Hey there, Well, my blogging skills suck. My last entry was from August, and now it's rainy November, just a few days away from the tryptophan Fest that is Thanksgiving. Holy moly, where does the time go? Catch up time-- my partner Lynn and I got hitched on Aug 9 near Seattle. We had a big outdoor party for friends and family, and it was lovely. A little sun, a little rain-- perfect! It was a spectacular day. Since Aug, it's just been a mishmash of stuff. I produced a couple of shows for my talented friends in Aug/Sept (Vickie Shaw and Roxanna Ward, and Julie Goldman's one-woman show)-- I did 3 gigs in Oct (as bass player) with my friends Teresa Trull and Barbara Higbie. Had fun at Olivia's Turks and Caicos gigs, where I witnessed the election of Barack Obama as our next President. Unbelievably moving. Lots of screaming, weeping, and partying ensued. I am so hopeful for our future. Now, if we can just hang on for a little while... it's scary right now. W did a great job of driving our country into the ground in 8 years, amazing. Sad news-- our beautiful kitty Abby Normal disappeared Nov 1, and we haven't seen her since. We miss her terribly, the house is so quiet without her. Here's wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season. I give thanks for all our many blessings. Take care, Lisa
