Even Better than Wings


Wing hails originally from Hong Kong but moved with her family to New Zealand ten years ago.
She’s been taking singing lessons and performs in hospitals and nursing homes. And she’s got a number of albums out there. Dancing Queen is a fine example of her work. It’s a fun track.

While she probably won’t have a hit on the charts any time soon, she has generated a lot of interest on the internet, and I believe in some way has brought a little bit of joy to many people. To the world of music she is akin to what Rudy was to Notre Dame football. So, I’d say she pretty much embodies everything that’s wonderful in music–that thing that made all of us musician cats simply have to take up an instrument.

In her own words, “I have worked hard and I hope you have all found I am improving.

Thank you for all who supports me helping me very much as I go along. “

Ohhh, bless her little heart.

It was such a lovely day, I thought maybe I should get out and get some exercise. Then I stayed inside and made cartoons instead.

Happy Three Mile Island day.

Neato Toledo. The fine art of balancing rocks on other rocks. Rock rock on. On.

Last week we talked about travel in class. In pairwork, I handed out slips with prompts such as “you like cheese”, whereby the students were to discuss where one might travel to satisfy this particular interest.

Another was “You want to learn Tango”. The answer, to me at least was obvious; why don’t you travel to Argentina to see how it’s done?

Sadly, the only man who ever managed to build a working time machine prototype has left us.

Okay. Here’s how I make home-made noodles.

The Nazi turnout was pretty lame. I caught this picture of the tail end of the procession, which would be a little more than half the whole bunch. The counterdemonstration turnout was a great deal larger.
