Long time, no see!

We have moved up to the Columbia river valley of Washington. I'm building a good sized music studio (31x41 with a loft). Installing 3 Hauptwerk instruments an 1 reed organ. Going to Budapest in 3 weeks to tour several organ installations and have conversations with an acoustical engineer.

Hope you are doing well. Love to see you again.

I do read your LJ, so I've been following. Sorry I haven't posted a comment in a while. The organ project sounds very exciting! When you're done, I will probably come see it. I went to S.F. for 8 days at the end of the year, and I missed seeing you and seeing the organ. (My pipe organ is actually very likely going to get a new division. Casavant Frères visited our organ several months ago. I think if I can do some lobbying for the expense, it will be in the bag.)

There is one thing I'm confused about: Roscoe. I do remember a tearful farewell to a new family in CA after he had behaved very aggressively in the van. But then it seems several weeks after the move to Naselle, Roscoe was again part of the family.

I'm sure I will make a trip to Seattle or Portland in the next couple of years. I'll be sure to let you know when that happens.

That is a tale of love, deceit and success. After the last time Roscoe attacked Nigel, Morgan put his foot down. Nigel could not come home until Roscoe was gone. The whole affair smacked of the unknown, but I had played all of my cards, so I had no choice but to get Roscoe out of the house. I solicited the help of the behavior trainer that ran the doggie bootcamp Roscoe attended, but when I took him there, I arranged to have him boarded for a month or so while I tried to figure out what to do. The plan was hatched to just keep the dogs separate since the new house had multiple fenced in areas and could be segregated inside as well when all three were in the house. Morgan moved up first with Rachel and Nigel and a day or so later, I picked up Roscoe. The behaviorist said that Roscoe did well but he was so unsure of himself and that caused him to lash out. Nigel may have also been provoking him. So, I worked with Roscoe and prayed a lot. I was so wrapped up in this dog that I could not give him up. On the day we packed up to

I'm so pleased that everyone is together and living in doggie harmony. I do know that you are attached to Roscoe. He is a magnificent (and very large) creature.
