The hall was less than 25% filled. Maybe they knew something
we didn't. And I haven't seen a check yet for this job. As
they've now said that owing to budget tightening they can't
afford to substantially subsidize my airfare, I'm wondering
about the job, though they want me to do all 16 concerts
(with 4 rehearsals a go) next season. Airfare coming to close
to half of a paycheck isn't a great thing, forcing me to
weigh the pros and cons of 1. paying for the ticket, which
eats lots of the proceeds but which is deductible; 2. using
my miles (I saved enough for 2.5 trips by booking Carol and
me into economy instead of business for our Australia junket
this fall, owing to there being no biz seats available); or
3. not doing the gig.

Rhubarb punch
cat: punch
yield: 1 batch

8 lb rhubarb
orange juice
lemon or lime juice
pineapple juice
ginger ale
ice cubes with roses frozen inside

[No instructions given. Probably: Stew rhubarb in
water to cover until tender. Strain and squeeze
dry, reserving liquid and discarding solids.
Combine rhubarb extract with remaining ingredients
to taste.]
