::waves:: Hiya! I'm here from projectdownload -- thought it would be rather rude and not exactly in the spirit of things to drop in and leave with nary a comment. ^__^

Love the music selection! And are those baked apples I smell?

(sniffs the air) I think you're right about the baked apples. The gluwein's good, too, for warming up frozen fingers.

Happy New Year, and thanks for coming by!

I'd like Erin to see this when she feels well enough, by the way :) And I offer a toast to her mystery angel :) *huge smiles*

And yes, scrumptious baked apples coming right up!

Well, we all wish you the best with that. I know you probably hear this all the time and I don't mean to bug you if you're tired of it - but at least you didn't settle down too early when you weren't ready and you got a chance to live your dreams first.

ONE thing???
er.....
climb a mountain high enough to see the clouds from above, again.
finish the novel
hug my husband (repeat as required)
make someone happy (ditto)
learn to draw
do enough harp practice that I can actually play the thing instead of fumbling at it.
learn - everything there is to learn!
meet more people to learn from (that would be the complete globe-full)
watch the sun rise over the sea
have another Laphroaig

Welcome! Thanks for dropping by, and thanks for Auld Lang Syne! I also very much love that song and the nostalgia it brings up.

I also love the Strausses' music and it would be wonderful to see the event you mentioned live in Austria! I'd love to come with you if you go someday :) My mother actually gave a presentation on Richard Strauss in college and how his music tied in with the mood and spirit of the era in which he composed.

How's your writing? I would love to check out a chapter or two of your novel! I just finished a third draft of Winter Sunrises, but know I still have major work to do with the piece.

Yes, the Salute to Vienna is an interesting show ( ... )

The concert sounds simply amazing! I've been a classical music lover for many years.

I'd love to hear more about your travels! Where did you go? Care to share any highlights (if that's not too much trouble, no pressure?)

Thanks for your comments on Winter Sunrises - Faye Miranda is actually an old acquaintance of Stefan and Lysandra's from a childhood trip to San Francisco. She and her mother were traveling street people who drew their photographs for extra cash and Faye was an impetuous little child regaling them both with stories. Was novelistic coincidence that they met again after twenty-two years...but I think Stefan would have acted that way towards any prostitute he saw. He's really more of a reserved intellectual type, kind of shy in certain aspects - and has a prideful streak but also tenderness towards people who remind him of his own difficult childhood (or Lysandra's.)
