Things I have learned or had reinforced in the last 24 hours:
White people can sing negro spirituals, but they really shouldn't try to dance them onstage.
Canadian composers of choral music really, really, really suck. Except for Mark Sirett.
Banning teenagers from doing anything is not only silly, it's an exercise in utter futility. Unless they're doing crack, really, save your breath. BTW, welcome back, TC :)
Seasons 1 & 2 of Homicide: Life on the Streets will be out on DVD soon! Whoo! I just may clear a whole lot of VCR tape space!
