gm all

8:46 am

marksdolly

hi wleki

8:46 am

welki

anyone watch the blue jays/angels game last night?

8:48 am

welki

(i know sukee did, but she's not here) anyway, the woman who sang both anthems knocked my socks off - she was AMAZING

8:48 am

welki

like goosepimples, teary-eyed amazing

8:48 am

rururocks

are you still barefoot?

8:49 am

welki

yes, yes i am

8:50 am

rururocks

must have been a good performance then

8:51 am

welki

ru, i tell you - both anthems are difficult to sing, but the woman was perfect - just the right amount of emotion, perfect notes. i've been trying to find out what her name is, so far no luck

8:51 am

rururocks

I'm not sure I know the Canadian Anthem

8:51 am

welki

you know how, when someone sings the anthem, the us anthem, you wonder if they'll hit the high notes? well, there was no wondering about it

8:52 am

rururocks

Well the two worst I know are Roseanne Barr and Fergie

8:53 am

welki

and then the fighter squadron flying overhead was great punctuation for a great performance

8:55 am

welki

found it - Jill Marie Burke

8:56 am

72 Temple Owl

hello

8:58 am

welki

I just sent her a message :)

8:58 am

welki

hey owl

8:58 am

rururocks

wow.. that's resourceful

9:02 am

welki

strange i know, but i appreciate singers when they stay on target with the anthems. i don't care for the modernization of them, or when they add what they think are "interpretive" notes or phrases into them. (so says the old fuddy duddy who is listening to coltrane right now)

9:07 am

welki

<-- killed the chat. going to get another cup of coffee.

9:10 am

rururocks

(points out to welki the chat isn't very active with tiny grids as a rule)

9:13 am

welki

thanks, ru. so, the snow is finally starting to melt here and the ice should be off the lake in a couple of weeks

9:16 am

rururocks

wow.. almost spring here. Going to turn on the solar for my pool

9:16 am

rururocks

I can't wait for summer.. we've had a long wet misearable winter here

9:17 am

welki

there are places outside the house that are still 2' deep. how do i know? i know. *lol*

9:18 am

Christa

Good Morning

9:18 am

welki

yeah, you had a crappy winter, but hopefully water levels are a little better now. i know clear lake is looking better

9:18 am

welki

hi, christa

9:19 am

rururocks

yeah.. the drought is over here.. and rolled back

9:35 am

72 Temple Owl
