Beautiful job on the web page, Mad dog. You are a genius.
Hope the kids are enjoying the snow and time out of school. Hope the parents are survivng.
I went downtown Saturday for the annual Tuba Christmas at Pioneer square. It was the worst weather I've seen for the concert (very cold and a litttle snow) yet the apprciative crowd was the largest I've seen. How nice to get off the MAX to the sound of "Hark the Herald Angels Sing". Wonder how those muscisians play in the cold weather?
"Dr. John", aka John Richards still conducting at 91 years old. Someone said that almost all the horn players were at one time his students or students of his students. Thursday nite I'm going downtown to a short version of the Messiah. It can't be Christmas without hearing the Messiah.
Ignoring the self-serving crassness of listing my Christmas wish list, here it is: An "Il Divo" music CD, a small bottle of tea tree oil, Applets and Cotlets, an issue of "Outside" magazine, socks (ankle length argyle), a good looking bottle of olive oil ("good looking" means, old Europoean looking or great graphics on the label. Try New Seasons or Haggens, etc.) paperback books about interesting people, emerging ideas, mystery, but NO economics nor politics; tired of both, an electric screwdriver, gift cards appropriate for a "geezer", a 20 guage double barreled or over/under shotgun made only of blue steel and wood; no plastic nor camoflage (sp?); cost $300-$25,000, and/or a mini Cooper; used is OK, and a "zero gravity" flight; cost $3-4,000 and that's about it. (Just kiddong about the expensive stuff). Oh, yes; I also wish for Comrade Justinski to come home, for Courtney to have a "not too bad" pregnancy, and for the continued physical, emotional, and spirtual safety of the beautiful g'children and thier parents.
