Our Christmas Present "MacSpeedy" Has Arrived

Richard and I decided at the end of November to invest in a new computer for the house. Funny thing is this is our third computer now. What is REALLY different for both of us techies is that this is a MAC from the Apple Corporation.

It is a very different system. It's going to take a while to figure out all of the nuances of the machine. Boy this monitor is HUGE! 24inches! The reallly neat thing is that the computer is all self-contained in the aforementioned 24inch monitor. There is no separate CPU box or anything. It's cool. All we had to do is plug in the power and it was ready to go. Wireless keyboard and wireless mouse (called the mighty mouse) and we could have used our wireless network but chose not to (ok so one more cord needed plugging in). This is a cool system.

Since we've named lots of stuff (like the Aloe Vera plant called "Spike" and our Banzai tree called "Zen") just for fun, we decided on MacSpeedy. It seems SO appropriate.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

OH MY - Both Christmas Concerts are now SOLD OUT

I just heard the wonderful news. If you still don't have your tickets, you might be able to call Janice at ROCA directly. There may be a few left.

December's Here - Singing Is Here!

The month of singing is now at hand. I'm looking forward to lots of commitments and much music in and around the Lower Mainland.

Over the weekend, I was asked about the Christmas Concert Dates for the Richmond Chorus. They are next Monday and Tuesday. The concerts are called "Hark the Herald Angels Sing".

• Monday December 11 @ 8pm at All Saints in Ladner - 4755 Arthur Drive (10$ tix)


• Tuesday December 12 @ 7.30pm at Richmond Alliance Church - 11371 No. 3 Rd (18$ tix for adults)

For more info, please contact me or check the website at http://www.roca.ca

Also, if you're interested in a truly UNIQUE Christmas music CD, the chorus has just released its first CD. Let me know if you're interested in purchasing one for 29$. They will be available for purchase at the concerts as well.

I do hope to see many of you there. The concerts should be lots of fun and a lot more on the traditional carols side of things than last year. :)
