Although I lived in the Ohio Valley (i.e. often known as the 'Dristan Valley') for many years, I never succumbed to any kind of sinus maladies but Cadillac Man has not been having such a good run that way. I've had lots of surgeries over many years so it's really not so scary for me but I only know indirectly how that goes with one's sinuses. From that source, the result was good.
Tobin returned home to have surgery on all ten sinus cavities (who knew there were so many). His health had been in decline for the past 14 months and his 25-year-old sinus infection was thought to be one of the reasons. He risked the intubation into his fragile lungs, something he'd been avoiding for years, but it turned out well. The post-op therapies eradicated the infection and his breathing has improved significantly. So, as 2016 began with Suzanne recovering from double foot surgery, it ended with Tobin's healthy sinuses. We anticipate 2017 to be surgery free. Full steam ahead, as us nautical people say.

Tobin Mueller has been an inspiration to many musicians because of his talent, knowledge, and his good heart. I met him for the first time on MacJams where budding and also experienced musicians upload their music for a critique by each other to help improve their music. There are some highly-knowledgeable musicians on that system and they share as willingly as novices. The emphasis on MacJams isn't so much on learning how to make music but rather how to write songs and I first found it at least twenty years ago. I can cheerfully report it is still going strong.

Expect to hear an integration of jazz and classical and the man definitely knows the material.
Ed: is 'knowing the material' the highest praise you have?
It might just be (larfs). How can one talk to anyone who does not know the material. Witness Election 2016 which was a slagfest of manipulated knowledge. Even today they're still going on about how Russia influenced it. As Cadillac Man can readily tell you, this was hardly the first Presidential election which was largely driven by rats and it doesn't take Russia to get them that way.

Cadillac Man, I don't mean to be too pep-talkish but the results were clear in his case and he is most pleased.
From Cadillac Man, there were some thoughts about university professors inviting students into their homes. That's the English way but, in America, some said visiting with my ol' Dad at home was the first time they had ever been inside the home of a professor.
Otterbein University in Ohio is where Cadillac Man started his education and it's a much smaller school than the University of Cincinnati. Professors were much more free about inviting students home and not for nefarious purposes as was shown in yet another Hot for Teacher story from a couple of days ago.
Note: police say she 'coerced' the high school boy to have sex with her but I ask you, mates: how much coercion could that possibly take. I still remember my really beautiful French teacher in high school but (sob) they behaved better back then or at least it seemed so. I took French because I quickly discerned there are no girls on the football team and there are many girls in French class. I learned almost nothing about French but, I confess, I wasn't trying that hard and it really wasn't my purpose anyway.
Regrettably for many, the professor at a big school is usually a two-inch person standing in front of a thousand students. That's generally true for freshman survey courses and half of them won't be back for the sophomore year. Whether that was due to capability or alienation by huge classes or both is anybody's guess.
After getting past those survey courses, I found the Anthropology classes shrank to about ten or fifteen students, Biology classes were quite a bit higher, and the Psychology classes were generally smaller as well. I didn't take Psychology that seriously or, well, much of anything and it was in one of those courses I got the advisory, 'your cleverness with words does not disguise your lack of reading.'
Good one, Doc.
Maybe it's ironic as I had the reverse situation with Cadillac Man. I had lived in a professor's home all my life but I was never invited into the home of any other.
Ed: that might have been due to being stoned all the time!
Possibly so but some of the profs were hammered as well. Maybe some recall Professor Banta who had a psychology survey course at UC and advised his students to give themselves whatever grade they thought they deserved. He was likely running some kind of experiment but you tell me he wasn't stonin' (larfs).
These times were in the seventies when life was a whole lot more interesting and a whole lot more fun. That's a lot less nostalgic than it seems since I see so many on Facebook and how much (cough) fun could that possibly be.
On Twitter, you're free to talk to anyone or tag anyone on the planet but Facebook limits you to people who agree with you. Now that just ain't healthy.
Lotho isn't too admiring of the value of a university education but he set that aside since his own kids needed to do it. He got two out of three graduates out of that so not bad.
Lotho's education post-high school was in vocational schools and don't read a hint of patronization in that. Unless you know how to rebuild jet engines, I strongly suggest you not try to patronize him either. He took two and possibly three two-year degrees that way and I didn't think it was that unusual at the time since, wtf, his interests are varied.
He didn't go into any of those fields but I'll not speculate why since John Lennon already told us about making plans and then life happens. Everybody knows how that goes.

I remember prof Banta. Banta rhymes with Santa but he was no Santa. After promising to allow students to pick their own grade he graded the midterms. About 1600 students packed into Wilson Hall rose up in anger. He changed backed to no grades but then ultimately handed out grades.
That whole scene was too strange for me and I didn't take his course but it must have been hilarious to see him with 1600 outraged students on his hands.
