today is wednesday 14 july 2004.

all star game was last night. the national league got toasted . . .

i know hadji reads this blog . . . so blast from the past--remember the mother goose and grim . . . the one where grimmy is circling the doggy toy, then all of a sudden grimmy takes a quick nip at it . . . . "oh, that squeak . . . i love that squeak!"

gripe in life . . . high priority e-mails. i hate it when people send e-mail that is supposedly "high priority" . . . truth in life--they never are. like i'm going to die if i don't get that e-mail . . .

listening to lincoln portrait by copland. i hate the recording with henry fonda narrating . . . must get the one with james earl jones. a sultan. almost like patrick stewart narrating prokofiev's peter and the wolf . . . sultan stuff.

and another sultan piece . . . barber's violin concerto. the first movement indeed for sultans.
