In his review of Sophie Milman's latest, Take Love Easy, Jeff Winbush writes, “A vocalist in the tradition of Ella Fitzgerald and Nat King Cole, Milman has one of those voices that has both range and power, but she knows how to caress a lyric and tap into the emotional depths of the song.”

To Facebook or not to Facebook, in the end I was sucked in by the feeling of missing out on the happenings of, well, my friends, and made a page in spite of my wanting to resist the temptation of the latest cyberfad.

At some time today, when I happened to check, the S&P 500 index was 909.09, making me think that it would have been numerologically more fun if that had happened on September 9th, later this year. At the same time, it would be financially more fun if that did not happen on 9/9/09. Anyway, all of that shortly led me to wonder about the origin of the expression to the nines. “Short answer: nobody knows.”

For the tenth straight year I'll be riding in the Pan-Mass Challenge which, through the Jimmy Fund, raises money to support research and treatment at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. For more information you might look at this year's fact sheet (PDF).
You can contribute online if you'd like to support my effort.

Returning yet again to the big question, you know—life, the universe, and everything—here's one of our old favorites, Douglas Hofstadter, weighing in on the soul and what I like to call life after death. It's a little scary how nearly congruent his construct is to mine. Heck, forget nearly. They're identical. Of course, his makes much better reading.
