    And as I am even older still I an not sure I agree.  I refused to let things get me down.   At Misty's age I was still working 2 contract, one full time and one part time, so leaving home at 4:30 am and getting back home around 5:00pm weekdays, half a day on Saturdays, without the early start.. Ok I had a Company vehicle,  but there was also a lot of walking around involved as well.  Although there was a lot of office work to be done I didn't have an office job as such as I as a Contract Manager in a large Contract services Company.  I worked for the company for 14 years and never had a day off sick.

    My point is we soldier on. Despite pain, despite illness (such as diabetes), despite the thousand natural shocks flesh is heir to, we maintain, we soldier on, we live. For what else can we do?

    almost found out what happens when a female betta and male betta are face to face with no tank divider between them.  I got my female betta out in time before I found out.

    craving a nice cold refreshing frappucino

    the sugar free vanilla isn't too bad.

    a plain cup of ice chips would be just as good right naos.  

    outshine ice pops, dreams, the pineapple ones. 

    banana smoothie.  would have to cross Johnson ave, busy road leads into the airport >.<  
    then walk a lil bit. would be a scary effort, frapp at the end of it, could get a melty cheese sammich there too.

    Do not judge a book by it's cover.  indecision

    Look inside, and when you realize you've seen that plot before and are not willing to kick a long dead horse, abandon it.  It's what I do (unless I'm feeling trollish)  . devil

    Go ahead and look.  Even if you discount the usual comments, there are some really nice renders in there.

    I'm back with another complaint.  Not a biggie but worthy of kvetching about.  I got a snail mail advertisement from the Buffalo Philharmonic about this weekend's concert.  It's Jean Sibelius' 2nd Symphony (yea!) smiley.  Another one of my favorites, and I haven't heard it live yet.smiley  I really want to go but...  Tickets for good seats are $80, there is no Sunday afternoon performance, I can't drive well at night, it's a two hour drive to Buffalo, the downtown streets of Buffalo are a rat's nest of twists, turns, one-way's and circles difficult even in the daytime, and I'm broke and have vowed to not burn anymore money from my savings till I replace it. sad

    I love the Sibelius 2nd Symphony.  I see it as a mental picture of a difficult journey through the Scandanavian mountains, in places grand, dark, dangerous, morose, joyful, fearful, or inspiring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAOf46CXaaw

    There are places where you can hear the main theme trying to emerge only to be submerged by darkness, till finally in the 4th movement it bursts through and engulfs you. (descriptions below are my feelings)

    1st Movement @ 0:00 the adventure begins naively but quickly troubles begin to periodically appear , but are quickly conquered in turn until...

    2nd movement @ 11:55 dark troubles abound, the path is lost, ...

    3rd movement @ 30:00 a promising path is found ...

    4th movement @ 35:50 the path is clear.  then @ 42:20 the clouds part (I cry every time) cryingyes  Then you brace yourself through the windstorm in the mountain pass @ 48:30 and stand on the far side of last ridge viewing your destination finally before you in the valley below, unobstructed. smiley

    ...one of the best descriptions I have read about this work. Your analysis of the final movement is spot on. Considering what I am going through right now, it is a very appropriate piece.

    Thanks.  For me, the music speaks of a journey loud and clear.  I've read academic accounts suggesting that the meaning is connected to Finland's independence but I think that's reading too much into it.  It's a journey of beautiful music.

    But then again, I tend to gravitate toward art that represents a journey or story.  For example I love Thomas Cole's four paintings Voyage of Life https://blogs.uoregon.edu/natewoodburyaad250/2012/12/02/art-research-thomas-cole-the-voyage-of-life/ and have seen all four of them in one place decades ago.  (I love the dream city/palace in the 2nd picture)

    Similarly, Cole's Course of Empire http://www.jcrows.com/cole.html is a clear statement of the inevitable path of civilization and empire.  I've also seen all five of these HUGE paintings at the National Gallery in Washington DC decades ago when they were brought together temporarily and exhibited in the same room for the first time as they were intended.  The link above gives good verbal description of the scenes but to really appreciate them you need to see them in person.  The next best thing is this link http://www.explorethomascole.org/tour/items/63/zoom where you can zoom way in, full screen it, and pan around to see the incredible detail.

    Detailed, talented painting sequences, like the two I mentioned, are like movements of a symphony.

    A Windows 8 computer doesn't recognize my friend's Android smartphone when I connect it using a USB cable.  Maybe I should buy a micro SD card and adapter to transfer music and photos from the phone to the computer.  The computer recognizes my tablet and camera though.
