***Random Thoughts
Brandon has a difficult time throwing away his design journals. I have a difficult time throwing away my arts journals. But libraries won’t take them. Too bad.
The boys are cleaning their rooms and putting the boxes of Legos in a stack in the family room, to be put into storage. When [...]
***Update
Good concert tonight! I actually enjoyed myself. Yay!
Oh … and an update on getting into the US: an IDRS member wrote to say his bassoon quartet has been unable to get visas. He’s from San Jose, Costa Rica.
The Bergen Woodwind Quintet
is not being allowed to come to the US for the concerts they had [...]
***Pumpkin Carving Time!
If you want to avoid the mess, but feel like carving a pumpkin or two, give that link a go!
***My Health
The good news: I’m a whole lot better today.
The bad news: I can no longer use my cold as an excuse for any oboe troubles I have at tonight’s rehearsal or the [...]

-Dorothy Day

I’m getting a cold. [...]
***Wishing
You know what I’d like to do?
Move.
It would be impossible to move right now, of course, but I still think about it sometimes.
I want a smaller yard (really I want a patio with only a patch of dirt but I’m not sure how that would go over with my better half!). I want a [...]
***Back to Dry Weather … for a time
No rain today, and it’s pretty darn sunny out there!
Unfortunately this means reed making is a pain; when weather changes it means our reeds change. They say rain will be back next week which means anything I work on this week will play differently then. Such is [...]

***A Fun Birthday Dinner!
… and can’t you tell?
***It’s Absolutely Pouring
Rain is here. And in a big time way. The gutters are overflowing and the rain is pounding on our roof. Brandon should be thrilled (he likes to get some weather).
Of course this means accidents on the roads; I went past an overturned car on [...]
