I hope before Singsong goes off to use his instrument in praise of the Lord that he stops by to render unto Caesar.

Funny that you should mention that, DR dB!  Today is "pledge" Sunday, which means time to commit how much money you're going to contribute to the church budget for the next year.  We'll pulling out all the stops, musically - everything we can do to tug at the ole' heart strings.  And that includes cute, mugging children.   :P

ps: I have nothing to do with the planning of it.  I just show up and sing what I'm told to sing!   8)

When I have a moment, perhaps I'll detail the particulars of next week's dreaded "Puritan" Thanksgiving worship service.  In which I play an integral role.  Reluctantly.  And in costume.

I seem to remember a choral piece ("The Holy City"?) which had a rousing chorus of "Jerusalem" that was a real crowd pleaser

Good morning, all! Tomorrow morning at this time I shall be in LaGuardia awaiting the flight to Ohio, friends, family, and foe.  I have not looked forward so little to the flight since the one in February when my dad died.  

Today is a bit of finishing up here and at Toyland various pieces of work, tidying up the apartment, packing up what I need to take with me, and trying to remain relatively calm since I dislike flying more and more the older I get and since I have no idea how unpleasant the week may get.  Yesterday I got to the phariacy to refill two prescriptions and purchase allergy medicine for life with the wonderful Max and Maddie, Randy's dogs.  I wish there were a commercial anti-venom for Lady M.  Or a silver bullet.


DR Ginny, didn't you have a date picked next week for us to do something?

I love of "Dead of Night."  It is what so many movies try to be.     Clever twists indeed.

Good morning!

Cold out, but warming up to the 60s today. Low 60s, that is.

I came upstairs early to get some computer work out of the way so I'd have the rest of the morning to work on the installation of my new receiver. Keep the good thought that things go as smoothly as they can. I actually have butterflies in anticipation of doing this this morning.

I am hungry.

I think, last week, I forgot to congratulate DRs ADRIANA and CASON on their success RE: The Fund Raiser.

So, congratulations, kids!

After I get the receiver set up, I'll be watching EYES WIDE SHUT on Blu-ray disc. Haven't seen it in years, so I look forward to the revisit. It's always been a controversial film and most folks either love it or hate it.

I really do admire much of it, and as this is the unrated edition, I'm looking forward to seeing the REAL film for the first time. Both the theatrical version I saw and the DVD I have featured the graphics overlays to prevent the film from receiving an NC-17 rating. I doubt that the sex on display will make the film any more or less what it is, but it will still be interesting to see what's actually going on there.

I also still have CSI/WITHOUT A TRACE which I will probably watch as I cook and prepare lunch.

I noticed that there is an NFL football game starting at 4 on my local CBS station, so that will push back the CBS line-up here and means I won't be watching tonight's COLD CASE again.

Yes, I enjoyed the TORCHWOOD episode very much last night.

EVEN though somebody said something WRONG!

Hi folks!

Debi and I both want to thank DR td for the wonderful time we had yesterday.  

It was so nice to meet another one of the HHW gang.  

Pittsbugh is very nice.  Not as cold as I thought it would be but I'm told that is yet to come and I need to come back up in mid January to really see (and feel  :o ) it.   We'll have to see about that.

We also went to my parents grave.  Thank goodness all was right with it.  That's on worry off of my mind.

I took your advise and I did go and look at that house that I posted the link to awhile back.  I really liked it.  Debi and I spoke to the lady next store (who was very nice) and she told us that they called it "heart attack hill"  because it was so steep.  

It also had a power tower next to it.  I wouldn't mind.  I lived in front of a radio tower when I was growing up with no ill effects.  Well, maybe that explaines my healthy "glow". ;D

We had a blast last night.  We went to STation square and rode the Incline.   ;D  I'm seeing my first Steelers game today.  Debi gave this thing called a "terrible towel".  I have no idea what it is.  I guess we'll see this afternoon.

Gotta scoot.

Hugs and vibes to all.

der Brucer

That's a beautiful song!
When I was a 7 year old church pianist, (I played for the children's choir and Sunday school), our minister, Reverend Tom Liotta always made me play it as a piano solo every Palm and Easter Sunday.
It wasn't until much, much later when I led two choirs that I had my choirs sing it to great accolades.
Joe Feeney used to sing it on The Lawrence Welk show. . .

Hate it.  I have no intention of revisiting it.   :D

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And though I didn't go to the gym today, I still got up at 7:30.  But then went right back to sleep for a few more hours.  :)
