After a long walk, we arrive at the water's edge.

Early in the evening.

Sing.

Today, I went to the headquarters of Short Stuff, aka, an elementary school.  Singing Son asked me to accompany his Honor Choir at the holiday assembly.  

The whole event was the kind of thing that could cheer a person up immensely, even on a morning when a massive winter storm was a-brewin'.  Here are some of the reasons:

• The kids, of all ages, are pretty cute when they sing, even the ones that think singing isn't cool.
• A mix of holiday and world and popular music.
• One of the best set of actions to go with "The Twelve Days of Christmas" that I have ever seen.
• The principal wore both a Santa hat and a red Hawaiian shirt.
• Way fun to see Singing Son in action:

Own costume: raven tee shirt, scary earrings.
Amount of candy left over: ooooh, a lot, and a very good class of candy it is.
