Elmore, I have not seen Under the Greenwood Tree. I barely remember the book. Should I look out for it?

Horrible story about the fate of those scores, Elmore.

Yesterday was amazingly long. It started out with helping the folks at the studio get ready for the Christmas party (and of course some dancing).

Then I helped a friend Gail and her church distribute a barbecue dinner to the homeless.

After that, Gail and I changed and went to the office party. Train was the headliner. I have no memory of their music, though Soul Sister sounded familiar. It was a fun show anyway.

Then it was on to the dance party, which was supposed to have ended at midnight, but there were so many people that they kept the music going until 1 a.m.

It made getting to church this morning by 8 very difficult. And teaching Sunday school after that was a challenge.

Horrible story about the fate of those scores, Elmore.

The worst part of it is that five or more LaCie Hard drives containing God knows what material that John McGlinn worked on for the past twenty or so years was irrevocably lost.

If this had been artwork, it could be considered a criminal act.

...and then I fell asleep in my chair.

But only after baking 3 cinnamon pecan coffee cakes - 1 for my friend Becky and her husband, 1 for Rob and Mary Linda to take to Michigan tomorrow, and one for our freezer to keep for Christmas morning breakfast.  I slept while they cooled and have now wrapped each suitable to its purpose.

I'm into the first hour of A Nun's Story. Audrey Hepburn is wonderful, but the pacing is of a different time. It seems overly long and there's still an hour and a half to go.

That's like the percussionist dropping the triangle on the orchestra bells during the slow movement...

Or the eighteen-wheeler blowing his horn at the peak of "Some Enchanted Evening" when he passed the new outdoor concert venue next to Interstate 70 north of Dayton...

I just saw the weather for this Thursday. It is supposed to be 15C (which is around 60F+).  I know some people want a white christmas. But i am so happy. The bizarre thing is that today was around 0C (32F). So the weather keeps going up and down. But still no snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't go to the mall that much. But as I was leaving to go home I walked thru Sears. And they were handing out $10 gift cards. My sister didn't want hers. So now i have 2.  OMG the line at Santa was so huge. I can't believe how long those people were waiting there!

And I just finished baking about 3 dozen cut-out shortbread Christmas cookies.  We'll ice and decorate them on Tuesday.

I'm back from Fredericksburg, VA (about 45-50 miles from me).  I saw our own Sandy Bainum in Mame!

Sandy was really wonderful.  She's performing with her right wrist bandaged --she fell backstage the day before opening and had to be replaced for several performances.

Sandy gave me a nice greeting, as she always does, and introduced me to her husband and son.

Are you absolutely sure that it went to the dump?  Is there any way to find out who actually cleaned out the place? I'm sure it would be a miracle, but what if someone cleaning kept some of the stuff?
