November Reading Schedule:

Carrie-Stephen King Very interesting way to tell a story, but enjoyed it!

Karaoke Songs:
Upside Down-Diana Ross Wasn't too bad....
Rock-n-Roll Love Letter-Bay City Rollars DNH
I Don't Deserve You-Plumb DNH
Chasing Cars-Snow Patrol Slightly too low, but wasn't too bad.

*****UPDATE*******


My father passed away Nov 20th, and until further notice, 'Alphabet' karaoke is suspended.  I may attend karaoke in Lafayette, but singing favorite ones.

It is my hope that 'Alphabet' Karaoke will resume sometime in the summer, after my mother's living arrangements have been made.
