I never really went away. I'm just so swamped with work, which keeps interfering with my *life*! I've been deleting a lot of stuff without reading it so I hope I didn't miss anything good! I keep coming back to over 100 e-mails. I've been reading the e-mails from people who quit their jobs to do what they *really want to do*. Let me tell you, I'm jealous. My job is driving me crazy, but I'm the only wage-earner in the family so I can't just quit Omigod, I'm a prisoner - I'd slash my wrists if I thought it would do any good. Are there communes anymore? I'd go live on one, but I don't like people that much, and I don't like sharing, so that's really not an option, is it? Damn. Noted the stuff about school choirs and what they're singing these days. The stuff my kids' school choir does is pretty darn sophisticated compared to what any of their other schools used to do, but I think they're blessed with a really good vocal teacher. I'm amazed he can get this stuff out of even the youngest kids - their Christmas concert is always a big hit and I never come away from one without tears in my eyes (the good kind, not the "God, what awful singing" kind). As to the Pagliacci summer frocks, I figure it just refers to fluffy frilly ones - the kind of thing you see around the clown's neck in the typical Pagliacci picture. Maybe I'm just too superficial - I don't know much about opera. I wonder if it's even the opera Joni's referring to? --- Wally Kairuz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > catherine!!!!!!!! you're resurfaced!!! glad to hear > from you! > wallyK Get your free @yahoo.ca address at http://mail.yahoo.ca
