Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Is your German not what it could be? Well, don't look at me; it's only been a
few short years since I've stopped having nightmares starring my German
professor from college!
But seriously, how could I resist a song called, "Nein, Nein, Nein" -
even without a midi file - on this
auspicious day -
09/09/09?!?

From Yahoo News - 09/08/09 - "Why 09/09/09 Is So Special":
Have special plans this 09/09/09?
Everyone from brides and grooms to movie studio execs are celebrating the upcoming calendrical anomaly in their own way.
In Florida, at least one county clerk's office is offering a one-day wedding special for $99.99. The rarity of this Sept. 9 hasn't been lost on the creators of the iPod, who have moved their traditional Tuesday release day to Wednesday to take advantage of the special date. Focus Features is releasing their new film "9," an animated tale about the apocalypse, on the 9th.
Not only does the date look good in marketing promotions, but it also represents the last set of repeating, single-digit dates that we'll see for almost a century (until January 1, 2101), or a millennium (mark your calendars for January 1, 3001), depending on how you want to count it.
Though technically there's nothing special
about the symmetrical date, some concerned with the
history and meaning of numbers
ascribe powerful significance to 09/09/09.
For cultures in which the number nine is lucky, Sept. 9 is anticipated - while
others might see the date as an ominous warning.
Math magic
Modern numerologists - who operate outside the realm of real science - believe that mystical significance or vibrations can be assigned to each numeral one through nine, and different combinations of the digits produce tangible results in life depending on their application.
As the final numeral, the number nine holds special rank. It is associated with forgiveness, compassion and success on the positive side as well as arrogance and self-righteousness on the negative, according to numerologists.
Though usually discredited as bogus, numerologists do have a famous predecessor to look to. Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician and father of the famous theorem, is also credited with popularizing numerology in ancient times.
"Pythagoras most of all seems to have honored
and advanced the study concerned with numbers, having taken it away from the use
of merchants and likening all things to numbers," wrote
Aristoxenus, an ancient Greek historian, in the
4th century B.C.
As part of his obsession with numbers both mathematically and divine, and like
many mathematicians before and since, Pythagoras noted that nine in particular
had many unique properties.
Any grade-schooler could tell you, for example, that the sum of the two-digits
resulting from nine multiplied by any other single-digit number will equal nine.
So 9x3=27, and 2+7=9.
Multiply nine by any two, three or four-digit number and the sums of those will also break down to nine. For example: 9x62 = 558; 5+5+8=18; 1+8=9.
Sept. 9 also happens to be the 252nd day of
the year (2 + 5 +2).....

From My #2 Son,
Brent Harty
(Hillsboro HS,
IL - '90) of TX - 09/07/09 - "Waitin'
on a Woman":
Yea, Mom, I saw
the newsletter, but didn't go
see the vid as I was familiar with it and I was busy at the time. I only have
one more test, and I really can't study much for it (Ready For Action drills on
the old Patriot control screen...tabs and all...hands on). And today being
Labor Day, I've got a bit more time on my hands so I followed your link. Yea,
it might be Brad's best work yet. The vid is great and of course, needed a guy
like Andy Griffith in it. I like the end where Andy is all in white. Looks
like he is getting ready to head off to sit in on a temple session!
Yea, I knew we'd had missed Hetfield's b-day. October of 1981 is when Metallica
formed though. The most influential and highest grossing album sales of any
metal genre band...the Beatles of metal, I'd say. Anyhow, thanks for the video
and stuff. Oh, I still have a nice amp (albeit smaller than my 4x12 Randall
half stack) this is a 4x8 half stack that has a tube pre-amp. It can kick it
too. but I think I've played it once in probably 2 years...sad, sad stuff...so
it goes. Well, maybe down the road a bit. I have been working on the ol' banjo
and can play & sing Lorena and Bonnie Blue Flag on it. Working on Yellow Rose
of Texas and of course, I need to figure out how to play Dixie on it! I might
learn a Yankee song....but only one!
love bh

