gacked from several people:

Name a CD you own that you think no-one else on your friends list does.

Gorillas in the Mix - it's jazz made from samplings of animal sounds such as drumfish - and a parrot named Turkey Corwin.

Name a book you own that you think no one else on your friends list does.

Way too easy: Actuarial Mathematics by Bowers et al. From one of my many ventures into strange college degrees.

Name a movie you own on DVD/VHS/whatever that you think no-one else on your friends list does.

Doubt there is one - I don't own many at all. I'm sure at least half my friends list has all the Firefly stuff, and the first two seasons of Andromeda. And no one else has some of the obscure crafts videos I have, but those aren't movies.

Name a place that you have visited that you think no-one else on your friends list has.

The BMW museum in Munich

Name a piece of technology or any sort of tool you own that you think no-one else on your friends list has.

Heh, does a baritone saxophone count? Other than that, maybe my little baby bread maker, the Just for Dinner, that makes a teeny 8-slice loaf of bread.

recovering from all that tubing

OK, I slept all day Sunday, which is why you didn't get a report on the Army Band Tuba-Euphonium Conference (hereinafter ABTEC or just TC) as soon as it ended. Them tubers know how to party!

Rehearsal tonight! Supper at the Broadway Diner!
This week's upcoming events: the usual rehearsals; appointment with electrophysiologist on Wednesday to see about additional pacemaker improvements/surgery; must find dentist, as I have had a temporary crown on one tooth since June, when the old crown fell off the week before we were leaving Austin, and that temporary crown is finally beginning to show some wear and tear - it should have been replaced by a new crown within a month of when I got it. Dentist, dentist, must find dentist. Must pay for another month of storage unit, and put more things into it. Things we have already accomplished as the week begins: get spare keys cut for house. Purchased chinchilla food, and a new, allegedly dripless, bottle for the swampy guinea pigs. I will believe that when I see it.
