None of these. Mrs. GJ likes the West side near F&M better. We went to two open hice out that way and she is now thinking more favorably toward Lancaster - mostly I think it was just the particular house we saw on Saturday. It was nice, but it was on a busy street, and that put her off a bit. That, and the sidewalks were really uneven in places - tree-lined streets LOOK great, but tree roots **** up sidewalks but good!
She might like Pitt better, it is a larger city than Lancaster and has more of a "midwest" vibe to it. But their weather is suckier.

What a lovely way to start a Monday. I pride myself about running on time. My first patient was scheduled at 8AM. By 8:30 we figured that the patient was not coming in. Turns out he was there all along and a snafu at the front desk prevented him from "showing up" in the system. So now I am going to be 30 minutes behind just to start.
edit: now my front desk tells me he came in 25 minutes late. Everyone has a different angle on this.
double edit: turns out the patient WAS on time and the front desk person did not realize system did not acknowlege.

I like - keep on keeping on !
neither t2p or mrs t2p played an instrument - but we encouraged the kids to play and supported them
our school district was key - has a great music program and both kids took advantage of it
1600 kids alone participate in the strings program grades 3-12 - can’t get them all on stage - so they created the ‘strolling strings’
found a video of t2p oldest kid playing piano … this was his last high school concert … he played violin in the orchestra - but did the piano solo introduction for the strolling strings

For some reason I have this Vaughn Williams in my head now. I'm trying to rationalize or link it to t2p's vid but I'm not connecting the dots lol. Popped in my head while I was listening to it.
You may remember it from "Master and Commander". The main melody starts around 1:45 in this vid and man it just hits

It's not a given when a patient has a long wait time.

This is always fun to look at, but I honestly wonder how much the wind-tunnel information translates out into real-world road conditions with lots of changes in wind and turbulence etc. that cannot be replicated in the tunnel. Even the rider's dynamics of leg motion and subtle side-to-side movement of the bike may render this wind tunnel data to be less useful.

Another live band last night, this time at the house behind my neighbor. It was very windy and chilly but these guys were undaunted. They were so loud it was incredible. What they lacked in musicianship they made up for with volume. Bass and bass drums, same beat and bass line nearly every song. And tuba, omg. 1 or 2 notes from the tuba over and over ad nauseum.
I tried to go to sleep at 11:00 and I put earplugs in and covered my head with pillows to no avail. That bass and thumping drum gets through anything. Around midnight I realized it had stopped.
