December 31 - Looking Ahead and Back

Well, this pretty much wraps it up for the year, the saga continuing hopefully soon at https://markalburger2023.blogspot.com/


Meanwhile we Zoom with the family east to


take in

the New York


Festivities

witnessing from California


the near calindric future.


Soon after


we open up additional


Christmas gifts


including those contained in the cards that are complete vocal scores of


The Nativity According to St. Matthew, Op. 72 (1998).


Later, Harriet and I take in the Mountain Time Happy New Year of a potato


explosion, as we look forward to our own next year,


on this 52nd day of Fallish temperatures,



high down 4 to 59,


with news of more ominous weather ahead...

Also make the jump to Xfinity from ATT for a far more reliable internet experience, in an atmosphere of


a documentary on Broadway recommended by our friend and benefactor Tony Tanke,


Gustav Mahler (1860-1911)
     Symphony No. 8 ("Of a Thousand") (1906)


solemn news of the death of Pope Benedict XVI (1927-2022), and New Year's hilarity from


Anderson Cooper (b. 1967), Andy Cohen (b. 1968), and


Seth Meyers (b. 1973)!...
