For those in the US, I hope y'all had a lovely Thanksgiving. We enjoyed a wonderful evening and repast with friends and (their) family. Then it was back to work for me on Friday. Then, yesterday evening, we attended the glorious opening night premiere production of A Christmas Carol at the Annapolis Shakespeare Company! Highly recommended. * * * On the side, I'm spending some time working with/learning more about Django. And I'm still working on that balsa model. The tail surfaces are affixed, and shaping of the wing continues. * * * DoD announced no new casualties in the…

Whelp. I see from Barbara's postings that Bob is being cranky in the ICU, which is a pretty reasonable response, IMO. Pulling for a speedy recovery for him! * * * A busy work week, full of tasks, a holiday pot luck luncheon, and a lot of after-hours patching. All-in-all, productive and successful. I've also been working on the balsa model of the F6F-3 Hellcat fighter, you can find pictures of that over on my twitter feed (@bilborg). On the entertainment front, coming up soon from the Annapolis Shakespeare Company, we have the premiere of a new production of A…

We're pulling for Bob Thompson (site), who is having a particularly rough stretch with heart issues. We count on the doctors to find a way to safely treat what's ailing him. * * * Our thanks to each and every veteran who fought to uphold our constitution. * * * A busy three day weekend is behind us. I got some holiday shopping done, and did some chores around the house, as well as remote work for $FIRM. We got to spend another lovely Broadway show tunes cabaret evening Sunday night with our friends from Annapolis Shakespeare. We were treated…

Yup, this should have been yesterday, but I was busy, then I was tired. I had a good week last week. Productive at work, got most of the important chores done at home, and we went to a wedding on Friday. It was lovely. But there's not much else to report, and I have more to do this evening. Enjoy yourselves. * * * Our condolences to the family and friends of Sgt. First Class Stephen B. Cribben, 33, of Simi Valley, California, who died on Nov. 4 in Logar Province, Afghanistan as a result of wounds sustained while engaged…

Boo! Ha Ha Ha! There. That's the extent of my seasonal participation in the upcoming Day of the Dead celebration. * * * This last week, we went to see POE... And All The Others, put on by the Annapolis Shakespeare Company. As with last year's production, Poe was played with power and sensitivity by Brian Keith MacDonald. This year's Muse (and all the others) was played by Olivia Ercolano. Olivia's performance seemed to be informed, nay, infused, with the imperious strength of her Red Queen role from Alice, earlier this year. What a joy! There are still two chances…
