today is saturday 02 december 2006.

snowing here in denver. that weather system that rolled in on wed/thu was pretty wild. extended from seattle to boston.

so the midwest was a mess. why do they get all this national news coverage, and denver gets nothing. we got the same system . . .

jay cutler is starting qb for the broncos tomorrow. so exciting this takes a line in my blog. the news has been covering this to the point of nausea.

some of the cingular ads have been funny. like the one where the guy calls his girlfriend and tells her all kinds of lovey-dovey stuff. the guy doesn't get a response back because of dead signal . . . so he starts to wonder. that's funny.

the charisian presence played in a lakewood symphony orchestra concert thursday. lord of the rings symphony was pretty wild. guest conductor also included some copland pieces.

the guest conductor shared some of his experience of playing copland back in the late 70's. at that time he was conducting a youth orchestra in texas. so good was this youth orchestra that copland (who was still alive) flew in to see them. the kids were not real impressed . . . the conductor noted hearing whispers "yeah, we'll play for the old guy(!)" . . .

the guest conductor was also chided by copland himself. "you're taking this music too fast--who do you think you are? leonard bernstein?(!)"

back to lovey-dovey stuff. there was a story on cbs4denver.com concerning germs in the mouth. particularly germs in the mouth of humans compared to the germs in the mouth of dogs. human mouths have nasty germs life staph infection. germs in the mouths of dogs however have nothing that is dangerous to humans. so in theory it is better to kiss a dog than kiss a human. so let orbit lick away!
