Terrific article about how a passion can see you through the worst times imaginable. Amanda Petrusich writing is terrific and her articles always interesting; different, if you know what I mean.

I missed the mailman by 10 seconds and couldn’t track him down. I’m doing a slow burn but will go to the PO first thing Monday morning to see what’s going on.

The Coltrane set I purchased from Face of the Bass is taking its time getting here. It was supposed to be here Monday but was delayed. Then it was supposed to be out for delivery yesterday but wasn’t delivered. Now the tracking shows Awaiting Delivery Scan. Hopefully, it arrives today or Monday.

On top of everything, it’s not a great photo. Looks like something I could have taken, which ain’t sayin’ much.

Perhaps those days are gone, unfortunately.

Considering the iffy financial state of Mosaic, I think they have to be careful at what is in or is out of the set as the set might become too large, making it harder to sell, not to mention how much space large sets may take up in their office -- administrative costs, etc. Although I would like to see McVea included, it's better to have this set than not. Sometimes you have to make financial decisions as to what you can do.

It was a fun movie. We saw it at 3 and the place was packed. They even have a 3am showing tonight. We bought tickets a few weeks ago.

We’re seeing it in about 40 minutes.

Different mindsets and approaches.

One of a kind. “Havlicek stole the ball” is unforgettable. RIP.

This one might be interesting.

Who won?

I'm not sure if I'm up for a 12 cd box set whose theme is similar to what has been done in the past. Maybe no, maybe yes.

Did you just have one of everything or multiples in case somebody already ordered something I was interested in.

I assume you mean Cleveland, Ohio. That's along way from Jersey. I assume you were there for some other reason. The thing about getting into NY from NJ is that, depending where you live, it takes forever to get into NY. If you drive, it's a zoo and the train is just a royal pain.

Nice program David. Just listened to it. Thanks.

Do you live in NJ? Somehow I thought you lived in Maryland.

If you don’t have volume 2, you should pick it up.

Disc 1

I sort of know what you mean. I was in a Masters History program years ago, which didn’t work out and my field had its own jargon.

Is that your daughter?

Well, it was probably less than five. As Jim said, how he states it is the problem and the way he does obscures the message.
