Left out

I'm guessing this sculpture is by Rodin - and that the guard is being left out of the conversation.

Heading off soon to the dress rehearsal of tonight's BSO program - I'm hoping that La Fleming doesn't mark her way through the Strauss.* Barely a couple inches of snow here after all the hoopla yesterday - which, I suppose is a blessing getting around here today - my across-the-street neighbor, whose husband died in Nov, & whose son had some kind of weird seizure a couple weeks ago & is still in the hospital, had to go to the hospital herself a week or so ago & have surgery done to remove a blockage of her carotid artery (on top of her diabetes), has to go to the hospital today to have her staples (whatever that is) removed this early afternoon so not having over a foot of snow will certainly make her life easier.

Today's Closer to Truth was "What is God like" - or as I wished it were "What is Godlike?" http://tinyurl.com/yc43cpw As usual, I found Huston Smith's (he of the experience with many faiths) interview the most interesting. I've learned that they do have the title of the show @ the beginning & if you search for that you can find the interviews, though there's no podcast per se of the 30 minute program. Another interesting thing is that there are _more_ and longer interviews on the website. As my Alexander said, "pretty heady stuff for 7:30 in the morning."

Acupuncture tomorrow & then a blessed week of only having to leave the house for next Friday's appt. The last couple weeks have been hectic with MD appts., etc. Don't know why they all seem to cluster together, but it sure is nice to have next Monday off from the orchestra & no grocery runs or other trips in the offing. Hope all's well by you. OXOXO JR
