SEASONAL
If James Woolcott can blog his colonoscopy (much less offensive a posting than his slightly later one yesterday in praise of George Galloway), UD can blog her participation, earlier this evening, in her town's Christmas singalong. UD is a member of the town chorus, which puts on not only this popular event, but a "musicale" (like "kerfuffle," "musicale" is a word UD dislikes, though she's unsure why) in the spring. Despite the fact that she is Jewish, UD has always found most Jewish music embarrassingly bad, and Christian music (a lot of it, anyway), spectacularly good. She loves singing the great hymns, Bach oratorios, Handel's Messiah, etc. Everyone on stage had obeyed instructions and worn bright red or green skirts and tops. But UD, owning no bright clothing, could only add a drab olive scarf to her black turtleneck to convey the season. She made up for this in enthusiasm. |
