Sexta-feira foi dia de ir ao cinema, e não de rockear. Algo mais light pra semana punk que está por vir. heh
When my parents' pond freezes over, I know that winter has begun in earnest. There may still be one or two warm days coming, but for the most part this is the changing of the seasons.
I still believe that I could find some ring-like stuff instead of a real ring to do my book shot. However, after searching around the house, I found nothing. I therefore decided to do an easy shot that just simply combines a book and a pair of glasses. In the beginning I used an English learning magazine with the glasses but it looks plain so I had a textbook on the top and the setting seems alright. Snap... Snap... done!!
Today in Traverse City, MI I caught on my phone 52* which I bet is a record high for the area.

SYNOPSIS: Gregory Crossman believed there was a purpose in going to Vietnam.
After graduating from Western Michigan University, he entered the Air Force,
and subsequently received pilot training and his wings.
Crossman began a distinguished flying career. In January 1968, he was cited
for "superior airmanship and devotion to duty" for knocking out a supply
route and destroying a truck convoy near North Vietnam's Mu Gia Pass without
benefit of flares or moonlight.
In February, 1968, Crossman was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for
what the Air Force called one of the most important air strikes in a
high-risk area of North Vietnam.
On April 25, 1968 the plane on which he was "back seater" to Col. Albert
Mitchell when the two departed Ubon Airbase in Thailand on a daring radar
raid over one of the most active surface to air missile (SAM) sites in North
Vietnam, dodging heavy anti-aircraft fire as they partially knocked out a
Soviet fighter plane base along the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
The aircraft disappeared without a trace when it broke formation to veer
over a truck convoy heading for the key North Vietnamese supply route.
Although there is strong indication that the Vietnamese know what happened
to Mitchell and Crossman, they deny knowledge of their fates. The last known
location of the aircraft was about 5 miles northwest of the city of Dong Ha
in Quang Binh Province, North Vietnam.
I still pray for him every time I open my jewelry box and see this.

Day 174 of 365.
My sister-in-law gave us tickets to the holiday concert by the New Century Chamber Orchestra.
The New Century Chamber Orchestra is also known for being a conductor less ensemble. From their website: "Musical decisions are made collaboratively by the 19-member string ensemble, resulting in an enhanced level of commitment on the part of the musicians to concerts of remarkable precision, passion and power."
This is the orchestral equivalent of a holocracy.
It was a beautiful concert with performances by the San Francisco Girls Chorus and David Krakauer playing the clarinet.
Thanks Leni.
