There's nothing like belting out a high note while on your knees on an opera stage! It's quite exhilirating, mostly because, when you sing really high, you get this big rush of oxygen to your head.<br />It is sad to lose so many musical legends in one year. They give us so much joy and entertainment.<br />Dementia is a cruel condition. It is hard to believe that anyone could get to the point of forgetting how to eat.<br />Oh, and one more thing... about your utensils... if you can't sell them and you don't want to keep them, you might consider donating them to your nearest or your favorite historical society.

I thought about all those people we depend on to keep the services that we need for modern life going and how they have to be on the job 24 hours a day, every day. Most of the electricity grid is automated and handled by computers these days, but there are still lineman out there who go out in all kinds of weather to allow us live our lives as we are accustomed to. Glen Campbell's cover of Jimmy Webb's lyrics is very evocative of that. BTW, our power came back on five hours later. Life continues.
