Blah. It's been a long few weeks. But the last couple days have been pretty awesome for various reasons. Regarding one of which: If you live in the SF bay area and enjoy classical music, such as, oh, say, Peter and the Wolf, you should come see the SF Youth Orchestra perform it (with Leonard Nimoy narrating) in December. I will be playing the part of the bird (aka first flute), which is very exciting. :)
Enjoy the page! I can't think of any good commentary at the moment. Except that I hope to be on schedule again for the next couple of weeks (there may be a break for my birthday weekend in November- several rehearsals, concert, and birthday, which may not even be celebrated until at least the following week). So, see you next Sunday...or Monday.
rosbief: It's done! Just had two performances today, one yesterday. They all went well. Not amazingly or perfectly, but well enough that I am pleased. :)
Stig: They're that early because it's their brother's wedding. Will is actually in the wedding party, and all three of them are there to help make sure everything runs smoothly. So it's not so much a "we don't want to be late so let's be super super early" thing as a "we're kind of helping run this so we need to be here early" thing.
And yes. Poor Winnie indeed. I don't think she's terribly unhappy about it, though.
Stevarooni: Thanks! I am, yet again, glad to be back.
