Well Jerry, believe it or not, this is the first time since Wednesday that I've even had access to the computer. Didn't get back from rehearsal last night til after 11--and Jan was still on--and stayed on til midnight. No rehearsal tonight--but again Jan was on til midnight. So I stayed upstairs and played the piano. Among other things she's concerned about some junk e-mail we've been getting. Fake names, addresses untraceable. She's now set up the computer to send all that stuff (it's all the same type)--immediately into the junkpile--and then to trash. But we'll have to try harder to find the source.

But I'm not about to lose any sleep over it. We'll try again tomorrow.

It seems to me the 'Cat has calmed down recently--would you agree? All we need now is for Shambles to go back to fighting PEL's (which is definitely a good cause)--and things will be the best they've been in years.

I certainly should be able to help keep the coffeepot on while you're gone in June--I'll have Mahler rehearsals and concerts and bluegrass and folk festivals--but I can certainly come into the kitchen (though obviously it can't be a soliloquy.) It's the least I can do for the cause.
