Everything else is optional.

Hi,
Today I have listened to the concert of the Phililarmonic Orchestra from Viena,
Gustavo Dudamel conductor.
Music, flowers, … a wonderful day.
Hi,
Gustavo Dudamel is a Venezuelan conductor and violonist,
Music Director of the Los Angeles Philarmonic.
He is very charming, and very young, just 35 years old.
He believes that the classic music is for all people,
even for the poors, helps the disadvantaged children.
Hi,
Tonight, I am going to see The Sound of Music on TV,
English Cafe 480.
Best wishes,
Tania

Pete, tell me:
What do you think about Christmas?
As you look so sad because all is over for me could be a good question
and even better your reply.
By my side I always want that these Christmas Feast past away as soon
as possible.
Next January 6th here in Spain it will be over too and inside I will be in
peace because usually these Christmas time make me sad.
This year even more sad as I have been absolutely alone, well not so alone
as Gatufo has been with me.
So Pete, please tell me, do you really like these Christmas Feast?
Also the other blogers, do you really like these time or not?. Don´t get you
somehow sad remembering when we were children?.
On this time I miss my mother, my father, other friends that passed away and
curiously my father, mather, mather in law and sister in law passed away in
December.
The bad news about Cuca multiple sclerosis were also in December 1999
so no, I don´t really like December or Christmas.
Evidently I am not very happy along this past month.
