• Ballet and beyond

    To see ballet on TV is nice, and I’ll be looking for DVD’s a good versions of The Sleeping Beauty, no doubt, but I really have to say it’s a live perfomance that one can appreciate more, and treasure the experience. [See the post previous to this one, Sleeping Beauty – The Russian National Ballet…

  • Sleeping Beauty – The Russian National Ballet – Athens, GA

    My 7 year old daughter and I saw Tchaikovsky’s The Sleeping Beauty (ballet) yesterday (Sunday, February 26, 2006). It was part of the UGA’s 10th Anniversary concert series, held in the Fine Arts Center. The ballet was lovely, enchanting, engaging. Quite a memory to be made. The dancers were wonderful, their performances near flawless or…

  • We Be Illin

    My littlest one got sick this morning. Hindsight tells me he has a virus that has been bugging at him for a day or so. He has wanted to eat, but refused to eat much all day yesterday, supper the night before he didn’t want either. He’s also been more prone to cry and act…

  • February Spring

    Tomorrow should be a fine late Spring day, only it’s still Winter 😉 The Weeping Willow tree is greened out and getting it’s long lush look back, after dormancy for the “winter” ha ha. The few cold snap promises we’ve had haven’t done any damage to the trees that are waking up. Yes we’ve had…

  • Russian National Ballet – The Sleeping Beauty (Tchaikovsky)

    Early last month (January 2006) I found out that the Russian National Ballet would be at UGA for their concert series … performing The Sleeping Beauty (Tchaikovsky) in February (26th.) I asked my hubby to please call and find out if there were tickets available and that if it was too expensive for all of…

  • My New Laptop

    I was able to get a new laptop this past week, finally. I’ve been using the desktop, which has been an upgrade in progress for some time, very stable since changing the motherboard to an Athlon 64 instead of the older (not THAT old though) Athlon XP motherboard. The board wasn’t that old, as I…

  • President’s Day?

    Today is “President’s Day” in the U.S. … a holiday I’ve always been loathe to “celebrate”. It’s not a “holiday” holiday, just a federal “no mail or banks” sort of day. You know, the things that are federal or nearly so, like schools of all sorts. 😉 Long we celebrated Washington’s birthday on Feb. 22…

  • Dogs and Westminster 2006

    So the Westminster Dog Show for 2006 is over. The dog I liked was the first doggie to win his Group to get into the “Best In Show”. I didn’t write about it. I didn’t feel the need to. I did write about the French Bulldog earlier, but that is just a post about wanting…

  • Site Doesn’t Co-operate with me

    MYSQL was down on this site for awhile this afternoon, and that’s the time I was “going to” upgrade something, so then I couldn’t. Now I do not feel up to doing it, but of course, MYSQL is working again … figures.
