I thought it was going to be The Girl from Ipanema, sung by Atrud Gilberto* with Antonio Carlos Jobim handling the music. Diana Krall likes Bossa Nova music.
Eli Rabett is a not quite failed professorial techno-bunny, a chair election from retirement, at a wanna be research university that has a lot to be proud of but has swallowed the Kool-Aid. The students are naive but great and the administrators vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional. His colleagues are smart, but they have a curious inability to see the holes that they dig for themselves. Prof. Rabett is thankful that they occasionally heed his pointing out the implications of the various enthusiasms that rattle around the department and school. Ms. Rabett is thankful that Prof. Rabett occasionally heeds her pointing out that he is nuts.

Oh Eli, you naughty wabbit. This takes me back to my no where nearly misspent enough youth!

*a possible relative of Bebel Gilberto?
Bebel is better than mom IEHO
That was Astrud G, definitely OK.
Nanaimo: have High Tea at the Empress in Victoria, then drive up to Nanaimo. Lovely.
Aldo, Nanaimo Bars are quite yummy, better than carrots.
Astrud was João Gilberto's first wife who had never sang professionally before "The Girl from Ipanema".
Bebel is the daughter of Gilberto and Miúcha. She's a pretty good singer, ILHO.
