"Leo will know what to do"
As I sit here at work with my coffee catching up on the news from the weekend, I read that John Spencer from The West Wing passed away on Friday, December 16th, 2005 after a heart attack. The West Wing is and has been one of my favorite shows for years. I borrowed the quote "Leo knows what to do" from my brothers blog. Dave's right, what will happen in the show now? I guess we'll just have to see. Rest in peace, John.
Saturday night was Band Together's Annual Holiday Concert. I was very pleased with the turnout. Given that it is the holiday season, and I know everyone had at least one party to attend that night, our attendance was almost 600! BT is only 9 years strong, and I can remember when we had 24 members and our concerts were in the cafeteria/rec room at MCC. Now we have over 80 members and have quite a large following. Our concerts are held in a beautiful hall that was once a synagogue. It feels good to be a part of this organization. Last week we had our Board elections and I'll be serving next year for the first time.
I wasn't feeling that well after the concert, but my roommate and I decided to make an appearance at a party and out to meet my band friends. I have some great pics from that night in my flickr, but here's a few as a teaser. Click on the pic or on the box to the right to see them all.
Gotta love my double chin and sickly lookin eyes but its cute nonetheless..
Me and my horn buddy Mary
Thomas, Steve and Kurt at The Festivus for the Rest of Us
Sunday after bowling I was headed home and got a call to see Brokeback Mountain. I really enjoyed the movie, and highly recommend you see it. I went with friends that had not read the story so it was nice to see their reactions, and that they were similar to what I felt when I read it here at work so many months ago. I can't seem to find the link to the full short story right now, so I'll post it later on if I come across it.
Tonight is BT's Holiday Dinner at Ameristar. I know, its odd to have it at a casino but their buffet is full of variety and we have a private room.
That's all for now, have a great week!

I wish my company was cool enough to have a holiday party at a casino. Ours was in a bridge over TGI Fridays with skunky Budweisers, but they did have tiramisu.
