To all the ladies: Please sit down before watching this video. I assume no responsibility should you keel over from the overwhelming cuteness contained within.

Ten Years Ago Today

Tuesday, December 25th, 2007

A little bonus Christmassy goodie: Me singing off-key!

This used to be pretty common at the parents’ house around Christmas. That’s me ~~imitating a dying goose~~ singing, my brother Alan on drums, brother Charles on sax, nephew Daniel sitting on the steps, my sister-in-law Cindy on electric piano, her brother Rick on bass, and Rick’s son Andrew on guitar.

Merry Christmas

Tuesday, December 25th, 2007

You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing “Galway Bay”
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

Thank God for good ol’ common sense.

And Happy Birthday, Shane. :)
