OK. I'm awake. I.e., I haven't gone to bed yet, just a few hours snooze on the sofa. I was up and down about going, but now since I'm awake ...
Manhattan, here I come!

This is kind of late notice, so I am posting this here as well as in Social Discussion and Submit News.

That's funny. I put quotation marks and a question mark at the end, and instead, it's showing an ampersand and a q.

I'm another one who missed it!

Congratulations, Reverend Brad!

I'm so happy for you! May God continue to bless you and all those whose lives you touch.

TC, I'm sorry we won't be seeing you on tour. But we'll keep track of what you're doing and where you are. Good luck!

Oh, no! That's awful! Oh, Amy, I'll miss you, as will so many others, as you can see from these postings. You are such a nice person and so talented. I hope you do some touring of your own. Lots of good jazz clubs here in NY/NJ! Good health and blessings to you and Stizz in all that you do. I know t...

Granted, he's cutting back, but he's still planning on touring at least *some*

I was thinking that same thing, Jen!

A few years ago the lid fell off the tea kettle as I was pouring. The boiling water went all over my hand. Ow! I never knew something that only touched you for a split second could keep hurting so much! I could hardly drive to the drug store, but I did, and the druggist gave me an ointment that work...

I like the BB King suggestion (though I've never been there - just wanted to go). And they have a Gospel brunch on Sundays. Yum!!!

Have fun!

I found this purely by accident in the January 7, 2006 online Sun Herald (Florida). http://www.sun-herald.com/newsarchive2/010706/ch12.htm?date=010706&story=ch12.htm "Writers group to hold meet-and-greet The Peace River Center for Writers will hold a "meet-and-greet" evening with ...

Merry Christmas!
Today, January 7th, is Russian Orthodox Christmas. And since my Mom's half of the family are Russian Orthodox, the decorations don't come down until after today! (They may even still be here for Russian Easter! )

Woo hoo!

Congratulations on Post 20,000, Ann!

Thanks, PHJim! http://www.wilshriner.com/index.htm Here's a link to the director, Wil Shriner's, website. The homepage has a pic of him, Jimmy and Carl Hiassen. There had been other photos, but I don't see them there now. However there are downloads that I haven't downloaded, so maybe there's someth...

Phin power and prayers for Don Ho. He just had some kind of heart surgery in Thailand. The surgery, which is not allowed in US, does something with heart cells. For those who don't remember him, Don Ho is the Hawaiian singer who made the song "Tiny Bubbles" famous. He is the one who introd...
