Hey Guys,

My performance calendar is finished for the year. About 3 1/2 weeks of singing with a local choir (at about 14 rest homes and assisted living facilities) and 3 Christmas programs (playing keyboard) at local senior centers.

Having survived five years now past throat and kidney cancer I am thankful that I will be home again this year (goin' on 14 years) fixin' rib roast, veggies, potatoes, tomato bisque soup and bread pudding with spiced pears for 12 of our close friends. Then playing games the rest of the night.

EDDIE: The thought crossed my mind about heading back to crash Gary's party - then I realized he said he was having crab "balls" on his menu. I was a little concerned about the size of crabs that might be runnin' around.

Happy (and safe) new years to all of you !!
