Knit happens

It's been awhile since I shared these. Enjoy.

12th day of Christmas

If I count correctly. Here's a little something to get your toes tapping.

Still very low-energy. Hope I have enough to get me to NYC tomorrow & that the Iran hoo ha doesn't catch up with me there.

Light show, etc.

Here is a picture & video of the biggest light show in our neighborhood, and another video that ought to get your toes tapping & get you in the Christmas spirit if you're not already. :)

Sugar Plum like no other

If this doesn't get you in the mood, I don't know what will. What an ensemble! Get a load of that bass note! In case you're interested, it's The Pentatonix. Listening to the clips on the rest of the CD, I think I like them best without lyrics. (Though the Mr. Grinch video on their homepage is pretty good, too, if a bit long.)

One of my favorite things

I've been sending around examples of catch breaths, those things singers & wind players need to be able to do to breathe without interrupting the musical phrase. Andy sent me this example of one of our favorites, Kristen Chenoweth singing one of our (at least my) favorite songs from Candide. I'd like to share it with you.

Meet Toby

The newest member of our household. He's still not sure he trusts me and hasn't got run of the full house, but we're hopeful once he does that Mimsy and he will get along.

Black bottom

In this era of folks' careers bottoming out when their youthful (and not so young) appearances in black face come to light, here's a 1926 dance (their version of contemporary country line dances?), I thought you might enjoy. Be sure to read the text below the video on youtube to see where it came from.

How many times will you have to watch it to have it down? And who needs aerobics after that workout?
