IN with the old...

Leftovers - almost sick of turkey. Soup, risotto, sandwiches. Left over mashed potatoes with breakfast today. Fed the dog (Rex & Alli were here for breakie) the last of the left over carrots (figured the left over brussell sprouts would be a poor idea!).

Old music - went to see Chicago last night. This has been the couple years of concerts (for a new change, not just jazz - which is my usual play). So, we've (the royal we, with various cohorts) have also gone to see: Elton John, Billy Joel, America, Boz Scaggs, Harry Connick Jr. (yeah, ok, that's jazz), Dave Brubeck (more jazz. But the man is almost 88 years old! He'd retired after the 1st time I saw him in Vancouver - he came back.), Colin James, Chris Isaak, Molly Johnson (and a bit more), George Michael (possibly the best concert I have ever seen), Gordon Lightfoot, James Taylor, Van Morrison (lacks charisma on stage), Seal, Stevie Wonder, ZZ Top. Still to come this year: Bob Dylan, Madonna, Ian Tyson, Robin Williams. Lots of theatre and opera interspersed in there too.).

Old friends - the internet is a godsend for those of us with previously peripatetic existences. Have recently reconnected with people I've known since fifth grade. And, several in between. Sometimes a walk down memory lane is good for you...
