2007------THE GREAT!!!!

---FREEDOM! Finally got out of state on January 24th, to North Carolina for my niece's wedding. Drove four hours down, photographed the wedding, enjoyed the reception, met Daniel and family members, drove four hours home, which was four of the quickest hours in my life; it was fun!!!

---Dad turns 75 and Rachel turns 10---the same day! We celebrate in Carolina on the 25th (birthdays were the next day).

---THE MOODY BLUES!!! August 5th at Wolf Trap. What a night; even better than the 2004 show here in Richmond. They're in Baltimore in April. Maybe??

---I turned 40! Yes, I consider this positive, why not? I made it to 40; there are many who do not.

You should read the articles in "Witham News".....

....scroll down some and look on the right side, where I continually bring you news headlines, thanks to Google, on the keywords that are "the buzz" in my life right now.

The first category is always "Witham". After 40 years, I'm still fascinated by learning there are people out there who share my last name. For example, read about:

...Michelle Witham, helping Kent, Washington build a new arena for a hockey team;

...David Witham, getting a great review on his unique music style (and pictured beside someone famous!)----plus another story, featuring an audio interview with him (he's been George Benson's music director for over 20 years now!!)

...or the Witham Wharf Development in Lincolnshire, UK.....

-----------------------------------------------------------

Here's a great review from the Moody Blues' recent Toronto show, to get us pumped up for our night at Wolf Trap next Sunday......

-----------------------------------------------------------

Under "radio commercial", I see a good report...selfishly speaking, because the company I work for made $$$ in 2Q.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Finally, Jessica Biel's advice on how men can be truly "sexy", courtesy of a wire report from, of all places, Pakistan. Her picture will make the qadi there rather unhappy.


So check out the Witham Headlines; I change subjects weekly. It's just another way to help cure your insomnia here at All Things Witham. :)
