1. Thunder and Lightning, you say?!1

Wherein the strings, woodwinds, and percussion go *nuts* - whilst the brass is restrained, contained, with perfect embouchures, and the slap-stick is demure. And the conductor might take a turn as the Professor in Rocky Horror.

2. But I love him anyway!

How many choices did anyone have?

[UTUSN]

3. I luerve him *more*!1 There's *no* discernible vonK about him!1

VonK would have used a sledge hammer. Mariss has JOY!

4. Exactly, and that's why I love him!

Never thought I'd love a conductor (except for Lenny, of course,) til is saw him in action (live or recorded on TV) a few years ago, and it's been clear ever since! Watching the Strauss again!

5. youtube has LOTS of free movies. That's what we watched last night.

6. Thanks. Haven't done that (I think.) Will check it out.

DTv was restored after a couple of hours, so I survived!

7. not impressed w direct tv.

going out in a thunderstorm is so 1950s.
and the on demand is a stupid swamp. putting up showtime and hbo movies in the free movie tab is irritating as all get out.

broke down and got amazon prime and really enjoying their video selection. better than netflix.
