Great that you stopped by, Ron: The times they are a'changing, but it sounds like your life is like it was the last time you posted. That's reassuring... :-) I'd like to hear more about Deirdre's choral gropu too. I'm still singing in the Men's Chorus at the church where Ruth and I are members, but I'm far less active now. The church is an hour's drive away, and it's starting to seem foolish spending 2 and a half hours on the road roundtipr to go to an hour and a half practice when we're reduced to singing two songs because the services have been cut back. That reminds me of the days of driving up to the Eisteddfod in Massachusetts for a whole weekend as a workshop performer and ending up doing six songs for the weekend. When you start calculating MPS (Miles Per Song) it sounds silly. But, the Eisteddfod was a wonderful time to hear a lot of great music and renew aquaintances with old friends. I'd still do it in a heartbeat.

If we start shedding possessions as we get older, we also start looking at where our time, energy and money go and focus our lives better.

Say Hello to Jan for me, Ron.
