Keeo me logged in dirsnt work any better on ios safari
Nor does it seem like that on chrome iOS.
...that happens with some frequency where I live. Occurred again the other evening.
Often it's caused someone burning something in their kitchen. The real downside is I have to trudge down 5 floors of fairly steep polished concrete stairs with my creaky old bones and joints . Sometimes by the time I get outside the "emergency" is over, and then I wait for the lifts to be turned on again and for everyone else to go back up first.
...more important. Sales will happen here again, they always do.
...I thought Stewart was perfect casting for Xavier. Of course I was a collector of the comic book from the 1970s. I always imagined Xavier talking in a nice proper educated British tone.
...well most of the other symptoms of the bug I picked up are gone after my barrage with Theraflu, all except for the annoying nagging cough that again kept waking me up last night. Today my ribs and abdominal muscles ache from all the coughing. Feels like I had been in the ring for several rounds with Sonny Liston and took a number of punches to the gut and ribs. Also feel tired. I'm sort of fine when I sit up or stand but once I lay down, the coughing fits begin again. Can't sleep sitting up or standing. .
miso soup? feel better soonest!
...thank you. I have old fashioned chicken noodle. That helps keep the energy up, but does nothing for the dry cough that has been making me so miserable.
Use a couple of extra pillows and rest in a sort of 45 degree angle. Sounds weird but it does help
Or sleep in a recliner. I do that when I have congestion and runny nose. Laying flat out just makes it worse.

Apparently I need to go to crisis because I am making too much noise cleaning my room or something. Also I am apparently a liar.
I'd have loved that, and a prince to go with it- or an outfit like this formal wear. ( American Irish near me do wear kilts)
Big Non-Complaint: Duke is the ACC Champion
..I do but it doesn't help.
...don't have one.
...Big Complaint #1: Duke is the ACC Champion.
Big Complaint #2, Wisconsin lost to Sparty. I'd take a loss to any other Big Ten team than Michigan State. There is so much bad blood between these schools and most is instigated on MSU's end.
Big Non Complaint:: Kansas lost to Iowa State.
...oh, and Oregon blew by Washington by 20 points to win the Pac12 title.
...well, made another sojourn outside today as the weather was so nice. Went ot a local coffee shop sat outside sipping a fine brew in the sun. Stopped at the market and picked up a bottle of cough medicine, will see if that doesn't help me sleep tonight. Crikey, OTC meds are getting expensive. A bottle of Nyquil is now 12$, That is more than my prescriptions under Medicaid. Had to settle for standard cough elixir.
They used to sell these wedge pillows, firm foam inside, that prop you up at an angle. They might make a new version with memory foam, I don't know. Maybe you can find one of those. That might help. I know a new bed that raises you is too expensive. I'd love one of those, too, but can't afford one.

..oh I'd love one of those too, not just expensive but a bear to get up to the 5th floor as the frames are heavy. Not even sure it would fit in the lift.
Yeah, I may try Target, see if they have one of those wedge pillows. For tonight I'll just use several stacked pillows.
...just got done listening to this one organist in France who is an improvisationalist. Totally blown away as she creates real music instead of random noise like most others do when they improvise today. She also looked like she was having fun as well.
Didn't cough a lick while listening.
Music really does have that soothing power. Well, off to bed but not before taking my medicine. Hopefully I'll sleep better tonight.
...late night 'Plaint:
Ugh packaging designers, I swear they have it in for arthritic people like myself . Opened the sealed box containing the bottle cough elixir, the bottle itself had a plastic wrap around it and the dose cup that I had to struggle with, after that there was one of those "parent proof caps" (the kids can always seem to get them open) which when i finally got that off revealed one of those impossible to remove foil seals on top (that always are fastened down with too much glue and has no tabs to grasp). I mean how many "protections" do they need to put on this stuff?
Finally got the bugger open. Night All.
True about the music vs noise. There is sometimes a couple minute place in some piano concertos where the pianist is permitted (but not required) by the composer's notes to insert an improvisation without the orchestra. I think it's called a "recitatif"? (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong) Some pianists don't don't bother or can't but some of them do and they shouldn't.
When the pianist is also the composer the improvisation can be incredible as he lets loose his muse, free from the frozen notes on the page and lets the unpublished fragments of his mental music explode in unfettered fireworks for our unique in time and space enjoyment. Some great pianists also know a particular composer's style so well that they can successfully improvise and play with the composer's music.
But I've been victim to a few performances where the pianist was out his his league and just didn't have it. And shouldn't have tried. It's like watching a beautiful high definition color movie and all of a sudden a grainy black and white home movie is cut into the middle of it. The difference is like day and night.
I as merely a frustrated amateur pianist could play parts of Beethoven's, Chopin's, and Rachmaninoff's music but I played my best and most freely when I was playing my own music. It was simple music and wasn't great but it was well executed and was mine and it was different everytime as I tapped into my little rivulet of the stream of music from the cosmic consciousness. It was the best I could play and there were no mistakes because whatever came out was what I worked with for the next cycle around a few moments later. Great fun.
But I knew when to not get a swelled head about it. I played to my heart's content only when in private but would, when asked, play a small sample for others.
I knew a really good concert pianist who performed professionally and even made a couple of recordings in NYC, and I loved his skill at Beethoven, Chopin, and Rachmaninoff so I asked him to play a little of his own music for me. I asked him to play his stuff that he plays when he's just playing for fun? He didn't have any.
I was shocked and disappointed that someone this good on the keyboard didn't make his own music. It's like finding out that a fine artist was just painting by numbers. 
Non-complaint: Wheee... it's a bright sunny morning after weeks of overcast days, and my kitchen windowsill prisms are in their glory. While the sun was still low in the sky the spectrum from my 6 inch vertical triangular prism was 5 inches in height and 4 inches wide and was projected high on my white refrigerator door. It shortened and widened as the sun rose. The tri-color beam(s) from my cubical prism could be found in several places in the kitchen and through the door into the dark livingroom. And the random scatterings from the two faceted glass stoppers in the oil and vinegar cruets were sprinkled all over the kitchen. Wheee..., morning fireworks!
too cold to open windows yet. sprinnnng fever
I need to get out into my flower garden and but feeling too lazy this morning.
Happy Saint Patrck's Day !
Same for everyone from me too!
Happy St. Patricks Day.
Cadenza. Many recent concertos (last couple of centureis) provide composed cadenzas but older ones mostly leave it to the performaer, though for many later performers or editors have since written sections that many performers use rather than improvise.
