I received the bumper sticker (above) in the mail the other day, sent to me by the Reagan Library. They need some money from me to keep open, apparently. I bought a couple coffee cups from them a couple years ago, so I guess this means we have a relationship. I'm tempted to put it on the back of my truck just to watch the Liberals lose functionality on the road as their hate becomes focused on me.
Ohhh, I miss that guy.
Still better than being stuck somewhere with a half assed faulty repair job. I think the boat will provide many days of fun and we look forward to visiting and using the boat in the preferred environment, a small lake. I wish I was making the drive with them, but ya gotta let them learn how to do these tasks on their own. (Nobody ever gave me a boat...) They will do fine.

Ten Thousand Japanese Beethoven fans get together and sing the Ode To Joy as it should be done. My first viewing of a live performance of the Ninth was in the front row watching the London Symphony, back in December '95. I was verily impressed, but watching the video of ten thousand people staying in tune and singing in a foreign language is more than amazing. Watch the entire video, the applause for the Conductor and Lead Singers is inspiring.
Have a fine Thursday!

I loved the Reagan vid. It reminded me that Reagan REALLY could tell a joke, not that I'd forgotten. It also contrasted nicely with that twit currently residing at 1600 Penna Ave, who laughs at his own jokes.
"Ode to Joy" is a joy, indeed, and the vid was most impressive. You mentioned the LSO and that triggered a few synapses for me. TSMP and I spent more than few nights down in The City at their performances, the BEST of which was an all-Strauss New Year's Eve concert. Drinking champagne at the interval and rubbing elbows with the hoity-toity beat the hell out of playing in the fountains in Trafalgar Square. ;-)
The LSO was a great couple evenings out for us, too. Glad to dredge up a good memory!
