    Personally, I’d rather have that problem than the other.

    I rather doubt that.

    Historical Jesus did, too. Such as being Black.

    Apparently some BLM guy charged in there waving a gun, and somebody shouted "Donald, Duck!"

    Texas songwriters seem to have that art form down pat. Take a listen to Lyle Lovett's 'Step Inside This House' CD. He does all songs from songwriters he knew and loved that you would otherwise never hear.

    Great piece of work.

    Really weird storm. Very little west side.

    Might get ten inches here.

    That’s what she said!

    That'll be great. Typical overstatement and under performance! 😄

    I'm not sure RSV wasn't always there. We just didn't test as much off-season.

    We attended the memorial recital for Renato this past week. My daughter drove all the way from New Hampshire to attend. She played Jimbo's Lullaby from Debussy's Children's Corner. I played the Goldberg Variations Aria and many more students traveled from all over to perform, or sent video performances. We played on a 9ft Petrof in the First Congregational Church, which is one block from Beloit College, where Renato was the chair of the music department for many years. The college disappointed all of us because they would not allow it to take place on campus "due to covid restrictions".

    It was a wonderful tribute to an amazing teacher, friend, husband to Nina, and father to Valentina. Valentina is 8 years old and played a duet that Renato arranged just for them. An old friend and student of Renato's played his part of the duet. It tugged at the heart strings on so many levels. Nina and Valentina flew in from Naples, FL that day and left the next day. They both gave short, emotional eulogies, and there was not a dry eye in the place.

    I saw this photo of him with Michelangeli for the first time at the memorial. I love the smile on Michelangeli's face. You can see the joy on both of their faces.

    City Hall and the gangs.

    https://www.jacksonville.com/article/20110131/NEWS/801258184

    We have all seen the statue of Butch O'Hare (at the airport). In one day he destroyed five enemy aircraft and, for that, became the Navy’s first ace of World War II and the first naval aviator to win the Medal of Honor.

    Easy Eddie, was Al Capone’s lawyer

    “One day, Easy Eddie decided to rectify wrongs he had done. He decided he would testify against the mob and Capone, clean up his tarnished name and offer his son some semblance of integrity.

    “So he testified. In 1932, Capone was sentenced to 11 years in prison. In 1939, Easy Eddie was gunned down on a lonely Chicago street. Most people credited Capone’s people for the hit.

    Butch O’Hare was Easy Eddie’s son.

    Chicago criminal connections have some strange twists

    That's about $10K per person.

    Just give everyone a $10K stimulus check, problem solved.
