Here's a brief rundown of whatever you want to call what Thom and I did on Sunday.
Thom's Strum Stick Thing - Written by R:Elvis and never recorded What I Want is a Proper Cup of Coffee - Trout Fishing in America "Big Trouble" 1991 http://tinyurl.com/3rrd4 Marvelous Toy - Tom Paxton - Performed by Peter, Paul & Mary and many other recording artists "Die beiden Grenadiere" (The Two Grenadiers) - Robert Schumann sung in English It turns out that Schumann was glorifying Napoleon's troops and their dedication. I had thought and maybe was told 12 years ago, when last I had sung this piece that it was a song written making light of their commitment to a lost cause. It's a good thing we now have the internet. It's easy to get things right. For the R:Geo Team: The caches we found were (in order): The Dragon Roars (Again) http://tinyurl.com/2qr8w The Elves Are Easily Overlooked http://tinyurl.com/5y2uc An Auxiliary Team went out on Tuesday to uncover: Crossroads http://tinyurl.com/7y4ge Anyone interested in my Monday night adventure is welcome to see my log of Picnics of the Past http://tinyurl.com/4cckq I'll prefix any questions with "Yes. I did know what I was doing and it was a blast." I'll have a scar to prove it, I'm sure. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the conference and in the R:Web class Tuesday and Wednesday. I had a long list of things to figure out and see and I left with an empty list. I've been to some very expensive conferences where the list was longer when I was leaving than at the registration table. As Claudine and Adrianna were leaving yesterday for the airport, Claudine said something poignant. "This is like a family reunion." Or something to that effect. I have to agree. Cheers!
