We got my 18 and 9 year old a Beatles Rock Band for the Wii and I've had a ball with it. I'm so happy my children exhibit such fantastic taste in music!

We've had a quiet day, just the two of us. Watched a Bill Moyers program about the LBJ Vietnam tapes, and then a program of Vietnam vets going back to make amends, and then the Dalai Lama about ethics. Dinner was pastitsio, greek salad, and cranberry sauce with cinnamon and nutmeg.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Very mellow (no pun intended!) Christmas this year. Cooked an all-Provence meal, all dishes we'd never tried before. Yummy. And not so heavy and broadening. A new tradition, I hope!

Merry Christmas, everyone! This holiday has brought a lot of blessings. Hubby came through his major back surgery in fairly good shape last week, future daughter-in-law (who was laid off in Nov.) had her Clinician job reinstated and she's back with her patients who love her, and son just started an internship with the Denver Nuggets basketball team last week (a dream he has had for years). And me, well, I'm just happy that everyone else is happy!

That's GREAT news, SuZQ. We can use good news. This should be a very Merry Christmas indeed for you.

I see Logan is stuttering again... Must be too much spiked egg nog.  Merry Christmas, everyone! This holiday has brought a lot of blessings. Hubby came through his major back surgery in fairly good shape last week, future daughter-in-law (who was laid off in Nov.) had her Clinician job reinstated and she's back with her patients who love her, and son just started an internship with the Denver Nuggets basketball team last week (a dream he has had for years). And me, well, I'm just happy that everyone else is happy! Awesome all the way around, SuZ. That's an excellent Christmas for your whole family. I love basketball. I wasn't good at playing it myself but I can understand his passion. I know it makes you happy that your family is healthy and doing well. LTR, my kids have good taste in music too and the older one and her husband anyway really love the Beatles...especially the tribute shows we've taken them to recently. The WII game they have though is funny and goofy and designed to be hilarious. The music they chose for the sake of us all making fools out of yourselves was just that. I've never seen anything so funny in my life as little ones and older alike trying to follow the dance to "Like a Virgin", "Material Girl", "Love Shack" and several rap songs. 80s style. All good fun! I think I may have photos I can post later on. If I'm not too embarrassed.

Merry Christmas all.
I'm sitting listening to a C/D that I got as a gift. Alan Toussaint's new C/D - "The Bright Mississippi". Heard that it is up for a Grammy. It's great listening with my glass of merlot.
Mr. Dockside and I had a memorable Christmas Eve. We live across Puget Sound from Seattle. Took the ferry to Seattle and I went to the locked ward of the County Hospital as a guardian ad litem to interview a man who may end up needing a guardian. Then we went to the church (in downtown Seattle) where we belong. I had brought pumpkin pie and potato salad to share at a potluck scheduled - only to find, when we got there, that it had been cancelled. We had planned to see "Did You Hear About the Morgans?" after the potluck and then return to church for punch and cookies, a Christmas aria and then the 11:00 service. Well, there was nothing open except a Starbucks (unless we had hours to wait for a table at The Cheesecake Factory). So, I ended up with a yogurt parfait and then we bought a huge tub of popcorn at the movie (it was great fun) and ate most of that.
The Christmas Eve meal I will never forget!!!
