Letter-writing makes for good, old-fashioned fun
I’m a sucker for the handwritten letter. For me, there’s nearly nothing better than walking to the mailbox in front of my house, pulling open the little metal door, and finding an envelope with my name scrawled across it.
Saints Sing that Superbowl
Okay, so the moment when Porter intercepted that ball — that was sheer gorgeousness. I got confused thinking that the person throwing the ball was on the Saints team (I always get confused.

Was that NOT the most beautiful thing!?

Da! как смешно! (Yes, what fun! — at least I hope that’s what it means!)
So, last week, I went to see the Moscow State Radio Symphony Orchestra at the Van Wezel in Sarasota. The tickets were fabulous — Row Six — so kind of front and center and the crowd was overflowing with lots of Russian conversation. Oh, and the symphony wasn’t half bad either.
Radio fun!
