My D22 has an internship at an LA culture and fashion magazine and I never tire of reading her published articles. She’s been interviewing bands, authors, artists, designers… and loving every minute of it. Seeing your kid living her dream is something else! Proud mama!

DIL accepted a position today in her new field (public health) after graduating from U-MD in May. While our son was intensely debating whether to stay in or leave the Army (he’s leaving), she was left in job-hunting limbo. Once he made his decision, she started searching in earnest and announced today that she made it through three interviews and starts work next week with an organization that was near the top of her list. They will have a very merry Christmas, and we’re so proud of her (well, both of them).

Actor D (who hasn’t auditioned much for tv) got a part in an episode of Law and Order (original series). She’s the victim—she thinks the episode will air in January.

I’ll be attending the France v Norway World Cup match at “Boston Stadium.” I purchased 8 hospitality packages for $18,080. LOL!

Congrats.
My husband and I love soccer. He took me to a couple of matches for the 1994 World Cup at Foxboro stadium at the time. I thought we could take our child to this World Cup. That hope has been dashed once we have realized how expensive and difficult to get any tix.

Circling back. DS bought his new black suit, and a separate different jacket. He actually went to a Greek tailor who is in his neighborhood. He has already worn the new suit, and says it’s really nice to have a suit that fits him so well. It was pricey, but he says…well worth it.

My DS is asking for a black tux jacket WITH TAILS for Christmas. He needs one for upcoming performances.
Anyone have ideas as to where/how to find?
I thought trying to find a purple stuffed Pegasus for my 6 year old daughter decades ago and before online ordering was challenging.
My brothers, dad and BIL bought some nice tuxes at good prices from a rental place. Might that be an option? I’m sure they have them with and w/o tails.
I believe the price was maybe 25% of a new tux. Also the band director might have suggestions of where apparel can be purchased at reasonable prices.

Believe it or not…DSs tails came from Goodwill. A designer name that actually fit him very well. I think it was $25.
But yes, check the tux rental places. They sometimes sell their things.

We’re a soccer family. Both of our sons played, one in college. I’m going for business purposes with the tickets I purchased. I’m trying to figure out how to take the family personally. You can currently enter FIFA’s next public drawing lottery, but the cheapest tickets are $300+ and you aren’t even guaranteed to sit together!

I know because we have followed the news esp about getting tix. When fans complained about tickets this year, FIFA just stated that demands have surpassed the supplies. Lots of soccer fans are priced out.
SIL2 interviewed for a job on Tuesday and was offered the position today.
Full time inpatient acute care/ICU neuro rehab. It’s exactly the job he wanted.
