Tonight I usher for a live production of Rudolph. Looks tacky and fun.

Enjoy!  And actually tonight, I am ushering for a Sing-Along Handel's Messiah.  "This event is FREE and open to the public." 

We ushers will be there mainly for crowd control...and you know how uncontrolled those Messiah singers can get!

Funny thing: There is a gal on Facebook - I went to school with her.  She played my daughter in Fumed Oak when I was in the tenth grade - she was obviously in my class.  It's her birthday today - her Facebook age?  58.  Nice to shave ten years off your age.

Monday afternoon greetings!  I was out of here shortly after 8am to meet my friend Becky for her birthday breakfast.  We went from there to Barnes & Noble, where I did a little Christmas shopping, and then I proceeded to my papercrafting store to pick up a special order.  Not that I have any time this week to play at my art desk, but I'd been nagging Joan about these items and thought I'd better get them right away.  My last stop was a visit with Mom, who was pretty down today.  The mailbox full of Christmas cards and the presents from Becky perked her up a bit.

And I am home from the Lower East Side./  The wonderful guitarist Sean Harkness was indeed wonderful, and it was nice to see Scott Lehrer, who's up for a Grammy for the cast recording of Lady Be Good, Alex and Celia.

Watching more of Making a Murderer - not sure I'll have a voice after finishing it, because this is one documentary where, if you have a thinking brain, you will be screaming at the TV from the behavior of not only the cops coercing statements from a clearly mentally challenged sixteen-year-old, but that same sixteen-year-old's attorney's investigator doing the same after the kid has written out a statement that says he didn't do anything, with a complete timeline.  The asshole makes him do another, literally coerces him to do another by telling him he can't help him unless he does.  The fact that I already know the outcome of the trial leaves only one thing - to watch how this corruption continues during trial.  It is one of the most shocking things you will ever see, and the fact is there are so many lies and deceitful things going on that after this documentary gets traction, one can only hope that some sane person somewhere, whether lawyer or government official, takes a long, hard look at this.

It's appalling.  The teen's mom gets her son to request a different attorney, due to the fact that his attorney thinks he's guilty and coerced him into a statement that was then shared with the investigating detectives.  And the damn judge won't allow it.  I'm serious here - they should all be fired, disbarred or whatever, every single one of these ASSes.  Especially the teen's attorney - when you see this guy and his publicity seeking nerd demeanor you will want to slug him in the face.  I have never seen anything like this.  And I'm not even finished with episode four yet.  They have all these recorded phone calls where this kid continuously says he did nothing and knows nothing of Avery doing anything - over and over - and saying that the detectives played games with his mind, confused him, and that he finally just guessed at what they wanted to hear.  I'm guessing none of these phone  conversations will find their way into the trial, but we'll see.  The fact that they exist (as do hundreds of other conversations, including two that Avery had with his fiance at two points on the day and evening of the purported killing), is just crazy to me that no one has done anything to get this thing back in court.   You wonder why people hate the damn justice system?  Look no further than this documentary.

Finally the judge, after finding out that the teen's attorney allowed him to be questioned without an attorney being present, is removed.  We won't even talk about the fact that the police department having another county do the investigation to be sure no one could ever accuse them of planting or screwing with the purported crime scene, but then allowing detectives from the department where it took place to do just that and - wait for it - finding evidence - drops of blood in the vehicle, and a key with only Avery's DNA on it - a key used for years by the victim, yet none of her DNA was on it?  And then Avery's attorney's get a court order to unseal the evidence from his wrongful conviction case - they find the container containing Avery's blood sample has been tampered with and opened, the blood inside from over a decade or two prior is liquid and there's a hole in the cap - obviously the defense believes that someone put a syringe in it and then planted the blood in the vehicle.  End of episode four.  Unbelievable.

Well, I got a little wrapping done, but had to stop to fold some laundry and fix dinner.  Decided that I'm done (in) and have quit for the night.

And now, I must be going.  It's time for me to go downtown and usher for the Sing-Along Handel's Messiah.  There will be a choir on the stage, and everyone else will be singing in sections in the audience. 

Until later.

I'm leaving tomorrow for Buffalo.  No problem with snow this year.  The temps are to be in the 40's and 50's with rain.
