I mounted Beast and Belle on Stan's percussion setup. 

Lots of animation and sounds!

Look at the beta of my new home page and tell me what you think.

This lovely fountain expresses, in sculptural form, how we are clogging our precious waterways with detergent. 

I have just set up the keyboard for Beauty and the Beast.  

Our theater is the Wells Fargo Pavilion so lots of people think it is a bank. 

The Starbuck's across the street from Music Circus... the best place in Sacramento to pick up a dancer. 

Morgan and Rachel looking at websites and instant-messaging. (Notice the webcam that I got her for her birthday!) I said, "My college sucked. We didn't have computers... all we had was sex and drugs." 

I started doing loops for web flash animations. In exchange, the designer is going to redo my web site. This is my sketch for my new home page.

I parked across the street from the theater today and walked across with Rachel. One of her colleagues from the costume shop said, "I did what you just did the other day and got a $121 ticket for jaywalking."

Rachel spent her birthday with her friends at the Jelly Belly factory in Fairfield, 45 minutes away (or "a hard day's ride.") She wasn't allowed to take pictures, but she described a worker's paradise where the denizens take their jelly beans very seriously.

I finished all the Best of Broadway arrangements today. This pile of paper actually represents only about half of them; I've already put the other half in the books.
I put this music in the books while watching a DVD of The Hudsucker Proxy. Great movie!

This giant plush toy is called Dumpster Bear because the owners found him in a dumpster. He is always on the bench because no one plays the piano. I've tuned the piano at least three times and every time the same piece of music is on the stand --- "My Little Town" by Paul Simon. I used to think the refrain went "nothing but the day and the night back in my little town..." but according to this sheet music the words are "nothing but the dead and the dying." Much darker.

The front of my Kurzweil module, with another Beauty image and also some pictures by cartoonist Charles Burns. I named the module Jeannie after Jennifer's childhood moniker. Also note the picture of Rachel on the data wheel.

Rachel still has her Burger King Beauty and the Beast figurines from when the cartoon came out. I am going to put them on my keyboard when I play the show. Should provoke smiles and stunned silences.

The most exciting thing in Rio Linda

This structure is at the intersection of Main Street and Rio Linda Boulevard. While taking this picture, I narrowly missed driving my car into an enormous pothole.

I also missed taking a picture of one of the greatest signs ever. The owner of a big truck had intended to put a sign saying OVERSIZE on the back of it. He started with OVRESIZ in big letters, but ran out of room and had to finish with a tiny E.

If you apply this device to your face for nine minutes daily, it's supposed to reverse the effects of time. On your face. 

This is Dr. Phil's Bose PA. It's quite a conversation starter. I don't know if it's a great PA (he says it is), but it's great marketing. He even mentions it on his business card. 

My customer Phil Seyer is a keyboardist, DJ, and dance instructor. Is he a real doctor? I never asked. 

This is an incredible poster for the Sacramento French Film Festival. Click here for a better look at this image.

Rachel's friend Morgan asked her to write on his arm what she thought his mood was. She wrote AIRED OUT because, she explained, he smelled so fresh that he must have been aired out. He responded by writing UNRESPECTFUL TO PARAPLPOIOS on her arm.

Rachel: "It's gotten so you can't tell which watermelons are gay anymore." 

My webcam and the image of myself in the laptop. 

Yet another version of the sign saying the light doesn't work. Someone keeps stealing the sign. 

I am not a dog person, but I LOVE watching a clever dog chase a Frisbee. 

The Plymouth Aztek we rented had a terribly small view through the rear view mirror. However, it is a paramilitary-looking vehicle somewhat resembling the Batmobile in "Batman Begins." 

Hello, Newman. 

This is a little snack that Mary Ann put out for us. Jennifer says she's another Martha Stewart; I say put Martha and Mary Ann in a cage and see who comes out alive.
