Lift Up Your Heads Ye Mighty Gates,

That's a great one. I wish my voice was still in the shape it was when we did The Messiah in Oratorio Choir in college. I did enjoy being at Messiah sing-alongs and surprising people. I was a first soprano. Ah, youth.

I was here at 8 and was told I was the first parent to show. I've waited 30 min and not one other parent has shown up. I am appalled. Wtf is wrong with people?

I really like In the Deep Midwinter, which I had never heard until I went to university.

I always thought this was "In the Bleak Midwinter"

Maybe it's a different song?

I put up my little Christmas tree and put on the lights. The little ornaments needs hangers, which I don't have, but I may leave it at just the lights. I've always loved the lights.

No, you're right. I just had a brain fart about the title.

That album it's from, from Mojo Magazine, has some of my favorite versions of Xmas songs on it.

Or I won't because the fitted sheet ate everything and most still need drying.

I assume a given end time, especially for something with kids is for Reasons. So ignoring it seems weird.

Nice tree, Connie! Don't think I'm getting to mine tonight.

We have a big messy storm due in last Sunday and predicted to make the Monday commute nasty. If it's bad, I'm going to skip the morning and go in late. I don't have any more PTO for the year, but I'll happily make up four hours to avoid sliding off the steep parts of my commute. I hate that they put our new office on a mountainside, with steep driveways. The last storm we had, people couldn't get up to the building.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I am being a good patient and not drinking anything right now, because I had to take painkillers. But after spending all day answering emails from students who don't like their grades, I could really use a drink.
