13 December 2017

Friday the 13th falls on a Wednesday this month. And yes, yes, it isn't Sunday. Sunday we were out at Annapolis Shakespeare's A Broadway Holiday in Annapolis. They gave us holiday and seasonal standards, marvelous singing by the company and friends, including the extraordinary and talented Rachelle Fleming. Simply wonderful. And a late Sunday night out rather gets my week off on the wrong foot - not much energy at all the last couple of evenings. But I'm back ... just in time to spend tonight patching systems remotely. Yay?

Bob Thompson is continuing to battle health issues, and we're pulling for him.
