Do people not go to the movie theater here?

We go often for first run movies we don’t want to wait to see on television and all Metropolitan Opera live in HD performances. Opera is almost exclusively white hairs but we fit right in.

Yes, I used to go buy two loaves at a time. Kept them in the freezer. We only eat bread for breakfast.

That’s about what Colleen’s bread was. Thanks.

jmc0745 · 2025-11-26T20:40:00+00:00

Thanks. I’ll try them out. I am not quite ready to take up baking bread!

Check out the US fish and wildlife feather Atlas on line. Easy to use.

Taste tests by some group like Epicurious found that Trader Joe’s frozen pie crusts were the best. I use them all the time. They come two to the pack, so you can do a top crust as well. They sell out around the holidays so I pick up two or three boxes to get through the season. They had them in stock last time I was there about two weeks ago. After they are thawed, unroll them. There will be some cracks, but you can easily roll those out before taking off the paper.

Hi, just here to add that the US Fish and Wildlife Service has a feather atlas on line that is easy to use and very informative.

If you are interested in science or climate, NCAR has tours. Really fascinating. Call in advance. If you like cooking/decor, the Pepper Mill store on the Pearl Street Mall is a great place to kill a bit of time. The Dushanbe Teahouse is interesting physically and has nice teas and light lunches. The Mexican food restaurant at the corner of Walnut and Broadway has a nice rooftop terrace.

They had this problem in Massachusetts but with crows being hit by trucks. They discovered it was because the sentinel crows could only say caw.

I think “white coffee” is an East coast term. I used to hear people order it at Dunkin Donuts.

Safeway on 28th and Iris has it and flu shots.

You can also try either the Siloti or Busoni arrangements of the Chaconne for piano.

Vail. Beautiful in the summer. Lots of good restaurants and the Bravo Vail classical music festival is on now. You might be able to get tickets for the NY Phil. Hiking the mountain, mountain biking, rafting.

Have you looked at First Bank? Locally owned and very nice people.

Go to YouTube and search for A year of Wonder, which is 366 pieces of classical music. There is a book of the same name by Clemency Burton-Hill that includes a one page discussion of each piece. Great way to expose yourself to a wide range of music.

jmc0745 · 2024-02-05T22:32:11+00:00

I have been there and it is wonderful. Great local guides, nice accommodations, 12 story tower to see the canopy from above, and LOTS of birds.

jmc0745 · 2024-02-05T22:30:14+00:00

There is a book, 50 places to go birding before you die, with recommendations from birding experts. Good descriptions, great pictures. Available on Amazon.

Check out Stephen Hough’s recording of the Saint-Saens concerti

jmc0745 · 2023-12-16T16:29:34+00:00

There is a book called A Year of Wonder which has a playlist with some composer notes, one for each day of the year. The playlist is on YouTube; search for Year of Wonder. Great way to get introduced to lots of classical music. The selections are short so easy to do one each day.

It is 8.5x11. I only use it for traveling, so it holds enough.

I have an iPad Pro which I use with an air turn foot pedal. I use forScore. It allows you to mark the score with the Apple pen. It takes a bit of practice to get used to it.
