    And, further, to confuse matters even more, this particular march also has a subtitle, "Land of Hope and Glory," which refers to words that were written to go with this music. So, the complete title, if you will, of this march is Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 in D major, "Land of Hope and Glory." Here endeth the music lesson. For now. Unless I have something to add later. About this or something else.

    Yeah, but Chief's diploma was still chiseled on rock. (It had to be said.)

    Actually, Brian ... you don't have this quite right. Pomp and Circumstance is the larger work; or rather, it's the name given to a grouping of marches. And the one that most are familiar with, because it's used at graduations, is March No. 1 in D major. The official title of that particular march is Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 in D major (and NOT March No. 1 in D major from Pomp and Circumstance.) Sometimes you'll hear orchestras do several of these marches together in a concert, but rarely would you hear all five of them; and most often you'll just hear them performed individually as each is its own work in and of itself. It's not like Pomp and Circumstance is a larger work, like a symphony, and one the marches is an equivalent to one of the movements in that larger work. Put it a different way ... a symphony would be like a book, one large book, with one story start to finish, and the chapters in that book would be like the movements in a symphony; Pomp and Circumstance would be like a large book of stories; each story is separate from the next ... different plot, different characters from one to the next. The marches grouped under the title Pomp and Circumstance would be like these individual stories in this larger collection. And I'm sure that's all clear as mud. But I tried.

    Concert tonight so definitely won't be leaving early. It'll be at least 10pm before we're finished. Rocky road? Meh. I think there is definitely a case for too much of a good thing. I like all the various parts, and even some of those parts in combination, just not all of those parts all together. I like chicken. Unfortunately, my rotisserie chicken dinnahs have been far too scarce this year. Sigh. A bust day for celebrations for me, I guess.

    Firefox seems to have a function where you can mute a tab without muting your whole computer. I use it at work. At home I use Chrome and it doesn't seem to have that functionality.

    That's just creepy.
  7. Squirrel
    Okay ... you made me laugh ... but not as much as Hoskin's comment about you taking pictures of your backyard at 2am
  8. Squirrel
    Well, ****
  9. Squirrel
    Well, I've met you ... maybe I'm giving up your real identity

    there were great bands in the 90s?
  18. Squirrel
    I didn't really. I was just being polite.
  19. Squirrel
    Lol ... oh man, this made me really laugh ... hahaha ...
  20. Squirrel
    Ha! But it's really more like this: http://www.gamesmuseum.uwaterloo.ca/VirtualExhibits/Whitehill/candyland/board.jpg

    Takes one to know one, eh?

    I think he's looking older from my younger days, but it's nice seeing Dads with their kids.
  23. Squirrel
    Damn ... checked the score after tennis it was 2-1 ... got home and it's 3-2 ... Okay ... gotta fire up the ovens ... cookies need baking ... mmmmmmmm
  24. Squirrel
    Why? How?
  25. Squirrel
    I'm playing tennis tonight so will miss the first hour or so of the game. But since I don't have to be to work until 11 tomorrow I can stay up and watch the end of the game while baking cookies for my favorite third nephew.
