Well, I managed to get 10 Christmas cards written tonight. Only one of the German cards. I realized I don't have addresses for one niece and my nephew.

[John G.]

But it's a start.

[John G.]

I guess I'm in an epic war movie frame of mind. I went from The Great Escape to starting The Thin Red Line. I liked this movie a lot when it came out. Still do, as it turns out.

[John G.]

Good night, all.

[vixmom]

Good night John

Gratuitous Post #100!

Oh, and I'm home.

DR George, you asked about sending the booklet for me and Josh to sign.  Of course.  I'm flattered that you asked me.

Thanks, Larry!

Good list.

It is a good list.  I would also add My Fellow Americans.

[Jane]

I just realized The Great Escape was not on the list.

[George]

Speaking of the cats, one of them vomited on the kitchen rug, and I stepped in it on my way from the bathroom.  I had to change socks. Oy!

I hate it when that happens!!

[George]

George, I would love a copy of the SpongeBob performance.

Got it!

[George]

DR George I am glad you saw the comments before purchasing a trimmer.

Me, too!

[George]

George could you please add Sponge Bob for me as well?

You're on the list, too!

Today is World AIDS Day.  On the New York City Gay Men's Chorus and Alumni Facebook page, my friend Jim Vivyan posted a 20-minute video of photos of the 200+ members who have died.  Too many of them were friends during my tenure as staff arranger between 1981 and 1998, and I would swear that between 1984 and 1995, the Chorus sang for a memorial service for a dead member or friend or supporter of the Chorus. 

The photos got to Michael MacDonald, the dear man who hanged my window blinds for me, and I lost it.  His partner, Neil Bickford, had already died, and I remember Michael telling me, I'll be gone soon.  Neil was a huge opera queen and he adored Renata Scotto.  She called him shortly before he died.

My dear friend Bill Tynes gave me a career, and I orchestrated for his company, The New Amsterdam Theatre Company, until his death in January 1986.  JUBILEE was his gift to me, and there have been so many times since January 1986 that I've wanted to call him and dish about recordings and revivals.  I think he would have fallen completely in love with John McGlinn's complete Show Boat recording.

My niece Laura is retiring at the end of this month from her position as golf pro with Illinois State University.  The article linked below appeared in Thursday morning's paper, on the front page of the sports section - above the fold:

Her phone blew up for 2 days with texts and emails of congratulations.  I'm so proud of her!

That pretty cool, Ginny!  Congrats to your niece!

43 years ago this month friends made this needlepoint for Bryan's nursery.

That's so cool too, Jane!

[George]

These do look better when they aren't sideways

That's very strange.  I downloaded both images and they were correctly vertical, but when I attached the downloaded image, it was sideways again!

Hello.

[George]

Today, I went to a fund raiser for Mpowerment Olympia, a nationally recognized HIV prevention organization.  There was a silent auction (I bid on something but got outbid), entertainment (the singer, Ken, and I knew each other years ago, and sang together in a local vocal workshop, AND were in a couple of shows together!), food and dessert. I don't remember if they said how much money was raised, but every bit helps.

[George]

Hi, Tom.

Washington State University’s newest apple hybrid” The Cosmic Crisp” went on sale today nationwide.  They are supposed to be wonderful.
