Friday

I love Wordpress because I can write a few posts and “schedule them” to publish in the future.
So, I thought last night when I got delayed from going to my pilates class (delayed so much I couldn’t make it) that I’d set up a few things to “appear” while I’m on holy week hiatus.
Mostly pictures [...]

head down; nose to the grindstone – time to enjoy life!

Thanks for all the well wishes from yesterday. It’s humbling and heart-warming to know you’re all out there. The rehearsals went well; especially the kid choirs. The adult choir was another thing. It’s a little like they forget Holy Week is coming with all the groaning as I review, for the umpteenth time, the [...]

energy crisis

Every Wednesday about this time I wonder if I’ll make it through the next 5 hours of rehearsals. Today is really doubtful. I can barely keep my eyes open and my body upright. I want to curl up under my desk and nap. The greyness of the beautiful spring rain seeps into my bones and [...]

Charmed Life

Diana Krall
One of my favorite jazz artists singing one of my favorite songs. On a crazy Monday you need good music to get you through. And even though I don’t have anyone to sing the lyric to right now, the overall sentiment of the song is right on for me. Enjoy.

Well, that explains it

I came home from my 4:45 movie yesterday to find DS1 here, having watched a movie with some people. Not usually a problem, right? I mean, just because it’s a dad weekend, they’re in and out of the house for various pieces of equipment all the time. Part of the charm and convenience of having [...]

subconscious governor

My grandfather was a steam-fitter and could fix just about anything. As a little girl he was my hero. As a teenager he was my go-to guy when stuff wouldn’t work. I remember listening to him talk about machines and how they work and he always talked about a thing on engines called a “governor.” [...]
