Summer Camp 2010

I volunteered at Birch Family Camp August , 2010- we were at an awesome new campground in Madison, CT. I worked with the Performing Arts Department teaching improv and helping with costumes, etc...










MMM S'mores! ....Can't wait till next year!

Would you please help out Birch Family Camp by becoming a monthly donor at: www.birchfamilycamp.org
You can also help by making a one time donation or spreading the word to friends and family.Even $5 a month would make a huge impact!

RESTREPO

You must see this documentary:

RESTREPO -

by Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington - they were "embedded" journalists and they followed one US Army platoon in Afghanistan, starting with deployment for one year
http://www.restrepothemovie.com/

I saw the film at Angelika NYC on 7/9 and a pleasant surprise
Tim Hetherington did a Q&A after the film! It was so cool to meet him…

Check out his website here:
http://www.timhetherington.com/

Also the book by Sebastian Junger (about the same platoon) is:
WAR
http://www.twelvebooks.com/books/war.asp

The film is so powerful - you will go thru every emotion with the guys...

amazing... Thank you for making this film...

Landon...Yes! dwts???

I was in the audience for the taping of "Centerstage" (YES Network) featuring Landon Donovan...

here's my blurry photo attempt in between takes...

here he is in action.....

They asked the audience to write down some questions for Landon (that never got used) - my question was "Would you ever consider being a contestant on Dancing With The Stars?"

That would be cool...

Thanks to the US ARMY

My Dad, Robert B. Aronson,
served in the US Army from 1953 – 1955
(Rank upon discharge: Sergeant).
He was a Bio Chemist and was stationed
at the General Hospital at Fort Sam Houston, TX.
While he was there he met my Mom, Edna Gray Brucks,
a civilian working at the Hospital as a lab technician.

They were married August 16, 1955.

So….if it wasn’t for the US Army, I wouldn’t be here today!

sabatoge the graduation!

My cousin Alex graduated from Canandaigua Academy on June 26, 2010 -
I tried to sabatoge the cap and gown at the last minute....
The plan didn't work, so we went to the commencement excercises at CMAC

I'm proud

Now he's ready for school in NYC!

Bad Marker

Apparently the marker was not up to standard... but the brand name is not mentioned..... :)

Update on the Bear

Update on the Bear who tried to take my day job...

http://eviechevy.blogspot.com/2010/01/this-bear-tried-to-take-my-day-job.html

he is now Bearing Down on me....

or maybe was trying to get a better look at the Crime Scene on My Desk:
http://eviechevy.blogspot.com/2010/01/csi-mydesk.html

C.S.I. MYDESK

I was out of the office of my day job on Tuesday - when I walked into the office on Wednesday morning I walked right into the site of a Crime Scene...


Close up from east angle...Mouse was apparently the only witness, but later fled the scene. Notice: doors of taxi are open....

Victim was attempting to hit "enter" on keyboard for help.

Victim before the accident - anonymous stress-muscle man (that's like a stress ball, but it's a muscle man instead)

N.Y.C. Flower Taxi medallion 3LNY

(but on the side door it's 8J38A) prior to accident.

The crime scene has been cleared up, and the stress-muscle man is again available for use.

If anyone has any information about the events leading up to this crime scene, please call 1-555-CSIMYDESK .

You do not have to leave your name.

I have changed my outgoing voice message to:

"Hi - You have reached the voicemail of.....someone who has NOT been having an affair with Tiger Woods, but just in case this is his wife calling random numbers from his cell phone, and my number happened to be in there, I have removed my name from this outgoing voice message so I cannot be identified per an "anonymous" tip from a "friend"....Please leave a message at the tone, unless this is Tiger's wife, because I'm scared. Thanks!"

WQXR - The Gratitude Project: Music We’re Grateful For

WQXR - The Gratitude Project: Music We’re Grateful For

The Gratitude Project: Music We’re Grateful For

This Thanksgiving, there's much to be grateful for: family, friends, and even in-laws. There's also music. As we prepare for another Thanksgiving holiday, WQXR reflects on Music We’re Grateful For.

Here's how you can participate: Leave a voice message on our spinvox line at 1-800-543-2543 or email your selections to gratitude@wqxr.org.

Explain why you're grateful for a particular piece of music. Did a Mendelssohn quartet make your wedding complete? Did a Bach partita help you cope with the loss of a loved one? Has Mahler been with you through an interminable air travel delay?

Tell us your story. Give us the full name of the piece, your first name and your neighborhood or city.

We’ll play your choices--and air your voices--all Thanksgiving Weekend.
So call us, write us, and tune in!
Our hosts offer their selections:

Terrance McKnight:
A Flowering Tree is John Adams' latest opera. The story and the music acknowledge and celebrate our multicultural society and our common frailties and humanity. Because of that, future generations will continue to appreciate and identify with the art form. For that I'm grateful.
Midge Woolsey:
Imagine a world full of pianos with no one able to play them! I’m grateful for talented pianists and Vladimir Horowitz was one of my favorites. His performance of Schumann’s Traumerei makes my heart ache with joy.
Elliott Forrest:
I am grateful for Mark O’Connor’s Appalachia Waltz. I was moved the first time heard it, was moved when I heard it played by a group of young amateur musicians and moved again when it was used as underscoring in the recent Ken Burns series about National Parks. It is a timeless piece of Americana.
