Tonight,I check in with happiness and disappointment.Yes,I do.I am feeling happy but I am also feeling disappointed.
My happiness is because I had a great night of entertaining the crowds last night at the cafe.I sang my heart out.I sang two appropriate songs for teh occasion.I sang Alan Jackson's Midnight In Montgomery,which is about Alan himself visiting the gravesite of Hank Williams Sr. in Montgomery Alabama and seeing the ghost of Hank Sr. while also paying tribute to him.The next song that I sang was Monster Mash by Bobby "Boris" Pickett and again,I was well received.It was a pretty decent night even though not too many people showed up.But the weather did play a factor.It has been cold,windy and we did have a little bit of rain on Friday night.Plus,they were also having a Halloween party and that was fun.I had a good time and everything went as hoped.I also did a couple of Sinatra songs in the middle of those two and ended singing a couple of KISS songs,which were Beth and Hard Luck Woman.
My disappoinment is that the Buffalo Sabres lost last night to the Atlanta Thrashers in a shootout by a score of 5-4.Though I am disappointed by this,I am still proud of them in that they still have the best record in the NHL with 10-1-0 and there is always next year to set a new record in the opening season.They are off until Thursday when they travel to Boston to play the Bruins.I am hoping for a victory.If that happens,that would be terrific.
Today,I managed to take a cruise and I bought a few used oldie 45's at a used record store.It was a great day and even though it was cold and a little windy,it was still great to get out and just enjoy the day.
I would appreciate any comments to what I share.Thanks.FJ

Very interesting that you found me. I am not one that deals personally with SSA, but I now have several good friends who do. One thing we all have in commmon is that we are all LDS (Mormon).
I am a Mormon Bishop, working with a student ward (a parish of single, college-age people). My wife actually started our path on this journey as we befriended a 17 year old boy who struggles with SSA.
Many of our other friends have blogs too. They are:

My wife has one too, but she doesn't like outsiders to visit.
One of our favorite books is "In Quiet Desparation." I have have the authors, all 3, and they are wonderful. Check out the book and these other blogs. These people are making progress.
