remember these things. \*\*{{{sari}}} feel better soonest. Ok, that’s all I got. I need more caffiene and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, alas, irk purtification must commence. TPTB are supposed to disappear by noon today. I could say, “Ok it’s noon, time for y’all to go back” but that might not go over so well. Works for me though. Happy Thursday Y’all! ETA: First on Four! ---

I borrowed a drill from the maintenance guys yesterdays to drill some holes in a couple of plastic storage crates. The 1/16" bit worked just fine, but I couldn’t get the 1/4" bit to do more than make a dent in the plastic. I’m bringing the crates and the drill to irk to see if the maintenance guys can figure out what I was doing wrong. Polly Subaru is running much better now that I’ve spent all the money on her. Off to irk! I leave you with **rosie** ’s sig. ---

\*\*Spaz \*\*- sounds to me like the bit needs to be sharpened. Or you were accidentally running it in reverse. Or \*\*BBBobbio \*\*could be right, strange as that would be. 😛 Good morning! It’s dreary out at the moment, but it’s supposed to be a nice day, so in a little bit, I’ll toss a load of towels into the washer. It’s also a crabber day - the big question being “Will anyone in my zone go out today?” Time will tell. Apart from that, nothing exciting on our agenda. My last days of non-working are pretty dull. Happy Thursday!! ---

Facebook is still down for me. My profile is unavailable. I’m freaking the fuck out. I NEED to know some important information (where to meet someone later today) and I don’t think I’ll have access to Facebook after I leave home. FUCK. ---
