party in the snow

We went to a nice party last night at the home of my current boss. The centerpiece of the house is a giant room (what we call a "Great Room") containing a large pipe organ, one that a small-to-medium sized church would be proud to own. A smaller side room contains the "son of" -- a smaller mini-me organ perhaps made up of leftover or duplicate pipes. I knew there'd be a concert somewhere in there, but I didn't realize it involved singing. Someone passed out words and music to about 25 songs. Two pipe organs, a couple of French horns, a violin, and a few flutes accompanied us in an hour's worth of caroling.

I ran into an old colleague from 13 years ago, whom I introduced myself to, and an old noter from Digital who I hoped would still be so self-absorbed that she wouldn't recognize me. I was right, fortunately. A couple of co-workers showed up, as did some famous old names from Digital.

It was great fun.
