Tuesday, January 27, 7:30 am. A cold January is warmed by the thoughts of Carol's (Jan. 24th) and Rebekah's (Jan 29th) birthdays. We had a little party for Carol Saturday afternoon. Fun. The Ice Cream Cake I bought was a big hit. I'm digging some rehearsals for performances on cello, tuba, bass. Also SwingTown plays Sat. night this week for Rotary. More fun. Steve is helping us around the house with some repairs. Lee M was here Thursday to play some country blues. Hope to put a little band together there soon.
Last weeks checkup at MSK went well. I'm still healthy. Jon Flowers met us at the hospital so we could catchup. He's very busy touring with Josh Radin. Our occasional messages from Ben and Maayan are filling up our message machine. Pretty soon there will be no room for anyone else's messages. We love to listen to their voices. And our live conversations continue to knock us out. Ben loves math problems, he loves a brain challenge. He's got a good brain. And Maayan is the sweetest. A real artist with the sharpest memory in the family. Shoshana makes herself heard over the phone, but it's too soon for words from her. CB goes to see them in a week or so, and I'll follow the next week. Can't wait. Lots of opportunities coming up...performances at Prospect Pres., Beth El, JCC, Womans Club, Ron and Vicki's home, and a few niteclubs. If I can I want to get to Fla. for another week to visit friends and relatives in Feb or March. Meantime the Woodstock house awaits a visit. Maybe in February as we did the last 2 years on the way back from Rhinebeck or Lenox. Ahhhh...winter ....snow and ice.
Mom is fine. Busy as ever. Last night she even put out my cup of coffee. That's unusual, but very welcome. I think she was telling me "..if you stay home more at night I'll treat you better!!..." Hah!!
Well, Thursday is Boo's birthday so y'all go call her. I left her a message on Geni.
So, next time I'll leave a pix or 2. Peace in this lighter brighter world. Things do feel better. I have Obama's picture in my window. That's a 1st since JFK.
Thanks for the thoughts, prayers, messages, hugs etc. I'm a lucky dude! JIMBO

Hi, Jim. That was a fun day celebrating Carol's birthday and meeting some of your neighbors. I'm still thinking of that ice cream cake.
Love you,
Debra
