Out of curiosity, does anybody out there have the original cast recording of Riverdance? I'm trying to hunt down the original "Lift the Wing," sung by an amazingly beautiful alto voice. Everything i've heard since has a soprano/tenor duet I've never enjoyed nearly as much as the original.

I just began my penultimate day at Whole Foods. It's a little surreal. There's a good bit of gearing up to go, winding down, making sure the rest of the team is ready to take over. At the same time, though, it's very much business as usual. I'm on gelato this morning because one of the TMs is on vacation and it's quiet. I'm logging received ( Read more... )

Anywho, somebody posted a link the other day to an Australian article with the headline "KIDS as young as three are going bush hunting with their parents in a trend that experts fear will teach them ( Read more... )

I got a call from Andrea (Village Hearth) today. Apparently the renovation of the former living space into a cafe area is going more slowly than had been anticipated. He's thinking Easter is pretty much out of the question -- probably will start things up two weeks later. Of course, my initial reaction was something on the lines of "NOOOOOOOOO ( Read more... )

Just a heads up to the friends back home, Jason and I just booked our tickets back to the midwest yesterday. We fly into Chicago on Thursday, May 28th, get the rental car, and promptly drive to Iowa, ETA 7-8 pm. We'll be in Iowa until the morning of June 3rd and from there it's back to Chicago through Monday the 8th ( Read more... )

"So this is the carrot cake?"
