In today's NYT Crossword: Sunday, October 17, 2010 34D "Dies ___" (hymn)

IRAE used 78 times since November, 1993.



The Missa pro defunctis, the Mass for the dead.

A day of wrath; that day,
it will dissolve the world into glowing ashes,
as attested by David together with the Sibyl.

What trembling will there be,
when the Judge shall come
to examine everything in strict justice.



Book review in today's Newsday. I never realized that their reviews come from elsewhere, in this case: The Washington Post.

Today's Op-Ed piece by Maureen Dowd titled Playing All the Angles is pretty damn funny.



As people in the financial field say: Past Performance is No Guarantee of Future Results. Let's go Yankees !



Reviewed in the Washington Post.



Very hot on the club circuit according to my son. Yolanda Be Cool is derived from a line in Pulp Fiction - Jules: "Yolanda, I thought you said you were gonna be cool. Now when you yell at me, it makes me nervous. And when I get nervous, I get scared. And when motherfuckers get scared, that's when motherfuckers accidentally get shot."



Watched Godfather III. Some good scenes and Eli Wallach.



Guys could dance.

September 22, 2010 - Harvest Moon



Real treat tonight. But, rain may block it. Not only will Northern America witness the beginning of autumn at 11:09 Eastern tonight, there will be a full moon in the sky. Put those two occurrences together and you'll get the rare "super harvest moon."

The event has not occurred for 20 years, and probably will not reoccur until 2029.

Tonight the nearly full moon will be rising just above the bright planet Jupiter and a somewhat dimmer Uranus.



Shine On Harvest Moon
By Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth (1903)

Shine on, shine on harvest moon
Up in the sky,
I ain’t had no lovin’
Since January, February, June or July
Snow time ain’t no time to stay
Outdoors and spoon,
So shine on, shine on harvest moon,
For me and my gal.



Neil Young, Let's go dancing in the night.
