In Play
I find myself wondering what the heck I should write about today! It’s not that it was a boring weekend, or that I have a boring week ahead of me.
Not in the least. Rather, I think it’s that there’s so much in play that I don’t know where to start.
Saturday started with coffee with The Professor. A first date/meeting that went well enough to agree at the end that we should do something again. I of course have learned to take comments like that with a block of salt.
Later in the afternoon I went with SaxMan over to some golf shop in Minnetonka where I picked out club head and grips. (SaxMan has offered to make a beginning set of clubs for me.) After the shopping spree, we had a beer together before I had to go home to get ready for the Vocal Forum concert and he headed off for an event that he was volunteering at. I did get to see him in his tux, though. (He changed at the restaurant…had been kilting…)
Yeah. I kind of like the kilt, but I’m a real sucker for a man in a tuxedo.
The boys went with me to the concert. It was very well sung (I’d not heard the group before) but the funniest part was watching the boys trying to be sure that I knew how lame it was that I brought them and thought that the humor concert was, in fact, funny.
I played in the orchestra for the PDQ Bach piece “The Seasonings.” It went well. The crowd was good and they laughed and enjoyed themselves. So that’s good.
The choir sang beautifully Sunday morning. Both choirs at both services. The senior choir sang “Christus Paradox” which has a powerful text and is very well written. The morning will get marked down though because someone started applauding after we were done. Turns out it was started by Roy H. who is a cantankerous hardline theologian from the seminary. I just don’t get that…
Went to GolfPro’s studio and practiced my chip shots for a couple hours while the boys were at friends’ houses watching football. Then I went home for a little nap before the concert.
The Professor did call with an idea for a date next Sunday evening. So, that was a nice surprise.
This morning, I’m procrastinating getting going on LN’s projects, but need to get going now.

Well, hopefully the block of salt has now turned into a rock. I hope that you are having some fun. Sounds like it. All work and no play, can’t be having that.
