How cool is this? I just had to post this for all my musican/musical theater people. He posted a PDF and recording of his arrangement of “Sunday” for Sondheim’s 80th birthday celebration. I’m at work as I write this so I haven’t listened to it yet, but I will soon.

P.S. I think maybe he needs to get his blog to show the title of the post in the title of the webpage, no? (When folks link to it it may help distinguish.)

You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed.

Henrik Ibsen

Anything that endures over time sacrifices its ability to make an impression.

Robert Musil

Sometimes I feel:

• sad

• hurt

• alone

• angry

• unsure

• incomplete

I do not ever:

• hate

• despise

• regret

• gossip

• betray

• assume

I do:

• forgive

• forget

• honor

• love

• live

• hope

I wish I could:

• help

• heal

• fix

• respond

Someone I once knew openly pondered about folks who eat alone in restaurants.

Today I was the guy eating alone. Like most days. Only today it was in public.

The short answer is: they eat because they’re hungry. They eat alone because they want to. Or they don’t have anyone to eat lunch with. There were other people at tables for one. They didn’t look particularly lonely or sad.

Truth be told, they forgot to ask me if I wanted my order to go and I figured eh, what the heck, I’d get out of the office for 15 minutes longer anyway.

When widely followed public figures feel free to say anything, without any fact-checking, we have a problem. It becomes impossible for a democracy to think intelligently about big issues — deficit reduction, health care, taxes, energy/climate — let alone act on them.
