Another trip in the morning to go slap some paint on Natalie's house and do some detail work.

Unfortunately, doing all that work in the heat of the day pretty much took the stuffing out of me. (Galina and I had intended to leave before the start of rush hour, but failed to get up in time.)

Time to go get ready for tai chi.

Cheers...

P.S. Received the following in bacn. It'd be interesting if true:
Before the Beatles became famous they made a demo tape of 15 songs for Decca Records, which included the Mexican song Bésame Mucho (Kiss Me A Lot).

Here's the feedback that the Beatles manager got from Decca about those sessions:
"Not to mince words, Mr. Epstein, but we don't like your boys' sound. Groups are out; four-piece groups with guitars particularly are finished."
That's one of the all time greatest blunders. The amazing thing is that the Decca executive, Dick Rowe, didn't just reject the Beatles but predicted they would never succeed. He also said, "The Beatles have no future in show business."

Oops.
...whereupon the email gets to the heart of the matter, which is not relevant here.
