I had my first rehearsal tonight with the Turtle Creek Chorale in Dallas. It is a phenomenal group of men, and the quality of their music is astounding. Dr. Tim Seelig is the Creative Director; his personality and his expertise are obvious. His manner of working with the chorale is very personable, friendly, and amazingly humorous. He doesn't seem to be the perfectionist type, but he strives to get the best out of everyone he can get. The chorale has over 200 members, and they perform at the best venue in Dallas, the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Hall. They are a member of GALA, a gay and lesbian chorus association which is worldwide. They gather annually for a music festival to sing and party together from all parts of the world. It may seem odd that a straight guy like me would be interested in joining an organization like this one, but more and more, I'm convinced that it is really just a group of men and that these other issues don't matter when it comes to acceptance and performance. tw comment []

I changed my theme again. I'm having trouble with my favorite theme, Discreet Black, because the edit text box is too large, making it appear below the calendar column. It was causing me to have to scroll three times during a post. I wish there was a fix for it because I like it best. This one is my second-favorite with my Radio download. If anyone has an easy-to-use theme website, I'd love to have the link. comment []

Reading list, perhaps... Death Row prisoner ponders life in memoir. While shooting at police in Palm Beach County from the passenger window of a speeding get-away car, the last thing on Bill Van Poyck's mind was the consequences. But after 16 years on Death Row, the Miami native has had plenty of time to think. [TexasTodd News] comment []

Men's Health expert talks about an easy-to-follow nutritional program to lose fat... Craig Ballantyne discusses a fat loss program he recommends. Q: What nutrition plan would you follow for fat loss/health? Answer: The following is a meal plan that I would follow for fat loss and muscle growth/the maintenance of existing muscle size. Please understand that this nutrition program is not specific to anyone else. Everything would have to be adjusted (up or down) based on your activity level, muscle mass, and genetic metabolic rate.
