INTRODUCTION
Today's bumper music is the traditional Advent hymn, O Come, O Come, Emmanuel. The lyrics for this hymn come from the "O Antiphons," an early Latin hymn.Here is our Advent wreath, and in the center is the candelabra that we use to observe the O Antiphons for seven nights, beginning December 17th.

Here is me with my wonderful son Teddy after the University of Michigan Men's Glee Club Fall Concert at Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He sings bass.

Thanks, Pat. It always surprises me how short the podcast is when I THINK I have so much to share! I need to figure out what I can talk about that wouldn't bore you all to death! Do you want to hear more about my life? It's not all that exciting, to be honest! LOL! Also, I'm still working on improving my recording quality. I have the latest and greatest in software and equipment, but I'm not an expert -- so it's trial and error!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment.

ReplyDeleteI have always thought of Alice in Wonderland as a mathematical tale rather than a "druggie tale". Looking up wikipedia there is a section on symbolism in Alice in Wonderland and there are like 7 things that it lists under mathematical symbolism!
I think I've made Oka Mocha before without the whipped cream. Or is it considered Oka Mocha without it.
I loved hearing about your family's traditions during this season as well! Maybe someday if I actually carve the eraser I bought, I'll take a picture and send it to you (or you can set up a flickr group maybe). And thanks for the shout out on your podcast!

Hi, Darla! Yes, Alice in Wonderland is most definitely a mathematical puzzle. Dodgson (Carroll) was a mathematician at Oxford University, and was fond of creating mathematical and word puzzles. Martin Gardner has taken up where Carroll/Dodgson left off, and has written many books about Alice in Wonderland and associated puzzles.
ReplyDeleteBecause coffee and chocolate and peppermint go so well together, I assume there are probably LOTS of beverages like Oka Moka. But I made mine without looking at anyone else's, so it's "original"!
Please do carve your eraser and send in a photo. I now know what my reward will be -- and it's nice! (in my opinion, anyway!)
I just created a MirkwoodDesigns Flickr group. Maybe I'll add some photos to get things rolling. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hi Ruthann, Thanks for another great podcast! I printed out three things that I want to try. Love hearing the family traditions - good for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info on Scientic Quilter. I am glad she decided to do a podcast. I just subscribed, can't wait to listen. Keep up the good work! Tami
