Day 7 of January

Well these past two days have certainly been filled with a wide gammet of news.
Friday night was "my night." Janice graciously agreed to help me achieve another activity on my 50 list. "To sing Kareokee, in an actual kareokee bar." We went to Ducky's (not the office furniture place) and what a great time. Janice's friend Sam is a regular there, so he was our guide. The place was busy when we got there at 9:00 pm and it was still packed when we left at 1:00 am. So I got the chance to do two songs. A Farmer's Daughter song, and a Brian Whyte song. I was a little nervous, but learned a very valuable lesson. If you really don't want to be heard, pick a popular song, and the entire clientelle sings along. The variety in the place was astounding - from the people -age, gender, degree of drunkenness to the music it's self - country, show tunes, pop, rap; to the quality of singers - and everyone got applause!!!
We took a cab to and from the bar, and thankfully the driver bringing up home had his snow tires on because the amount of snow that had fallen was unbelievable. I did have a little scare after we got home; I went and shut down everything in my office and basement; then I went upstairs and couldn't find Janice. I called a few times; checked the upstairs, and finally I heard Maya bark downstairs; seems Janice had already fallen asleep (or passed out) on the couch.
So Saturday day was a lazy day for me - very non eventful - until I called Mom. She had been worried about me (apparently not enough to call me) because she heard on the news that there had been a home invasion robbery in the Hamptons!!!! Just what I wanted to hear!!!!! Then I get off the phone with Mom and Patrick calls. They won there first game this morning but lost their second game in the afternoon. But I could sense from his voice that there was something else he needed to tell me. (my first clue was when he actually phoned me, cause that never happens at a tournament) Seems he may have dislocated he knee in the second game. I guess he's out of the rest of the tournament. Thankfully he's not in pain and his spirits seem good!!!

In looking at my 50 list, I see that I am a little behind in reporting what has been accomplished.
So in additional to the Kareokee, here are some more to cross off.
Make a cheesecake (it was delicious)
Visit a pshyic (not one of my better readings)
Buy a thumb ring (didn't spend a lot of money - and off course it broke)
Color a velvet Doodle Art (was a favorite pastime when I was kid)
Keegal balls ( use when I do my treadmill)
Organize home videos on CD (I love putting them in the computer to watch)
Visit old house in Westgate (drive by counts)
Learn to Line Dance (went from sept 2009-May 2010)

So that is 17 items off the list - only 33 to go!

So I think It's time I head to bed and pick up a good book.

Night
