Everyone in Kalamazoo is talking about this news. The announcement came out of nowhere: "WHAT A GIFT!" (WWMT) School administrators say Kalamazoo will be the only school district in the nation that will pay for all of its graduates to go to college. Superintendent Janice Brown announced th...

Walden, I'm sorry you've lost a woman who played such a big role in your life. Thanks for sharing a little of her with us.

With deepest sympathy,

Cara

Not to be confused with the Grand Rapids, Michigan band, Puck Faire.

I found myself taking a unexpected and rather lengthy vacation to a foreign land, which is the flowery version of "Deployed to Iraq". I realized that it might not be in my best interests to overly annoy someone carrying an automatic weapon. :lol: Funny and insightful. Great to have you he...

Hey! I'd really appreciate it if you didn't post my picture without my permission, Tyler. You don't understand how HOT it was that day. It was like 100 degrees. And humid. I didn't have the energy to hold up my arms, let alone my plastic cup of bourbon and soda. :wink: Besides, I haven't had a bette...

Congratulations for finding and securing a place to practice!

I just wanted to say, Jack, that if I ...

Oh no. I read "Saturday" and not "the 9th." I won't be there on that Saturday. I arrive on the 10th.

I'll have to see if I can meet you another time. If you can think of a good time for me to head your way, let me know. Sorry for the cornfyoozhun.

Oh yes, definitely. I hope you can make it!

I will have a car while I'm there...

Can't wait, Guillaume

I really, really wish I could help fund your time in Ireland by taking this off your hands. It looks beautiful.

Well I can say I got something right today. Happy to do that anytime. By the way, if you get a CD with the aria, you might be fooled at first when cueing up the track. The duet comes in after a minute or two of introduction (recitative), where Lakme is talking to her maid, Mallika. "Viens, Mall...