From Sydney Dearing ('56) of TN to
Gloria Woolard Price (Hampton HS - '65) of FL - 09/08/09 - "Armstrong Elementary":
Gloria,
After reading your input about Armstrong Elementary School, I think you are right, I do believe that teacher's name was Miss Naff, not Miss Nash. I don't remember a Mrs. Hubbard but Mrs. Blake does sound familiar, perhaps my 2nd or 6th grade teacher? After 50 plus years, memories get a little fuzzy. Also, you said you moved to Henry Street in 1956, the year I graduated from NNHS. It just so happens that when I went to Armstrong I lived at 6 W. Southhampton Avenue, which I believe is only one block from Henry Street.
Sydney
I never cease to
wonder at all the threads which bind our lives together. Thanks, Sydney!

It
would seem that we've all been waiting nearly 55 years for the
opportunity to share our memories of Hurricane Hazel. We've received at least
six so far, but they're too wondrously long to fit here. I had planned to
include them all in today's Newsletter, but I'll save them all for tomorrow -
and even then, I believe I'll just need to point y'all to the soon-to-be-created

FINALLY:
From ArcaMax Jokes.com - 09/08/09:
Testing
During a test I was administering,
I noticed that one of my married students, who was quite pregnant, kept rubbing
her side. Before she left, I asked her, "Are you okay? I noticed you were
holding onto your side."
"Oh, I'm fine," she answered. "It's just that my baby was pushing his foot up
and down my ribs, and it hurt a little."
"Well, that's good," I said, feeling genuinely relieved.
"Yeah," she continued. "It's strange. He normally sleeps during your class..."

Nein, Nein, Nein!
Nein, nein, nein!
Uns're Liebe durfte nicht sein.
Großer Schmerz und schreckliche Pein
und ich bin immer noch allein!
1.Ich weiß noch ganz genau es war
am Strand von Loretta del Mar.
Sie lag auf ihrer Düne, wie auf einer Bühne,
ich spürte die Gefahr.
Am Abend gingen wir spazieren,
sie fing ein bischen an zu frieren.
Ich nahm sie in den Arm und hielt sie zärtlich warm -
ich hatte nix zu verlieren.
Ich sagte ihr: "Ich lieb dich sehr,
schöne Frau, wo kommst du her?"
Sie sah mich an und sagte wörtlich:
"Fast aus Köln, nur etwas weiter nördlich!"
Nein, nein, nein!
Uns're Liebe durfte nicht sein.
Großer Schmerz und schreckliche Pein -
Sie kam aus Düsseldorf am Rhein!
2.Ich hab' versucht, bis kurz vor sieben
sie trotzdem irgendwie zu lieben,
und hab' die ganze Nacht allein mit ihr verbracht,
von der Leidenschaft getrieben.
Ich baute ihr ein Bett aus roten Rosen,
sie träumte von den Toten Hosen.
Ich zeigte ihr la Luna, sie träumte von Fortuna
und Altbier aus Dosen.
Da sagte ich: "Ich muss jetzt geh'n,
ich will dich nie wieder seh'n!
Ich bin kein Mann, der für dich in diese Stadt reist,
in der das Bier so schmeckt, wie es heißt!"
Nein, nein, nein!
Uns're Liebe durfte nicht sein.
Großer Schmerz und schreckliche Pein -
Sie kam aus Düsseldorf am Rhein!
3.Sie war die Frau, die mein Herz im Sturm erobert hat.
Doch dann kam der Super-GAU:
Sie wohnte in der verbotenen Stadt!
Sie weinte und sie schrie:
"Ich zieh für dich fort, in einen schöneren Ort.
Komm mit mir zum Nabel der Welt,
zieh mit mir nach Bielefeld!"
- Nach Bielefeld?? -
Nein, nein, nein!
Uns're Liebe durfte nicht sein.
Großer Schmerz und schreckliche Pein -
Sie kam aus Düsseldorf am Rhein!
Nein, nein, nein!
Uns're Liebe durfte nicht sein.
Großer Schmerz und schreckliche Pein
und ich bin immer noch allein
