It's been a pleasant visit, but I'm glad to be leaving in the morning.  This week is really light at the office, so I'm hoping to take some more time off. January is shaping up to be busy so a little more relaxation will be a good thing

OK, as promised, here is the extravagantly lit house.  Unfortunately ;), they have company with several cars in the driveway and around the house, and you can't see everything.  Unbelievably, they did not take kindly to us asking them to have their company move their cars so that we could take better pictures.  Really, some people just don't have the Christmas Spirit!  ;)

Stunning!!

Speaking of Springsteen, I just put a lyric (not a video) to the tune of PINK CADILLAC on the Times comment box the other day in honor of the cadillac driven for Miss Daisy in DRIVING MISS DAISY.  I won;t reprint it here (it's long), but it's at

If you told them you were from The Oregonian, they would moved all of the cars by hand.

I was at this concert

Bruce Springsteen Born in the USA Tour
16 August, 1984, Brendan Byrne Arena, East Rutherford, NJ
 
Born In The U.S.A.
Prove It All Night
Out in the Street
Atlantic City
Open All Night
Nebraska
Cover Me
Darlington County
Glory Days
....



Ah! I remember that tour!

The father of one my classmates at Bishop Denis J. O'Connell High School was part of the security/stage management staff at the now-demolished Capital Centre in Landover, MD, and he would occasionally treat his son and some of his classmates to concerts there.

"The Boss" played there on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday during his "Born in the U.S.A." tour. We - myself and about 15 of my classmates - went to all four nights.  Needless to say, that was quite a "tired" and unproductive week at DJO.

Sorry I misunderstood, Bruce. Someone mentioned the film, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, and I thought you sort of shrugged and stared blankly as if you hadn't seen it. But I was sitting on the floor behind you, so I couldn't see that well. I do remember the television show too, although as a 5-year old I would get it confused with "My Mother the Car."

DR TCB - Seriously, I know of Mr. Ostrowski from when I was applying for grad schools years ago. I also have a few friends who work as staff accompanists at MSM, and they work directly under him.

It is probably a bit late in the evening to ask (at least for the East Coast crowd), has anyone ever heard of the opera singer Frances Yeend?

Frances was one of my mother's lifetime friends.  They met in college at Washingiton State University (then College).  I was just researching her online, and I was sorry to see that she passed away in 2008.  I kick myself that I never contacted her after my mother was killed.  Sometimes we forget that we have the ultimate missing persons bureau in our own computer.  I wish I had written to her.

Earlier today, I sent out my Christmas e-mail to a great many friends both near and far.  Later, I was wondering why I didn't post it here on HHW.  It certainly applies to all of you at this site.

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS
 
 AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EACH
 
AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. 
 
YOU HAVE MADE MY LIFE RICHER
 
AND HAPPIER BY BEING IN  IT!
 
IF I HAVE NEVER TOLD YOU I LOVE
 
YOU, THEN PERHAPS IT IS TIME.
 
I love you!




G'night!

Back from a marvelously marvelous partay - really glad I went.  The food was amazing and I sort of didn't overeat, which was grand.  Nice folks, and I met the really nice man Cissy is dating now, and his equally nice and lovely daughter.  Always great to see my pal David and wife Barbara and two kids Zach and Daniel.  Daniel's just been cast in Bye Bye Birdie in his high school, playing Harvey Johnson, and his director is an old pal o' mine, Alan Hunt.

Merry Christmas to all! Greg and I haven't been able to give presents to each other---right now the present is when we both get to be in the same place at the same time.

They downgraded Greg's mom, which is a good thing, and moved her to yet another room where she doesn't need such intensive care. He's down there and I'll be at my mom's but I hope that snow won't keep him form spending Christmas evening with us.

~~~Continued Recovery Vibes for Greg's Mom!!~~~

Vixdad's Mum has been rushed to the hospital - she has been in the emergency room for the past 72 hours due to hospital overcrowding -  apparently there is  virus going around that is hitting the elderly population quite hard -

we have been relying on Vixdad's sister for info
