My favorite Christmas memories:I used to work so very hard to make Christmas when my kids were younger. I over-stressed myself to make sure everything was "right." One year, Daughter and I decided to go to Las Vegas before Christmas (school was out a week before and after Christmas) to see Forever Plaid.I got everything done for Christmas, and we were driving north and my hands were clenched SO tight on the steering wheel. I realized that if I hadn't gotten something done, it was ok; we were on vacation, and I could RELAX now. I literally felt my hands loosen their grip on the steering wheel. It was the best feeling ever. I relaxed and we had a very fun time. We made Christmas Week Vacation a thing. It was great. After she graduated college and began to work, we couldn't do it any more. I still miss it.
Mom's still in a lot of pain, from what she says.
Christmas Day greetings! We’ve had great fun so far, opening our stockings and a few presents. Everyone else went to an 11am service and I stayed home to get myself together for the rest of the day. I’m now enjoying a cup of coffee and a cookie.
DR Jeanne, what did you do about dinner? Did you eat the one that was delivered?
I hope Tom drops by for Christmas. And I hope he's feeling better.
Relaxed vibes for DR LAURA.
All of the videos and links from yesterday were much fun.For a moment I thought a women had gone on for Hugh Jackman.....and then I kept reading the story....the video was most excellent.DR GEORGE told us what everyone else got - what did the chickens get for Christmas?
In the second one, I dreamed that bk revealed his next book in the Notes, along with a mocked-up cover. It was to be a suspense thriller set in Washington D.C.
And I thought (in the dream), how is bk going to research the environs?
Listening to A Hollywood Christmas.
We had a workshop of the show and a week of performances in November 2011 at the Hilton Head arts center, and a reading in 2015 after we added the song for Della and her husband "My Love Brought Me Summer on a Cold Winter's Day," but it was not well prepared. In August 2016, the York Theatre gave us a week's rehearsal and we had a pretty good reading. Our DR ChasSmith came to it. The success of that got our producer working on a demo, which we recorded in March 2017. We selected the cast from the folk we really wanted who had done the various readings. For some reason, the produceer,. who's really a good guy, is dragging his heels about finishing the album and releasing it. I think the recording would push interest in a production or two.
