Yes, thank you, I am getting my work done. I just had to do this first.

  4. Love it, love it, love it.

    One question, though.

    How am I going to get the song out of my head? It just goes round and round and round and round and...

    Though, it's Gershwin. It's not like that's a bad thing! Maybe you should add an earworm disclaimer, though?

    Did someone get new flowchart software? (Although anytime you want to post Gershwin it's ok by me!)

  12. That is perfect. Things must be completed when their time comes. It makes perfect sense to me that you needed to complete that first.

  16. For accurate Broadway musical self-referentiality, the section marked "Ask for anything more" should have an arrow leading to "Oliver!" ("Please, sir, can I have some more?").

  17. Yes, but do you have "Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin" blasting in your car? I do, for the past week and a half. S'Wonderful.

    LOL! I loved it. This only supports my previously unpublished request (demand?) that you blog more frequently!

  33. You say tomato ... do you know the story about that lyric when the sheet music was published in England? They just sang "tomato-tomato" - not to-mah-to ... until the American recordings came to England.

    Instead of Stephen Foster (I Dream of Jeannie) how about another Stephen -- as in Sondheim -- as I just got the cd of Sondheim on Sondheim, and it includes the autobiographical parts by Mr, Sondheim himself ... I mean, if you are looking for a distraction... the charting is bound to be more complicated for "Passion" or "Sunday in the Park" or "Road Show!"

    Thanks for the chuckles! Now I have Gershwin and Sondheim running through my head!

    That belongs on a t-shirt! It's s'wonderful, s'marvelous!!
    Please chart more Gershwin lyrics - I never loved diagramming sentences and doing social work genograms. This is BETTER.
    Now, I've asked for anything (something?) more!

  44. This is TOO funny! I had to share it with my 70 yo Dad, who is a huge Gershwin fan. I grew up on this music. Thanks for the chuckle.

  49. We are polar opposite twins! I started sewing when I was a wee one and slowly worked my way up until suddenly sewing is my full time job. At some point in college while I was finishing my sewing homework I realized I had some free time, but I sure as heck was NOT going to go sew something. So now what? I bought the idiot's guide to knitting and got started. When I was eight, my aunt had taught me how to knit. It was amazing to feel the muscle memory kick in. So now I knit for fun and sew for money. I LOVE you shirt squares. So cool! Congratulations!
