Three things make a post, probably

The music for the next FCB concert is challenging. Fast 16th note runs with many accidentals, covering the entire range (plus!) of my instrument. Another piece with different 16th note runs. Transposing bassoon parts, because the Harrison barisax players never turned their music in. The Livingston music has different challenges, mostly tempo related - I'm used to playing things faster than they take them, so my timing is off. This is especially evident in Enchanted and the Bernstein medley.
Last weekend's weather system gave us over 3 inches of rain, and then transitioned to freezing rain and then snow. The bucket-on-the-ground precipitation gauge indicated that we'd gotten over 4.5 inches of various precipitation. Then the snow on the ground melted, although the ice in the pond and on the standing puddles did not. Today, we're getting flurries with no accumulation (the snow is mostly blowing into piles at the edges of things), with (currently) 6" predicted for Friday night into Saturday. Then it will all melt as the precipitation changes to rain and temperatures get above 40F. Ji was thinking he wanted to go out until he got a snowflake on his nose.
My back is mostly better, but the damp weather is making it somewhat unhappy. I did usher last Friday evening - as late as Thursday afternoon I was thinking about calling it off, and probably would have if the weather was supposed to be anything worse than damp.
