Yesterday, after doing the laundry, I found a click pen at the bottom of the washer AFTER removing the cleaned load from the tub.

I hate it when that happens!

Still, either version, seeing Gregory and Maurice Hines together is worth the price of admission.

I've even found pens still in my pants pockets after pulling them out of the dryer. ::)

I have since (finally) gotten into the habit of checking all my pants pockets for any contents before washing.

Miraculously, the pen still works AND it did not stain the laundry OR the washer.

Amazing!

  Am I the only dear reader who feared his tale would reveal a major ink stain on his shirt pocket? 

You are not.

That is certainly a relief!
It's a Christmas Miracle!

Maybe that can be added as a plot point to Larry's Moonshine & Mistletoe

Anent DR George's tale of the miscreant fountain pen:

Am I the only dear reader who feared his tale would reveal he was afflicted with a major ink stain on his shirt pocket?

Instead, his nibs were ruined.  Or was his nibs ruined?  Or does anyone ever use his nibs in a sentence any longer?



I feared the same. Giant ink stain.

I do feel lucky that that didn't happen.

Absolutely!  I got to see Gregory here in Olympia!  He performed for the Washington Center's CenterFest and he was fantastic.  He invited local kids who were taking tap and dance lessons to come onstage and dance with him.  There was just so much joy that evening.

Sadly, he died less than a year after that. :(

Speaking of Johns...here is John Wilson conducting his orchestra in a superb recording of "Salaambo's Aria" from "Citizen Kane" by Bernard Herrmann.  This was done in 2013.

The soloist is Russian soprano Venera Gimadieva.  She is beautiful and delivers the vocal brilliantly.
