The guy singing, Mike Fornatale, is one of the most amazing singers to ever sing at Loser’s Lounge. This was at the Loser’s Lounge Tribute to Paul McCartney. Fornatale started by singing the song, You Gave Me the Answer, and that was really sweet and lovely in and of itself, but then it turned into something else that just blew me away. I didn’t see it coming and it was just so so so great.

The video I linked to was taken down, alas.

Okay, except for copy editing, but that’s not hard. That’s when they go through and fix the grammar and so on. Also, the legal department has to make sure I have done anything that’s going to cause us all a lot of grief down the road. But my publisher has accepted my book and it’s off we go! Now the fun part: covers, page layout, etc. I bought myself these lilacs to celebrate. (Finney, the picture slut, insisted on getting in the shot.)

Original post lost! I don’t know where it went. Okay, I lied. I accidentally deleted it. I hope it wasn’t a good one. Cute cat picture, though. At least that wasn’t lost, THANK GOD.

We’re talking on Echo about whether or not we look like our mothers. The women are, I should say. This is my mother (and my step-father Jim). Everyone says we look alike, but aside from the coloring, I don’t see it so much. But I have to say, as I age, I’m starting to look like she did when she was older. I’m not sure how old she was in this picture, somewhere in her 40’s, I’m guessing. Anyway, she was pretty, I think! (She died when she was 66.)

I love this picture of Grace Church that they’re using on this concert flyer! It’s a lovely program. The Song for Athene was sung at the funeral for Princess Diana. It’s singularly beautiful, haunting and ethereal piece.
