A Quiet Christmas

Posted by Mary Jo  Published in Reading, Watching, Listening

I spent a very quiet and relaxing holiday, partly by choice and partly because winter weather kept people from traveling. Christmas Eve was spent with extended family, playing games, listening to music, having dinner and opening gifts in front of the fireplace.  How all that can exhaust me I’ll never know, but it did! Yesterday [...]

Get Smart in the Snow

Posted by Mary Jo  Published in Reading, Watching, Listening

Snow and more snow, with the occasion interruption for snow flurries.  What a messy, miserable day here in Seattle.

Posted by Mary Jo  Published in Reading, Watching, Listening

MAMMA MIA!

Posted by Mary Jo  Published in Bits & Pieces, Reading, Watching, Listening

On a recent trip to Las Vegas, I stayed at the Mandalay Bay Resort.  When it came to choose an evening’s entertainment, it was easy to choose the musical comedy MAMMA MIA! since it was playing in the theater at Mandalay Bay. While I’m not a huge ABBA fan, I’d heard so many good things [...]
