Tenor Takes AWinter Journey Coast-to-Coast This is so cool! Tenor David Pisaro is walking across northern England on the classic Coast to Coast footpath right now, planning on ending his journey at Robin Hood’s Bay on about the 31st of January. The catch is that he is performing Schubert’s “Die Winterreise” each night – sometimes to audiences as small as 3 people (in a farmhouse that had the only piano for miles around). He’s attempting to meld “method” acting with classical music by literally experiencing a long, cold winter’s journey and then singing his heart out about just such a…

We went for a “walk” on Saturday to take pictures of “pretty winter scenes.” Here is a bush. This is the only kind of Bush that I like these days. Not that I’m political or anything.

Checked in at the TARflies Times site to see if the little counter to the next episode has started yet. Nope. Checked in at the TWOP Amazing Race site to see if any spoilers had been posted (sightings are considered spoilers) and ditto – nope. Augh. What’s happening? What’s happening? Are they starting soon?? And since the Tarflies site is run as a group blog, onto the blogroll it goes. Yayyyyy! (tm Kenny) God, I miss this show. Ready, set, Amazing Race already!

My sister has gotten into the act with a few embarassing photos. I’m told that I might need to start a blackmail fund to keep her from sending the most notorious ones. Proof that I am indeed a full-blooded member of the Phaeomelanii: This was when we were living in Albuquerque in the early 60’s. Since I’m wearing the headress, I MUST be watching “Roy Rogers,” although maybe I’m cheering for the Indians. Usually I wore a cowboy hat and rode my palamino pony, “Horsey Honey” in the living room when RR was on. HH was powered by springs, not…

Geodog’s MT Weblog: That nasty IE 6 scrolling bug that shows up in MT So the bug is still bugging, but one big lesson learned is “don’t past div code and brackets into blog posts!!!” Note to self – figure out how to past code in a little quote box.

London Underground Tube Diary – Going Underground’s Blog Right, this site needs to win a Bloggie – I wish I’d seen it before our trip. And note please – it’s written by a woman, not a bloke. She’s evidently chapped by being mistaken for a chap online. Must tell David that his “Mind the Gap” T-shirt might mean something like “Mind the Pinch” in Dutch. Interesting – several of the blogs I stumbled into reading as a side effect of thrashing about helplessly are up for a-wards. Everybody links to the same few top blogs. It’ll be interesting participating in…

Journalings Here’s an old friend from my Highlander fan days – I used to host chats that she attended as “catsnco.” We got re-connected recently and it’s good to know that she’s doing all right after her move. Her “catsnco” link tells her lives story (hint) better than I could – it’s a strange and confusing one, but real. And she’s moved to an area near Eugene, my old college home. I already told her she has to go to Eugene to get Monster Cookies. They’re generally sold in coffeehouses and deli cases. I went looking for a website for…

Hee! Google thinks we’re obsessed with TiVo and plumbing. Oh, wait. Darn. And (tm Kenny) Yayyyyyyyy! the pizza dude just dropped off dinner.
