I have just learned that I have comments! Sorry to anyone who thought I was ignoring them – I just don’t know how to blog, apparently. Will do better in future.
This weekend’s exciting concert is on the South Bend Symphony’s Chamber Series, at DeBartolo Performing Arts Center at Notre Dame. I actually am very excited to play it – we’ll be featuring our Principal Horn, Aaron Brant, in the first Horn Concerto of Richard Strauss. He’s a wonderful musician, and it is always so inspiring for me to hear my colleagues play, so I can hardly wait for our first rehearsal. Look HERE for info – student tickets are always only $5!
Meanwhile, though, I’m sitting in Panera waiting for a rehearsal for tomorrow morning’s educational concerts in Northwest Indiana. I taught for two and a half hours this afternoon and didn’t have time to go home, so with my unprecedented three unstructured baby-less hours I – well – I ran all of the annoying errands that I’d been putting off because they’re even more annoying with a baby. Have I mentioned how much I love her? What I don’t love, though, is the car seat, with its fussy five-point restraint system, all five of which points have to be undone and redone at every stop while I crouch in the back seat of the Beetle and try not to wake her up or piss her off. So although I haven’t practiced worth a darn today, I do have contact lens solution and Worcestershire sauce which I can now cross off my list. Such is my glamorous life.
