All of my family's gravesites are back in Illinois, but that does not mean I miss them any less.

In fact my gravesite is there also, close to my grandparents. I really miss my Grandma & Grandpa Slater. Even after all these years.

Sounds nice.

Some pics of the various apartments at my college... Terrace might not be the most attractive, but on the inside is where it counts the most...  :popcorn:

I think it looks stately.  I like the older buildings.  The rooms are usually larger.

They should consider a new name, since names are everything in the apartment biz.  I know a dump that was named The Avenue Apartments.  They painted the outside, slapped down some paving stones, and changed the name to The Mission At Stoneleigh Place.  Even the rednecks that live there started dressing better.

The rooms in UT are definitely larger, though not as large as UC...still, I like the layout of the apartments much more than any of the others.  The room I'm in now is probably about half the size of some CC'ers closets, I'm sure.  :lmao:


They probably should... since our school mascot is the pirate (hence, Compass Point), we need to go after more nautical-themed names.  I think they plan to build another set of apartments, so we'll see what name they'll get.

Hanging around the house.  Cleaned up inside and did laundry yesterday, yardwork today, and will be at the Legion tomorrow.  When they do construction on a two-lane road that a million flatlanders use to try to get to Laconia, Conway, and Lake Winni, trying to get anywhere this weekend is a chore to say the least.

Not much.  However, momentarily I'll be singing at 11 AM Mass.  We're doing my favorite piece of music (and a lot of other choir members, too) as the prelude to Mass--Peter Wilhousky's version of The Battle Hymn of the Republic.  We have two choirs in my church, actually; a "Contemporary Choir" that uses an electric bass, an occasional acoustic guitar, drums, etc., in addition to a piano for accompaniment; and an "Adult Choir" that uses either a pipe organ or a piano for accompaniment.  Today, the two are combined.  Being a tenor, my section is heavy in the BHOTR.  But, in the Wilhousky version (also sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir), there's two tenor voices in the third verse.  I volunteered to sing the Tenor 2 part--the lower part.  I've never done it (I have practiced it, but never done it at Mass).  This should be interesting.  I'd post the vid of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir doing it, but it's been removed from YouTube.

To continue this, we absolutely nailed it.  In my year-and-a-half in the choir, of the four times we've done BHOTR during a Mass (a funeral, Flag Day last year, Vets' Day last year, and today) and the ten or so times we've practiced it in rehearsals, we've not done it this good.  The congregation gave us a standing ovation afterward.  I did a fist pump afterwards, in front of the congregation--I knew we had crushed it.
