Happy Birthday Dad

Have a great one dad!!!

Christmas

I have just added three new Coffehouse videos from tonight. Yes that is me playing the mandolin. The mandolin is the very high pitch string instrument. In Frosty I am actually the one picking out the tune with the individual notes. Needless to say it took some practice and I screwed up a couple times but was able to recover. In Grandma Got Run Over I was strumming chords but again you can definately hear my instrument. Finally in Mele Kalik.. whatever, all I did was something called scratching. I didn't play any notes, I just scratched to the beat.

New videos to be made at tomorrow night's coffee house. In the mean time here is one of my all time fav. artists. regardless of any religious nonsence... the man can sing a tune.

The wait is over.

After anxiously awaiting the results, I can officially let people know. I have been selected as Colchester High School's Teacher of the Year for 2011-2012. I will get to give a speech at Senior Class Awards night, as well as reading the names at the graduation ceremony.

So long, Farewell, Amen

Missed the news from this past Wed.. Harry Morgan, you will be missed.

Xmas

Well X-mas is on it's way. Most of our shopping is done, tree and decorations are up and I will be doing up the X-mas letter after the Pats game. Our tree is the smallest we have ever had and we cut back on the ornaments this year, but we still represented Garfield, drummer boy with the head off and of course Bambi. Reservations are set for x-mas. We'll try a new hotel this year. Fireside Inn and Suites in Auburn. Hopefully it'll be better. Request for a trip to LL Bean on Sat. Yeah X-mas eve I know but let's go anyway.

Saturday

Early (6:00 AM early)) foray to walmart, a trip to a craft fair then topped off with a movie. Oh silly silly Bella. What were you thinking?
