Christmas time

With all the rushing and shopping and checking lists it is always nice to slow down and remember what Christmas is all about.

Noah is a member of The Cathedral Choir of Boys and Adults at the Cathedral of St. Michael the Archangel, Springfield, MA. On Saturday night they performed A Candlelight Festival of Lessons and Carols at the Cathedral. The Choir performed various works by Elgar, traditional English and French carols, and an African American traditional carol titled " What' cha going call that pretty little baby".

With the lighting of candles and Scripture readings it was a nice way to bring the real meaning of Christmas back to center stage.


Charles Schultz had the same message back in the 1960's when he produced the best Christmas cartoon of all time.

Boston Car Show 2008
















I went to the Boston Car Show on Saturday. This was my first chance to see the new 2010 Mustang, and the changes they made to the body. Overall the changes were minor from the 2005+ platform but I'm not a big fan of the rear end of the car. It has been rounded slightly and what's with the black plastic trim? I'm keeping my 2007.


It is fun to look at and sit in car that I'll never be able to afford. Like this ZR-1 Corvette, and this green Porsche.














And the really expensive ones they keep behind the ropes. Can you say Ferrari.
