With so many siblings, we have it often, but tonight it was somewhat pointed.
DD, have you recovered from the long weekend?

Most of the siblings never lived in the current family home, so for the younger ones it will be hard to give up! Enough of that!
L, the papers are all over the Bradley b-ball team!

Brdlwyr - for better or worse, you parents are lucky to have kids that care, and siblings to share the burden with.
It is never easy watching parents face challenges and changes.
I hope everyting is OK.
And liotte, on a much lighter note, I will take the one with the Tequila, but make it a double.

Posted: 3/20/06 at 10:40pmAnd Addy, I have been having a great discussion with people in the Spelling Bee Love thread, it's keeping me on the main board more frequently. Now with Tarzan, I will be there a bit more.

I'll have to go read those.
I've been enjoying the theatre discussions on that board lately. (I was posting on the Jacques Brel thread, but it's dropped off the main page.)

Margarits? Interesting...
I am driving to Jersey tomorrow, so I should go to sleep rather soon. But since I got 15 hours last night, I'm not really tired.

Nothing is quite as entertaining as watching two cats run around like cartoon characters after a glass of red wine.
Brd, you can have my lime if you want, it does not go well with Cab anyway (but a shot - hell, its Monday!).

New Avatar Addie? Or, New Old Avatar. Perhaps an ode to spring. Very pretty!

Old new avatar. Or, is that new old avatar? ...
I actually have an even prettier version of it - with her hat in pink. I have it in a file on another computer, so I'll have to update it tomorrow.
Yes, I thought something new for Spring would be nice.
(My signature, too. From the song that chokes me up at the end of Jacques Brel... "If We Only Have Love". Simply perfect.)

Well, I simply adore this current production.
It's a musical 'review', liotte. Do you enjoy that kind of show?

Brd was quoting the song "Children Will Listen" earlier today, and though I am not huge a Sondheim fan, that song always get me so very sad, because so very people realize that they are not only seen, but not heard.
And, both DD and DG had said some very wonderful things about you on Friday.
And liotte, I have a bias, but yes, they are very cute. I told a few stories about the grey one dragging the Siamese like a sock puppet which she was a kitten.

No - not that kind of 'review'... It's hard to describe, so here's a write-up that might help explain:
Jacques Brel is a librettoless miracle of a show! It includes 20-plus songs of the more than 300 that Brel wrote in his lifetime.
Born in Belgium in 1929, Jacques Brel was the son of a cardboard manufacturer and was being groomed to take over the family business. Already interested in music, he spurned the idea of life in the family factory. Performing and writing were his keys to freedom.
In his early twenties, Brel went to France and sang his songs in the taverns, cafes and inns of the villages and towns of the French countryside. Bit by bit he built up a large and most devoted audience, and became the leading "chansonnier" or "troubadour pop" singer and song writer of France. he went on to Paris as a true star and made the city his home.
By 1959 his intriguing poetry and music had been discovered by producer/translator Eric Blau who, with rock composer Mort Shuman, adapted and assembled twenty-four of Brel's songs into a musical production format. Brel gave his approval, and in 1967 the show opened at The Village Gate in New York where it ran for five years.
Because of Brel's strong opposition to American involvement in Vietnam, he refused to attend his show's world premiere. Several years later in 1969 Brel did attend a performance at The Village Gate. He returned again in 1972 when the show played to a packed house at Carnegie Hall in celebration of its fourth anniversary. He was delighted with the show, and took a bow.
Jacques Brel died in 1978, but his music lives on. His songs are bittersweet, of somber subjects ... life hurts, youth dies, understanding heals, love warms. His words portray people who are unwilling, in spite of all they experience, to abandon either the joy of life or the hope that makes life worth living. He speaks to us in the universal language of the heart. This is the soul of Brel, and we are privileged to share it with our audience.
