For those coming into town for the 2009 Convention of the National Association of Realtors, I will be performing in my chamber music group on Friday afternoon, November 13, at 4:00 p.m., at the Pacific Regent in La Jolla, 3890 Nobel Drive.

The concert should last about 1½ hours, and the public is welcome, so if anyone wants to come up to La Jolla, enjoy a bit of classical music, and then go out to
tour La Jolla afterwards and possibly have something to eat, call Russel Ray at 619-341-0173 (he also happens to be my page turner for the concert). Keep in
mind that the best touring is during daylight hours, and darkness gets here around 6:00 p.m. now, but there are lots of good places to eat in La Jolla, especially if price is no object.

Following is the concert program:

About Claude Debussy

Claude Debussy (1862-1918), a French composer, one of the most important impressionist composers (even though he himself disliked the term), is also one of the more prominent composers from late 1890s and early 1900s.

Debussy began piano lessons at the age of 7, and at the age of 10 was admitted to the Paris Conservatoire where he studied for 11 years. In 1884 he won the prestigious Prix de Rome with his composition L'Enfant prodigue.  His win resulted in a scholarship to the Académie des Beaux-Arts, which included a four-year residence at the Villa Medici, the French Academy in Rome. Much of his later music displayed harmonies and chords featuring dissonances that were never musically resolved. His harmonies, considered radical in his day, were influential to almost every major composer of the 20th century.

Kay, my lovely Mensa wife, reads the San Diego Union Tribune from cover to cover every morning while I peruse the funny papers; blessed is SDUT to offer two full pages. You can immediately see it is a perfect marriage because we never have cause to fight over the morning paper.

While Kay is concerned with pesky facts, (she never loses an argument) I pursue a funny papers inspired overview where there is much to be learned. Below are some selections from Thursday, November 5, 2009.

Take Dilbert for example, In three small panels Scott Adams teaches us three life lessons, maybe four.

• Not to mix our meds.
• The origin of racism.
• Political and criminal philosophy. Of course, this does not apply to your politician(s) eh... eh... eh

In Leaf Zone Ahead and Falling Leaves Next Ten Feet Glenn McCoy in Duplex illustrates the future of nanny Government protection. Not shown are future signs at every restaurant table "chew slowly by order of the President" and signs in our bathrooms, posted at the exact average eye level of all inhabitants. "brush teeth for 60 seconds, or else". A camera will record compliance.

Guys who read the comics section know how to treat their woman and are known throughout the feminine world as better lovers. Try it out yourselves. Guys, next time you are doing the singles bar scene, let it be known that your sensitivity to feminine needs was derived through years of diligent funny paper study. You will never leave another bar alone.

Nest Heads provides younger people and a few middle aged a reason to get flee the nest and buy a home which is good for the economy and more importantely... good for all of us on AR.

I think we have covered a large number of human concerns today; we learned that politicians and criminals are similarly motivated, that government is here to protect us, a proper sharing technique and how to be special.

For those who wish to be surperior humans, my sincere advice is broken into three parts :

1. Read the Comics Section every day. You will be a better person.
2. Watch Think Big Work Small every morning; this morning was an educational hoot. TBWS
3. Attend my FREE mortgage classes (alas, none scheduled at the moment but stay tuned).

She’s a professional woman, knows her stuff, has a high-up position in our industry, and she’s absolutely great at what she does. But I’m afraid that somewhere along the road, she lost a part of who she really is.

Have you ever felt this way… just suddenly, totally fried? I know T*** has enormous talents in other areas, and she doesn’t have to ditch her job and become a bohemian artist, but unless we keep stirring our creativity, and keep alive a well balanced life, we’ll wake up one day and discover that somewhere along the way, we died to the life we were meant to live.

That’s why I take 9 + camping trips a year. They’re just 42 hours each, but each hour is a slice of heaven, and refuels me for the work ahead. In fact, I’m writing this in Pacific Beach, on the beach at Campland by the Bay. I love to write so this is pure joy for me.

What are you doing to clear your head and re-energize your soul?

Here’s a call to action---Act now—before it’s too late! Start planning for 2010 by writing in your vacations and holidays FIRST on your master calendar. Then commit to NOT working on those days. Then keep your promise to yourself.
