Jul. 26th, 2022 10:13 amJ has returned safely from the AP. He rode home Sunday - texting me at 12:30 "leaving Calumet now". (Whether this meant 'coming straight home', 'going to visit peeps in Houghton, home on Monday', 'getting as far as I can before I have to stop then getting home Monday', or some other variant was not clear. Turns out it did mean 'coming straight home', when he rolled in at 10pm.)
The black cat is now speaking to me, at least as much as he usually does - I have now produced J, so it is no longer my fault.
Last FCB concert of the 57th season was last night (iIuc, they are calling last summer the 56th season, even though it was only three months long -- we did do three concerts in that timeframe, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) The 57th season started with rehearsals in the parking lot, and finished with a concert in the park. There was a concert at Hill Auditorium in there, too. J did not come to the concert - I'm not sure if he knew it was a concert in the park, or thought it was an outreach gig. I still have to unload infrastructure from the car. I brought in my bag and my instrument, but left all the other stuff (chair, table, bag of marking stuff, music stands, etc) in the car. The chair and stands will remain in the car until after the LCCB concert tonight. :)
We have an appointment to rid our yard of the four cottonwood trees that came with the lot. They're messy, dropping branches all year and coating the west end of the neighborhood with 'cotton' in the spring. They're also old for cottonwoods (40-50 years) and tall (85-95 feet tall) and, being cottonwoods, are likely to come down at an inconvenient time. Only one is a danger to a structure, and that only if the wind comes from a weird direction, but there are two that would block the neighbor's driveway if they came down in a prevailing wind, and all of them could take out other trees. It will be pricey, but cheaper than having to clean up after them coming down in a storm. I will be at band camp when the tree people are here, so it will be odd when I come home.
