As I'm sure most of you know, I was a singing virtuoso in my younger years. I think I hit my prime in Grade One with my stunning rendition of "Bah, Bah Black Sheep in E minor" at the school talent show. So, it should come as no surprise to you all that I have joined the Alert Choir............yeah, right.
Let's just say, since Byron went to the Olympic Torch Relay planning meeting and was volun-told that he would be in the choir, he thought that it would only be fair to volunteer me as well. We've had one practice last night, and all I can say is that the Commanding Officer of CFS Alert himself said, "You guys are better than nothing." I'm thinking of translating it into Latin (Nos Es Melior Quam Nusquam) and getting it put on T-shirts for the choir to wear :) In all seriousness though, we have to sing a song that is the official torch relay song to be sung at every stop the torch makes. We aren't that bad, in as much as no large-ish group of singers can sound truly horrible. If we can manage to learn the french portion next week, I give us at LEAST a 50/50 chance of not making fools of ourselves come showtime.
Well, my picture for the photo contest didn't win any prizes, but I'll put it up here to show you all anyways. Click it to view it at a larger size. I really liked it, but I guess the judges didn't :) There were dozens of amazing entries, many of which put mine to shame...there are some phenomenal photographers up here. The landscape really lends itself well to pictures too....at least when the sun's up!
In other news, I am putting out an All Points Bulletin for a grey wig that looks something like the picture below (~2-3" long, straight), or at least longer and can be cut down to the right style. This is URGENT and would need to be sent up early next week at the latest. So, if you have one that you want to donate, or can obtain one, please e-mail, comment or send a carrier pigeon (in a little parka), but let me know and I'll get you mailing details. This costume could win me top prize hands down if it all comes together!
Happy Oktoberfest everyone!
