2.75%?? Wow! I refinanced at 5% almost four years ago. I remember a co-worker telling me that she and her former husband (when they were still married) bought a house in the 1980s at 12% interest! She also said that, at the time, that was a good deal.

It was indeed. We were newlyweds looking for a house. The rate was 17%, so we were thrilled when we were able to assume a mortgage at 10%!

We were thrilled to assume a mortgage at 6% for our first house. I forget what the rate was at the time.

I had a very productive day of Christmas shopping, both online and at the mall. When I got home, Richard had set up the Christmas tree in our family room and was in the process of solving the section of burned out lights. Tomorrow we'll put the ornaments on.

Ginny, your Secret Twin works at Lake Oswego City Hall and helped us process the application for Zach's passport today. I almost wanted to ask if we could take her picture so that you could see, but I decided it might not be appropriate.

DR JMK - that would be an interesting picture to see!

I have to have a tooth pulled tomorrow.

I'm sorry. I hope it is a back tooth.

It is.

My parents, Vixdad and I went to the Eastern Campus of the Vixter's college (she attends the Western Campus) as the chorus she belongs to was performing in a Winter concert tonight

the Voices were lovely but some of the songs..... oh dear!

"Rarely heard songs" may be rarely heard for a reason .... such as no one wants to hear it!!!!

We listened to a beautifully sung song about someone who had no money in his pockets --- that was the whole song over and over and over -- it needed a few more lyrics -- we get it - empty pockets so what did you do about it?

Then there was the song about Democracy that had the entire audience longing for Communism by the end of it

but the voices - they were glorious!!

I attended the Eastern campus of this college (at the time it was the only campus!) and was active in the theatre but mostly backstage - lights, makeup , stage managing etc I only occassionally had a chance to trod the stage with small roles here and there --- so I was very surprised to see a picture of the 19 years old ME hanging on the wall in the theatre lobby! It was fun to show it to the Vixter

Had a fabulous time at "An Evening with Garrison Keillor" I really love listening to story tellers and he's one of the best. We laughed and laughed, then he led the audience in a hymn and Christmas carols. It was really a wonderful evening

He could use a haircut....

I gotta tell you.

This has been a lovelier than lovely birthday - the Facebook stuff was amazing - close to 500 birthday wishes from friends, strangers, and all sorts of fascinating folks. But nothing is more amazing than here and you dear readers.

I had a very nice birthday dinner at Barone's - you can probably smell the garlic on me from wherever you are - had a salad, a couple of pieces of garlic bread, and really garlicky scampi - all great.

And I suppose I'll just start fresh on the liner notes tomorrow.

Glad you had a great birthday, BK! Now, on to the next 64 years!!

Tomorrow morning, I have another training workshop that starts at 9:00 am., AND my annual self-evaluation is due! I never know what to say. It's all just variations on "I didn't screw anything up."

George · « **Reply #203 on:** December 08, 2011, 11:16:17 PM »

Well, I must go to bed and get some sleep...and there's an episode of "How I Met Your Mother" on the DVR in my bedroom. So, good night, all.

Until tomorrow...the day AFTER BK's birthday!
