I was supposed to be singing with my choir in a big concert this weekend (a Widor mass, Basler's Missa Kenya). Took myself out of play when I didn't feel like going to rehearsal on Thursday. I think this was a good move; there's no way I would've made it through 2 hrs of rehearsal this morning and a long day tomorrow. Besides, I missed a significant number of rehearsals when I had laryingitis, so I'm not entirely comfortable with either piece of music. On the plus side, it give me a good chunk of time to prepare for the seminar that I'm giving on Tuesday. It also gives me more time to watch basketball this weekend. All in all, a good outcome. (I'd still like for the bug to GO AWAY!)

AD, I hope you feel better soon!

I am on a new laptop. I love my new laptop.
Best Buy had it on their front rack, it was priced $479. Originally it was over $500. They didn't have any specs on it, so I asked the guy to print out a spec sheet. He printed it out from their outlet center, and the price at the top of the page was $429. I asked if I could get that price, and he said they would match it. Wooohooo! :happy-bouncyblue:

Fordrl just texted me that they are getting ready to take a helicopter ride. I'm jealous...how fun! Hopefully she sends pics. (They are in Myrtle Beach on a "girls weekend".)

I took an introductory flight lesson here at the beach a few years ago..it was way cool. I got to take off, land, and fly the plane for about a half hour. The instructor never took over, which was both good and bad. Good because it was so fun, bad because I never got to take photos..lol.
