I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn't resolve. But I was outside the Bagdad Theatre in Portland one night when I saw a man playing the saxophone. I stood there for fifteen minutes, and he never opened his eyes. After that I liked jazz music. Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself.

Happy, happy Christmas, Katie! It looks like a lovely day there in Kiwi Land.

Looks like a wonderful Christmas in the Sunny Bay.
It's pretty sunny here today. We're between Christmas celebrations. Mark is asleep on the couch, Mer is upstairs getting pretty, Owen on his new game, Jesse trying out the new pedal for his guitar. Going to Grandma's and Papa's in a bit. Enjoy your Boxing Day!
Merry Christmas, sunny girl! We've sun here too but no going around in sundresses.
I love Danny's tee. Where'd he get it? I'm doing a flying road trip to Aucks over New Years, I'm sure I can fit in some shopping!
And those gorgeous peeps swinging like monkeys. Lovely. I think that was the sunniest Christmas day in years.
Denver just came out rubbing her hands in glee..."It's the Boxing Day sales!" She has her eye on a little purple something.... ;)
Beautiful! Merry Christmas!
