Tom,

Thanks for the great idea you posted in Facebook.

Put slippers in clothes drier for 10 minutes. Put on feet.

Or maybe 5 minutes, since electric rates went from 16 cents to 21 cents per kilowatt hour this year. 

I try to minimize power used in my habitat, where Best Emails is published behind the center window!

It's up to your knees out there!

Lou's  idea is even better:

Put the slippers in a suitcase.  Fly to Aruba.  Put them on.

While further north in Canada, freezing hair is all the rage:

Here is another Canadian.  For years, Mary and I have danced to her album Quiet Nights.

  Diane Krall   (from the web.)

Full crowd for her concert in Oakdale Friday night, after a nice dinner at Goodfella's in New Haven with Caren, Bob, Melinda and Tom.

Our seats were on the side, but we could see her at the piano, (under the bright light that blurred my photos).

Of course California Dreamin' was my favorite, because it reminds me of riding our bikes up Allview Avenue to play baseball with the guys from Birch Hill Acres in the fall of '65 and summer of  '66.  The new book 1965 by A G Jackson said California Dreamin was supposed to be recorded by Barry McGuire after his # 1 song Eve of Destruction, but the Mamas and Papas pulled it back and recorded it by themselves. Eve of Destruction has Selma, Alabama in its lyrics, as we note the 50th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday.

And next month, we will hear Peter Yarrow in concert, - again with Bob and Caren.

Peter was class of '59 at Cornell, ahead of Bob.

I'm sure he will sing Bob Dylan's The Times They are a-Changing like he did in Montgomery (after Selma) 50 years ago, on March 25, 1965.

The reason we have to see this show is because every time we introduce ourselves as Peter and Mary, people ask "Where's Paul??"

Which reminds me,

How do you pronounce each:

Mc   Guire ?

Mac    Kenzie ?

Mc    Grath ?

Mc   Cartney ?

Mac   Donalds ?

Mac    Intosh ?

Mc   Cain ?

Mac  Hine ?

No it's pronounced machine. 

Should I change to Peter Blue Eyes?
