The children in this morning's nativity pageant were incredibly adorable.

I guess the movie had so many hits this could bring us to page 3

Or maybe not.

Back from the meeting, which was good and will result in an album for a performer I've worked with many times. I just said that at this point I'm not doing anything by halves - she wants a full orchestra and I told her what that would cost and that I would only record at Capitol. So, they're fine with all of that and so we'll start this coming week trying to figure out what the songs will be.

All of the ornaments are on the tree, except for the beads and the crown on top. For the beads, I need a second pair of hands and, for the crown, a little more height. Richard will provide both when he gets home.

And i am home from a wonderful lunch with my friend Paul Ford, who's girding up to go back on the concert road with Mandy Patinkin. We discussed "the book" and caught up on the wheres and whats of our lives for the past twenty years or so. I used to cross paths with him in my Drama Book Shop days when he was heading to a theatre to play in the pit and i was walking to Eighth Avenue and the bus. I left the Book Shop in 1996 and that's 18 years ago.

I just did the math, and 1996 is 18 years ago for me, too. Coincidence???

Back from the high school.

(The title of my next novel Or at least of a chapter therein.)

And thus begins three days of HELL: leaving the house at 6:15 tomorrow morning -- in tux -- for a morning concert, then one in the evening, then one Tuesday evening, then another morning one on Wednesday and the final evening concert that night.

Saw a community theater production of "White Christmas" today. They have taken a mediocre (if beloved) movie and not improved on it. In fact, they made the Bing Crosby character something unpleasant for too much of the show.

But the production worked its charms. The Berlin songs were gorgeous. The band was sensational. And the moment that snow started falling in the theater was magic.

There was one moment, however, that showed how much the world needs Hugh Martin. The three leading ladies have a trio called "Falling Out of Love Can Be Fun" and it just needed Martin's vocal arrangement magic. In his hands, the song could have been another Sing for Your Supper. Without him, it was pleasant and the show moved on to the next scene. What a wasted opportunity.

Off to a Christmas party.

The hosts recently built a ballroom onto their house. And they've hired a band.
