A sad day for all of us- Studs Terkel has died.


When I was in seventh or eighth grade, I was on the Studs Terkel Show, with children's chorus. He interviewed our director, and we sang some of our regular stuff. He was super nice to us kids, and very, very funny. My dad has several of his books, but I never read them. Maybe I should.

Bye, Studs, we'll miss you.

I have this DeathFlu/DeathCold thing going on. I think I caught a flu bug from sleepykins last week, which started to get better, but for some reason come the middle of the week, I went steeply downhill; I probably should have worked harder to rest and get well, but I didn't. Anyway, this leaves me feeling way to crappy to have done anything for Halloween, which includes missing last night's festivities, divalibby76 singing in Berlioz's "Faust" at Orchestra Hall, and a party at the house of friends that I haven't seen since they moved in. I'm especially bummed, because our house ended up doing an Alice In Wonderland costume theme, and I didn't get to be the White Rabbit. At the moment, I'm sitting at home, drinking cup after cup of chamomile tea, and hoping that I feel well enough to get up and sing in choir tomorrow morning, because we're singing a whole bunch of cool stuff, what for All Saint's Day and all.

But I have to say, this little video clip really made my night. Keep an eye out for the kitteh going headlong into the table leg.

Won't some violinist come over and play Sinfonia Concertante with me? I never have, believe it or not.
