Acacia Koa: Oned of my clients set me up with a neighbor last Saturday. I'd call him the day before to set up the meeting and he talked non-stop without taking a breath. I thought, "Okay, he's nervous. I'll give him a chance." We met the next day at a local restaurant. He saw me and judged me not up to his expectations in 1/2 second. We went in for tea and dessert. He never asked one question about me, but continued to talk non-stop about himself. It stung to be rejected so sumarily, but in the end
Acacia Koa: Hi. Was in the middle of your "Snow Blind" from "A Red Hot New Year" when I came to the second paragraph on page 220. "The line of fur (FIR) trees -- Aspen..." Somebody wasn't paying attention during editing. Fir are evergreen and Aspen are deciduous. Sorry to be so picky, but it stopped me in my cross-country ski tracks. Other than that, lovin' the story.

Today's Greeting - A Musical

  • Mood: Sentimental

Last night, admittedly after a hot toddy or three, I started trying to find versions of A Christmas Carol I could watch for free on the web.  Even with a gazillion cable channels, I’d only seen one version (George C. Scott) this year.  After watching the 1938 AND the 1951 versions (and after a few more toddies) I stumbled across some excerpts from the 2004 musical version with Kelsey Grammar, which I didn’t see at the time.  For some reason, I had it in my head that it wasn’t a very good version, but if the excerpts of musical numbers I saw on YouTube are any indication, I was wrong.

Anyway, I promise future greetings will be my usual snarky fare, but the following video actually made me tear up a bit.  Okay, so the rum may have had something to do with it.  But it’s okay to be a sentimental sap around the holidays, don’t you think?

Here's a link in case the imbed doesn't work for you:
