My dog has developed a personality change the last few months and he goes after people who come to the home. My mother who is here with me unfortunately is also one of them. A friend might be able to take him as he gets along with him. If not I might have to put him down as he is not adoptable. I've tried to train him and keep him away from other people but he has increasingly has become more agressive. He is fine and loving with me but with most other people not.

I am very sorry.   Have you tried medication?

Today all eight of my brothers & sisters (including me....well seven of us) are going to come to the house.

We have made a notebook so that each of us has printed a page of memories for our Mom....whose 85 birthday is tomorrow.

So we shall have guests throughout the day.

Tomorrow hopefully will be a quiet day.  Some of us will be traveling and others of us will be enjoying a ME/US day.

Your mother is going to enjoy to enjoy her gift.  Happy Birthday to her.

I slept really late.  But, then, I stayed up too late reading the latest Gramophone magazine.

The furst thing I did when I was dressed this morning was to put things back in the bathroom,  U'kk tidy up the rubble from yesterday's event, listen to some holiday CDs, and work on The New Yorkers.  I think today will be mostly a proofreading of scores back from the copyist.

Christmas Eve morning greetings!  Tomorrow's coffee cake is in the oven and we're listening to King's College, as we've done every December 24th since 1981 (our first married Christmas).  We're going to Lima this afternoon for Fr. Richard to conduct a 4pm service.

A 4 p.m. service sounds just right.

DR JANE I put this on your BookFace page, too, but this should be the right size for your new avatar.

TOD: Today I will be tidying up, I guess. And getting ready for tomorrow's dinner.
I will go to the Christmas Eve service tonight and then enjoy my yearly eggnog.

Tomorrow morning I will go to church. After that will be cooking. My son and daughter-in-law will be going to her aunt's in the morning and here in the evening. Wae-Ling Goldstein wants to come and help cook, since her family doesn't celebrate Christmas.

I have proofread the "Love for Sale" utility, and I can either proofread "Say It With Gin" or work on scoring the "Love For Sale" girls' trio. Hmmmmmm . . .

Last night DR Elmore said:

One of my Drama Book Shop bosses in 1980 told me whatever problems you have in your first apartment will follow you.

I never heard that, but it made me think:  this wasn't my first ever apartment, but in the first apartment that was all my own, the water from the girl's bathtub above mine came through my bathroom ceiling, requiring a major repair and re-plastering. 

Back when I had my first apartment by myself after graduating from college, the neighbor above had a leak in their kitchen and the paint on my ceiling held all the water in a big, giant bubble!  FORTUNATELY, it never burst and the super was able to drain it without it splashing all over my kitchen.

So, fast-forward about forty years.  I'm up in the attic (completely unfinished and empty, just insulation in the walls and floor and a few plywood walking paths) checking on something.  It was hardly my first time up there in this house, and I should know my way around, right?  Well, suddenly without thinking I take one false step .... and my left leg goes right through, into the room underneath ..... which (thankfully, for all kinds of reasons) happens to be my bathroom.  Yep, right through a layer of insulation and sheetrock -- which, trust me, supports NOTHING -- and there I am, dangling from the attic right between the terlit and the shower.

Fast-forward twenty-five or so years (after my previous story), a now retired co-worker told me of the time she was up in her attic looking for something and took one false step and completely FELL through her ceiling onto her living room floor! :o She got hurt, but no bones were broken, so her recovery wasn't as bad or took as long as it could have.

I've been listening to Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops play holiday selections. He is such a graceful conductor, and every tempo seems just right. Too many pops conductors today lack the grace, the elan, with only two tempi: fast and faster.
