I am trying to re-adjust to the reality of working full time and then having company and/or concerts and/or events every night. How do the common folk do it?
TCB, do you still have your aol email address?
My sister (Leslie, who died in October) was very close to my great niece Adara. She's 6 years old and she misses her Aunt Leslie. Leslie always sent a card and a present to Adara on her birthday. Well, her birthday is this Tuesday, December 2nd so in the privacy of her bedroom Adara made a card for herself from Leslie. Her mother (my niece Ashlee) found it today and sent a photo to my other sister who sent it to me. Here are both sides (with birthday mis-spelled and Leslie's name mis-spelled but that adds to the charm. The figure on side 2 is an angel even though it looks like a butterfly and the people holding hands are Adara and Aunt Leslie and there are 2 hearts on the bottom of the page. Oh, to be 6 again and have life be so simple.

While I wouldn't have called it an invitation at first glance, upon close examination I guess that it was an announcement of the release party.You're right that at first glance, something about it looks and feels like an announcement rather than an invite. But does the graphic on what you got say things like "invite" and give an RSVP email addressThe one I saw, and assumed all backers got since even $25 backers we know got it, said Yellow Sound Label and BD Wong invite you to celebrate the launch of etc etc This event is by invitation only Please RSVP to (and gave an email address along with all details of where and when.)

It's an awful song and I really detest it. First of all, here's this woman who's just given birth and probably wonders why God couldn't have offered her some good drugs to deal with it, and this obnoxious shepherd kid shows up and bangs the shit out of this drum in your ear. The baby screams, you're ready to kill, the animals in the stable are raising a racket, the old man you married is worried about registering his family and beating a path to Egypt, and you're sitting in a manger thinking, WTF?

On another thought, is there a stupider holiday song than "The Little Drummer Boy"? That stupid piece works my last nerve.
