UK Soon!

Steve rang me up last nite for Christmas, he was walking off his meals in Jersey. He had seen his brothers who did the cheese and sausage plates and some treats, but Steve did all the meals and he was telling me it was such a high because he loves loves loves to cook and everybody enjoyed the meals. I am glad he scooted off back home to his mom’s so she could enjoy his taking care of her. He was going to see some high school friends today for a party they called him about.

I had a great Christmas. I got a job offer Christmas eve afternoon which is local and sounds wonderful, and I can stash my cash for the move. The blizzards raged for over two days with up to 70mph winds. 400 miles of interstate was closed in this why am I living here state of south dakota-wyoming to minnesota borders. I know every inch of interstate 90 at christmastime from here to Chicago, so I am glad to be home and safe and watching BBC and Christmas movies. I hadn’t see Elf before with Will Ferrell, but any movie with Bob Newhart and Louis Prima music is wonderful, as I rode my stationary bike @ last.

The snow kept coming down and footprints to the garage were soon drifted back over. The cats sat on the porch and watched and even scooted about outside, but when their little silouette of cat ears and head are in my porch window, they come inside and sleep on the radiators.

plus he wants to bake more bread before he goes! am I in heaven? this is the perfect Christmas spirit-friend, love, great music -we are blasting West Side story, the Leonard Bernstein music is blasting, I like to be in America!!!

redecorating to Leonard Bernstein's West Side story- Dance at the Gym- Brilliance in music, the best!! yip yip

My neighbor Lori brought over some lights and we brought out the tree and decorated it, and Zuke is still here elfing away at the shower-Christmas music is on, but now John Mayall Turning Point. He is taking all my albums, that’s going back to my first album ‘West Side Story’ and Frank’s ‘Come on and Dance With Me,’ on which he was winking and holding up a finger beckoning me to come dance and I never stopped since. Cody is putting all my radio shows from KEQ on cd’s, and another fellow DJ besides Steve, my friend Jake in Vermont, sent me a Christmas present of about  10 cds he made for me. He always makes me cds for long trips to england on planes, and he sent me some cheese from his Vermont town, a tee shirt from a coffee house, and some of his photographs. I knew he liked Paul Bowles, who wrote Sheltering Sky among many other books. Jake had the radio show before me on Wednesdays and we always had a good yak or shared a lunch. Other people really got on my nerves while I was trying to concentrate on the flow of my music, but Jake was the only person who I loved having around. He came with us to see Les Paul in New York at the Iridium, and luckily Jake drove me home to New Jersey, because the cabbies wouldn’t go that far. Here are some pictures of this week.

Lori my neighbor insisted I put up my tree and brought some lights.
