We’ve had a thread on her before. I recall that in her first meeting with Rachmaninoff he asked her what piece she wanted to play. She told him. Then he asked her to play it for him in some other key that he specified.

When you see/hear the tape, you can say committed. I doubt you’d use that langauge to describe some random guy caught robbing a store on video.

@George-K said in More Insurrection!: David Schulte, the former editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal The landlord: https://vineyardgazette.com/news/2018/06/04/former-obama-vacation-home-sold The Chilmark home rented by President Obama and his family for a 2013 family vacation sold June 1 for $15 million. The home on Snail Road owned by David and Patty Schulte of Chicago and Chilmark had been on the market for several years. The buyer was Menemshovitz Realty Trust, represented by an attorney at Gibbons Law Firm in New York city. Wallace and Co. Sotheby’s International had the listing, with Tom Wallace as principal broker. According to the online listing, the sale price did not include an additional purchase of furnishings and art for $2.35 million. The contemporary style, 7,000-square-foot house sits of 9.5 acres of land with views of Chilmark Pond and the south shore beyond. The house was built in 2006 and includes a host of amenities, including a guest house, heated infinity pool, basketball court, and access to a private ocean beach. The Schultes bought the property in 2000 and built a new home to replace an old camp. In 2015 Mr. Schulte told the Gazette that he and his wife decided to put the property up for sale because of changing family needs. The original asking price was $22.5 million. In 2013 the Schultes rented the property to the Obama family for a 10-day summer vacation. Mr. Schulte was a long-time supporter of the president, but the family was initially reluctant to rent their home when Mr. Wallace, also the chief rental agent for the Obamas on the Vineyard, approached them with the idea.

Belated Merry Christmas everyone I grew up getting an orange in my stocking every Christmas and when the boys were younger, we always put one in theirs. Of course growing up in California my parents had an orange tree in the backyard but this makes me wonder if that’s how the tradition started with my folks

@jon-nyc said in Guess I’m the last one up?: there have always been higher priorities in terms of demands on my time I feel that. I'm constantly cleaning up after the kids and yet my office is a mess. I actually enjoy a neat and tidy space yet I sit in probably the most chaotic room as my time is almost always spent elsewhere.

For better or worse, a live audience laughing is something that is hard to beat in a sitcom.

Lillian needs to take a walk in the woods. I'm not making an analogy. People need to realize it really doesn't matter that much, birds keep chirpin'.

Can't reply without it sounding like a brag, but whatever. I got my MBA a few years ago but during the program, there was one specific class where the professor started the first class saying he "never gives an A, even if you do all the work perfectly" and also that he spoke 6 languages, LOL. It was such a weird first class I almost wrote to the Dean complaining that a professor told us on Day 1 that we can't get an A in his class. Why this was important to me...? I did really well in high school, but had a reality check as a freshman in college that skipping classes = bad grades, and so I had a bad GPA to start (a 1.8?) and worked it back to a decent one (3.2?) by the time I graduated. And when I pursued the MBA I wanted to really see if I could get a 4.0 GPA if I worked hard (effort AND result btw), and this professor risked it. Anyway, I ended up getting an A in the class which resulted in me being the only graduate (out of 380 MBA grads!) to have a 4.0 GPA. Got a special award and all. Not sure if it was a psychological move or what, but there you go. My best friend in the program got a B+ in that dude's class, so he ended up with a 3.95 or something...
