Hunter was here yesterday. He is such a sweetie. I followed him around. He got to do whatever he wanted to do (without eating kitchen chemicals). We had fun. I bought him a little truck, but he also came equipped with some of his favorite toys (including his first computer from Uncle Juniper). He enjoyed rearranging the items on my shelves and front window seat. We avoided chewing on things made in China ;-)
Headed to a road meeting this morning (they will want money)--and it is Jan's birthday (she doesn't celebrate.) Then headed immediately to my Dad's. He has not been happy of late. I think his living situation is not panning out like he would like. He is learning to say no--and trying to make it stick.
School week will be hectic. I have meetings Monday, then Tuesday Concerto Auditions (about 3+ hours) Wednesday is Staff Meeting, Thursday Parent Conferences (4 hours) and THEN 3+ hours of Concerto Audition Callbacks. I think Friday is "free" to "just" teach. I lecture on Friday--Second Chants 1100--1400. This isn't my favorite lecture. This is the time in music where the monks added different polyphonic lines to their music--sometimes it sounded okay (use of a drone, moving in parallel fifths and fourths) and other times it just sounds irritating. The lecture is full of dates and names. Notre Dame in Paris figures heavily in the lecture as that is where they still had a lot of records of what was happening.
Do catch the video on nytimes about Maya Lin--very interesting!
Also, doesn't the world just feel like a better place, economy and all! due to OUR electing Obama to lead us. I am very very aware that he can't do everything--but WE have to do our part. We have to keep him safe, and keep in there and work. We can indeed do it!
Later Gators!!!
