sheesh

weather whiplash, anyone? We avoided the snow portion of the last weather system, but we still got wild temperature swings. 70F coming home from the FCB concert on Sunday evening, 13F when I went out to feed the birds on Tuesday morning. And wind! the power was out when we got home from the concert, and there's many more branches down. I may go out and pick them up today, but tomorrow looks to be better weather for that -- it's still breezy and damp today. The deck box got blown out of its corner last week, and then Monday it got blown over by a particularly strong gust of wind. The corner has separated, and I'll have to go out tomorrow and see if it's broken or if it just came apart.

J has been spending a lot of time in A2, putting new floors in a friend's new condo. (he works cheap, and he's out of big projects around the house.)

The FCB concert on Sunday went really well. It was Video Game music, and JL put together a video stream to go with the music. Set up and tear down went pretty well, considering that we had to clear the stage after the stage rehearsal on Friday. We did not have to clear it after the concert, although they did ask us to put the percussion away. Monday we started working on music for the May concert. (One piece from earlier in the season, one piece from the Video Game concert, a few brand new pieces, a couple that we've not done for a while, and a Cello sonata. "Something for everyone" says the Maestro.)
