Good morning, everyone! Bright and beautiful here in Northern Virginia, but it's looking scarey as all heck down there in the Gulf. Methinks Rita is quite the plus-sized hurricane and needs some drastic "dieting"!! Redoubling my prayers for all those affected, they must be terrified!
I miss my community choir, too, Suzanne. It's alot closer to me than you are to yours, but still, 40-some miles one-way on a week night for a rehearsal that doesnt' end till 10PM is not conducive to being "bright-eyed and busy-tailed" in the morning! I spent 12 wonderful years with those folks, though. Funny, now that you ask, I can't, for the life of me, remember the really cool piece we were learning last night! We did "We Believe That This Is Jesus" last Sunday and this week we are doing one called "Hymn Tapestry" which is a medley of hymns. We started work on one called "Farther On" which has a spiritual feel to it and has one group of voices "calling" and another group "responding" through the chorus part. But the really neat one.....

brain dead on that one!
And, no, Elaine, we haven't started working on Christmas yet and I'm getting worried. There are too many of us in this group who don't read music at all, or just barely (like me) and the director is planning on us doing the Messiah on Dec. 18th. That was in the newsletter and she has yet to even talk to us about it!!! I have my doubts that we will have time to learn it properly.
Glad you were able to get some work done while you were Dissing, Tiara! At least you have your priorities straight--DIS, then work!

And, what's this?! Your robot turned into a boat?! Must have been one of those Transformer guys my son used to play with!! Sounds like you got some good "quality time" in with Jar, though. Bonus points for making it to the gym this morning, too!! You go, girl!!
G'morning, Jellybean! Don't work too hard today--after all, it's almost the weekend!
Bosses are out at a trade show today!! Whoofreakinghooo!! Was looking forward to a day of reading and Dissing until I opened my email and found a list of things to do. Sheesh..........better get to it. Sooner I get started, the sooner I get back to doing what I want!! Ya'll have a wonderful day!!
