Hey Ruth!
-> 
->  HN> Merry Christmas Ruth!
-> 
-> And you also. Is Amanda coming home in time to help with the baking and
-> cooking?
->
Oddly enough, she's flying in Tuesday 
morning and flying back out again on 
Thursday morning...she's coming for a 
job interview. WISH she could stay longer
but work demands are high back in 
Sacramento as it's the last two weeks
she'll be there and they/she want to
"wrap up" as much of her projects as
possible. But we WILL get to see
her and that's WONDERFUL!
fingers crossed that she gets
the position.
 
-> -> ->  HN> Christmas music station, and I even
-> -> ->  HN> have a Dave Brubeck station.
-> 
-> -> Now, the late Dave Brubeck.
->
and you can add the late Ravi Shankar
as well. 
 
->  HN> Sadly yes, but he'll never die
->  HN> as long as his music lives!
-> 
-> Same with all the other great musicians. I never really got into jazz
-> tho. Same with some other genres but as I've gotten older, the noise
-> level is one of my biggest turn offs to certain types of music.
-> 
-> -> -> Rather ecclectic array there, but I don't know what I'd pick.
-> 
-> ->  HN> Even more ecclectic than you'd imagine...I
-> ->  HN> have about 18 different stations that I switch
-> ->  HN> between depending on my mood.
-> 
-> Multiple personalities? (G)
->
Perhaps...I'll ask the others (grin)
 
-> -> Bluegrass? Some years ago I put a Smokey Mountain Christmas CD into 
our
-> -> car player--the girls groaned but Steve and I enjoyed it. The girls
-> -> learned to appreciate classical music via PDQ Bach.
-> 
->  HN> True bluegrass I like, junked up stuff I
->  HN> don't care for as much.
-> 
-> OK, define the difference please.
->
Not sure I can...but I can 
tell the difference when I hear it.
I like the vocals less as well.
 
-> ->  HN> Had the chance to see them once but
-> ->  HN> we did not manage to do so.
-> 
-> -> It was enjoyable. We went back to one place on River Street where
we'd
-> -> had a good meal before but this time it was disappointing.
-> 
->  HN> Sadly that happens sometimes!
-> 
-> I know, the one bbq place that opened here a year ago October has gone
-> down hill. The meat is still good but the sides are not. We were at
-> Smithfield's the other day and Steve got the baked beans as one of his
-> sides. He said that theywere better than the last ones he had at the
-> Carolina Smokehouse. Sad day when a chain beats a free standing place
-> when the latter started out so good.
->
Once they get a following they
try to cut a few corners to make 
a bit more on the profit side of the
ledger?
 
->  HN> Yep, When I was a kid we'd
->  HN> drink out of pretty much any
->  HN> stream we found in the mountains.
->  HN> Now we take the katadyn filter.
-> 
-> I understand, I used to do the same, the few chances I had. Now I'd use
-> a filter as well.
-> 
-> ->  HN> Any luck on finding a position yet?
-> 
-> -> Still waiting, doing research but no resumes out yet. Still a couple 
of
-> -> finals to be taken.
-> 
->  HN> Good luck!
-> 
-> Thanks; the last final is (final final?) is tomorrow morning. I got my
-> hair cut, changed the restaurant reservation number and have been
-> cleaning the house. Family starts arriving Thursday about noonish.
-> 
-> ->  HN> Hope you're enjoying the festivites!!
-> 
-> -> Rather quiet right now but will get loud all too soon.
-> 
->  HN> Personally we've come to like the quiet celebration.
-> 
-> Wait till you have grandkids. It's going to be loud this year; we'll
-> have all 6 kids together with their parents. Kids range in age from 14
-> down to 17 months so it will definately be loud.
-> 
Are both daughters making it with
their young as well?
chat with you soon!
