Hi Kansas!

And, SOMMS (off you go...)

And, Guido!

This is a very picturesque place to be today...the New Years avatars are quite dreamy...

Morning all!! Is there still coffee?

[NYadgal]

Posted: 1/3/05 at 9:26am

Mom, what does your signature mean?

[Guido Contini]

Posted: 1/3/05 at 9:26am

I haven't made any coffee yet, perhaps I better get with it eh?

Mom - how wonderful to bump into you this morning! I do hope your holidays were peaceful, and that you've entered the New Year with promise and hope

Also, we picked up Ray Charles' last recording (all duets) - for anyone who liked him, it really is a beautiful cap to his glorious career.

DG, it's a wonderful recording. I listened to it quite a bit over the holidays.

Good morning Mom--hugs and coffee coming your way. D, I've been listening to the CD constantly since receiving it last week. I love the duet with James Taylor!

i've heard good things about it, but haven't been to pick it up yet.

It's a wonderful display of how Mr. Charles could fit himself into many different categories - and somehow make them all his own. In addition to some obviously natural pairings (B.B. King and Natalie Cole come to mind) there are some that stretch him as an artist - and to do that right up until the very last is probably his greatest legacy.

I have yet to see the movie. I need to make time for it in the coming weeks.

So glad you asked addy! The name of this little ditty is "Oer yw'r gwr sy'n methu caru" Which translates loosely to Soon the hoar old year will leave us. Which in English we sing Deck the Halls.
My signiture I am still having some trouble translating into English but it speaks of the coldness of Snowdonia (a remote part of Wales) but we will gather together to to bid the old year farewell.
Hello DG the holidays were fun Lizzie was the star of the show. Hope you had a grand time.

what's this? another welsh person I see?

[NYadgal]

Posted: 1/3/05 at 9:43am

Thanks, mom! and I love the picture you're using as your avatar...

Mom, I'm sure Lizzie was appropriately spoiled and that Santa was VERY good to her!

I still can't believe Pip tried to hook me up with mom's daughter. *hides face in shame*

[NYadgal]

Posted: 1/3/05 at 9:48am

Guido, maybe in a few years...

[PalJoey]

Posted: 1/3/05 at 9:49am

Snowdonia? For real, Mom? It sounds more like a place name in a Dr. Seuss book: "Snowdonia, where the Snowdonians live!"

Everyone--if you haven't already, go to the thread congratulating Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman on their 25th (!) anniversary.

[Guido Contini]

Posted: 1/3/05 at 9:50am

In a few years, it's been long enough already hon.

[NYadgal]

Posted: 1/3/05 at 9:51am

PJ - it does! I love it...

and, I've already been to the anniversary thread with a pink drink raised in their honor! 25 years is impressive. I feel like a youngster with 15...

[Pip]

Posted: 1/3/05 at 9:53am

In my defense, Guido, I DID start back-pedaling when I found out you were 25... I thought you were maybe 18 or something...but I didn't know you too well... Don't worry, they say for every Jack there's a Jill...so there's the right girl out there for Guido, too!!

[Guido Contini]

Posted: 1/3/05 at 9:55am

hehe..it was good-hearted of you to even try. so hold it against you, i shall not.

[NYadgal]

Posted: 1/3/05 at 9:55am

Absolutely!

I have made it my resolution to play matchmaker this year... I want all my friends to be as happy as I am!
