I have taken a vow of poverty.

To annoy me, send money.

The Buddhists at their New Year celebration asked us each to say what our wish was for.

I told them that I wished for them all to pray for me to win the $31Million Lottery on New Year's Eve. I have been told that money can't make you happy, so I was willing to suffer on their behalf to save them from material excess for a while.

The monks have a good sense of humour.. :-)

Frogprince,

What song(s) did they sing?

I won't be able to come up with a title. It was one of Peggy's originals, with a very feminist point expressed with a lot of humor.
Peggy just called for three men and three women from the audience to do chorus parts. The men expressed their delight at being carefree bachelors, and the women lamented being "old maids".
It wasn't really a big scale perfomance opportunity for my wife at all; she's in two choirs and gets in a solo here and there. It was just such a joy to see her get to do that with Peggy.

It would be for anyone. Now, why weren't you up there as carefree bachelor, is what I want to know:)?

Janie, if you ever heard me try to sing, especially anything that I haven't been long familiar with, you would know why : )

So what if you couldn't sing, you could've been her foot stool or her banjo rack! To be on stage with Peggy I'd've been her rug. Good for your wife, lucky woman.

For good straightforward singing, my wife can hold her own with the pros. She's not heavy into confidence, though, and memorizing an extensive reportoire (sp?) isn't her forte. She gets in a solo song or two now and then in low-key "venues", and is always well received.
