Hi Michael,

 RH> I'm all caught up now so taking my time to read a bit better. Still
 RH> trying to catch up on other projects tho.

 ML> I understand that. When I was misreading posts like
 ML> that, my real project was preparing for a concert,
 ML> Richard Einhorn's Voices of Light, with open rehearsal
 ML> (practice and informal runthrough/concert before an
 ML> audience) on Wednesday and touchup followed by real
 ML> performance Sunday. The Wednesday one went badly
 ML> enough that I felt compelled to really woodshed for
 ML> the concert - I think Sunday went well but haven't
 ML> heard the tapes yet.

Can you pick out your own playing from a tape? When I was in high school
drama, we used to say "bad dress rehersal, good performance" but as bad
as dress rehersal was sometimes, performances weren't always perfect.
One time a prop was left off or on (forget which) stage so the guy
playing the handy man came thru with it, ad libbing a line about "darn
kids always leaving things where they shouldn't".

Now I'm in Yellowknife with
 ML> Lilli, visiting Jim and Roslind. It was cloudy last
 ML> night (despite it getting down to -33F/-36C), so no
 ML> aurora viewing. Tonight is supposed to be no colder
 ML> but clear, so a good chance.

And so? Had your seal yet?  Did it taste blubbery?


 RH> We were there for a week, doing a lot of cooking and some shopping,
 RH> computer trouble shooting (Steve put a new router into my dad's set
 RH> up.), etc. The rest of the trip we visited friends and other
 RH> relatives.

 ML> Sounds OK. For a sec I thought there might have been
 ML> a crisis there.

Not this time, thankfully. Routine check, give them a break from
cooking, spoil them a bit with our cooking, put some food into their
freezer type visit.


 RH> this trip. We also did our usual stock up of PA goodies--Hartley's
 RH> potato chips, A.J. Peachey's ham & scrapple, some Mennonite cheese, etc

 ML> I'm not familiar with Peachey's scrapple, not having
 ML> eaten there. How does it compare to the Rapa line?

Peachey's is Mennonite made in small quantities. I don't know if it's
sold anywhere but their store. OTOH, Rapa's is probably produced in much
greater quantities, sold in wider distribution. That give you any ideas?

Catch you later,
