same ol' same ol', for the most part.
Nov. 15th, 2023 04:45 pmRehearsals two days a week. Both going reasonably well, but I think DC at Farmington is feeling a bit like he's over-extended us. He was pushing a bit harder in rehearsal than he usually does. To be fair, it's (almost) all new music that neither he nor us has seen before, and some of it is in a vernacular that we're not used to (not many of us have played at HBCUs, f'rex). (the one piece we've seen before is Sleigh Ride.) Livingston would be better if it wasn't the day after Farmington. And if my tenor would actually play a BFlat that was somewhere close to the note. I need to go in early next week and figure it out, or remember that I need to do that sometime when J isn't home and I don't have other things to do
Church peeps really wanting me to do more -- "committee meeting Monday evening" "nope"
"Pastor can't make Monday, how's Tuesday" "nope"
"can you do this thing after rehearsal on Monday sometime in the next couple of weeks" "nope. I have to be in the NW 'burbs at 1830. Must leave no later than 1715, what with construction/traffic."
"can you do this thing after service on this day?" "nope. set-up call is 13:15 so I need to be on the road by 12:15"
We wandered off to WindyCon last weekend. It was fine. Saw many people whom I don't see often enough; did a lot of stairs as the elevators were, um, suboptimal. Unfortunately, one of the things that annoys my hip is (all together now) Stairs. whee.... There were at least some decent chairs in the GT suite, so the "weekend of least bad chairs" aspect of the con went pretty well.
Warm this week (through tomorrow). I should probably go out tomorrow and cut back things, but I have errands to run in A2. I should probably run them in the AM, and then do yardwork in the afternoon.
The grey floofball caught the attention of one of the adult sandhill cranes this afternoon, and got herself wing-spread and fluffed at. She was appropriately cowed by this, and went and hid under the evergreens on the other side of the pond until the cranes wandered off. At which point she trotted toward the house and pawed at the door....
