jessie k. Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 I love handwriting. I'm told mine is good, but compared with standard penmanship of just, say, a century ago, mine is chicken scratches. Ever looked in old courthouse records, or the writing in a family Bible? The writing is just beautiful. I've also found that it's a lot easier to write neatly with a pencil--a very sharp, normal pencil, not one of those awful mechanical ones. Anyone else get that, or is it just me?

LongTom Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 I sang today with a group of really good singers, for the first time in about 5 years. I am astounded at just how GOOD that made me feel! I had forgotten how much music is like oxygen to me. I feel like a fish that's been slowly drying in the sun, suddenly dropped into a clear, cool lake. (The fact that one of them told me "You sing like an angel," didn't hurt either. Walking on air at the moment!)

LongTom Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Tom, I've been told the same of my voice hmmm ...if that means we sound alike one of us is in trouble!

Captain Jim Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 One of my favorite lines from a movie is from "Out of Africa." As yet another disaster befalls the heroine, her servant observes that "God is happy, Sabu. He plays with us." Capt. Jim: Making God happy since 1957. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
