It would probably be safer for me to go to work than stay here. B is playing table tennis on the Playstation Move, and the living room isn't safe. Apparently it's a game for the ages.

How is the Move? Do you play it at all? I've been considering it, but we've already got a Wii, so I'm trying to decide.

Forget it. He's on a roll.

A Kaiser roll?

I am making the most incredible gifts for my co-workers this year, and they are turning out beautifully!

I took black and white pictures of our building, printed them on tissue paper, attached them to tiles with Mod Podge, and over the weekend I will seal them with an acrylic sealer. I'll put little bumpers on the bottom of the tiles, and then I'll have a set of four coasters to present to each of my law partners and our staff.

I am so pleased with the way these things are turning out.

Yay! How did it go?

Attendance was a bit low due to the icy roads. Music was good. Handbells did better than this morning, and Wachet auf went surprisingly well. The problems? Handbells played immediately before the procession, and the rest of the choir didn't let the handbell people get in line before taking off. The last alto was about halfway down the aisle when I got through the door, and I didn't have a candle for most of the way. Then, for the recessional, I had to lead our side out and didn't realize I was supposed to wait for one of the official candle bearers to lead us out. So, basically, we messed up on processional and recessional stuff that would've been fine if we had rehearsed it. That happens a lot - we don't rehearse stuff because "everybody knows it." Well, everyone except the people (more than just me) who are somewhat new to the choir.

I'm still not entirely sure why we have 20 minutes (!) of prelude music, starting when the service is scheduled to begin. Counting the handbell piece, we had 4 (!) pieces of prelude music. I always thought preludes were played before the actual start of the service, but obviously I was wrong. The last number is always the handbell choir, and it's followed immediately by the processional. People who are in handbells and choir have to race around to the back of the church while not actually going through the church, and we didn't make it today. Seems like it would be quite easy to have the handbell choir be the next to last prelude piece so that we'd have time to get in line. It also seems as though we should either omit some of the prelude music or - here's a novel idea - play it BEFORE the service while people are coming in and being seated. As it is, the service is almost 2 hrs long because of all the extra music that gets packed in. I think some of it could be cut, but the music director would disagree with me. (stepping down from soapbox...)

Thanks for the welcome back. I only had 37 pages of LTE to catch up. Not as many as I feared.

Yea, and most of that was Ozzie, one word at the time.

FYI - you can also print them, in reverse image, on Tshirt transfers and iron them onto the tiles. Then you don't have to seal them.
