    It all sounds pretty....musical...

    Makes Room 101 sound good.

    Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

    I would love to go to Salzburg...though maybe I'll skip the Musical coach tours...those songs are really hard to sing; I guess that's why Jess and the cat keep giving me those pained looks

    I'm making a recording of my entire musical repitoire for Jess...one of her favorites is "Torn between 2 lovers"

    That's right. The guide - who was a Salzburg native - seemed a little bemused that it was so popular with tourists. We didn't partake.

    Of course, what I really hate about your singing is that it also gives me insight into what you are thinking.

    Of course, I get unnerved when I don't know what people are thinking. What do you think my former teacher would sing? Now that is scary.

    I think I would have missed that bus tour also; acutally, I'd probably drop dead from a lack of oxygen before I made it up the mountain...

    Well, at least mom is always thinking of love...unrequited and otherwise.

    I remember your dad used to sing Alice Coopers, "Dead Babies" to you; you would sit there and giggle...

    I think of your former teacher doing that last Johnny Depp musical about the barber...

    Yes, that does seem appropriate.

    Of course, she might have to change her outfit a bit; she already has that wild gaze
