So first of all, my friends and I are getting together to perform at my church's Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, and we decided that our little makeshift group needed to form as a band, if just for that one night. So FASGE (Florence, Albert, Sarah, Grace, Eric) will make its debut appearance on December 24 at CTS. Picture "Away in a Manger" with me ( Read more... )

He is pretty sore, but doing fine, and he should be home on Thursday. Johns Hopkins is a very nice place, and I was comfortable there. So all is good ( Read more... )
