I, too, enjoyed your photos, Ben. Your front door is my favorite.

Add me to the chorus of those who enjoy Ron's Christmas stories. (And the photos.) How nice that you still have family--and that you're still speaking!

I think buying plane tickets is one of the most stressful things. What if I forgot my middle name on the ticket? Or I got my friend's date of birth wrong? Would they deny us boarding?  What if I got the dates wrong? All that money lost, and maybe stranded somewhere. Oy.

When Michelle Bachmann states in the news recaps for last night's debate that she is a "serious candidate for president," I start giggling. I wonder if she and her "homo no mo" husband will fight over title for first lady.

All you need is whatever name is on the photo ID you present at the counter.

My condolences to BK, Jane, and all those here who knew Susan Gordon. I was sorry to hear of her passing.

Thank you.  I have continued to chat, via email, with friends going back to jr. high & elementary school.

I know if you go out of the country the ticket must match your passport.  Within the country I leave off my middle initial that is on my driver's license.

When I flew to Portland last year to see Bruce I accidentally read the time for the flight as AM instead of PM.  Fortunately Keith noticed when the email conformation was received.  I called immediately & they cancelled the flight free of charge.  You might double check but at the time the airline said I had a window to cancel without charge.  That might be a standard all airlines follow by law & keep a secret.

Hi, gang!
Jose, I somehow was completely unfamiliar apart from "But I'm Here" ( if that's the title...). I wasn't a fan of Bernadette Peters but she was  great and Danny Burstein was terrific...well, everyone was.

I'm looking forward to a ny trip which has more time to visit all the wonderful hhwers
. This was the first time I was able to do anything fun, even last minute. I'm so glad Ben posted xmas pix since I didn't get to see it.
A d we're off!

I got to see Bernadette Peters live in concert here in Olympia about 15 years ago...she was fantastic! :D

So, the burglary story is getting more bizarre. There's another John Griffin here at the office whose house was burglarized last Thursday with the same mode of entry: door kicked in. In his case, they rifled through things looking for something in particular but didn't take anything.

I have to go to the police to tell them about this.

OHH!!  Sounds like a spy  story!!

Are there other John Griffins in town who should be put under observatiom?

I am back from trips to the barber, the Little Pie Company, and the NYPL. The laundry is now in the washers and it's time to vacuum and mop the floors.

I was going to comment that it must be part of that story about the package left for the neighbors who wouldn't answer the door, but that might have invited a response from the bitter and humorless.  ;)

In completely unrelated news, is there a more incredible orchestrator than Dave Grusin?  I'm listening to some of his stuff for Brasil '66 right now and it is all just so goshdarn beautiful.

BK, BTW, I picked up the Russ Conway North by Northwest.  45 is in pretty bad shape, but it was fun to hear.
