so much stuff

Well, the ball was a huge success, I actually hope we do it again next year! I would like to get tix and at least eat (who knew there would be a 5-course meal from the ritzy CDA Resort???) with Jim; and make our neighbors (and maybe even some reletives?) come too. Fun fun fun.

The off to BOise, WAY too early. I was tired all weekend, but it was really fun to see old friends and meet some great new people too. My original trio guys were so familiar but just more themselves than 15 years ago, and the other players were both very good musicians. I played ok, not fab, but at least I don't think I sucked! Wish we had been able to do some more interesting music, but this "pick up" stuff was fun. The kind of thing for "any combination of instruments in any key". I guess I'll just have to go back!

My MRI report was interesting, the cartlidge is scraped and bunched up right where it hurts, so there ya go. But there is also a benign cyst inside the bone, which they said I must go to the foot specialist to discuss. So I am off to them next week. Whatever.

Jim is playing with my bells on Palm Sunday (Mar 16) and he came to rehearsal last night, it was just great! I was very proud. This Sunday a touring bell choir is coming from Boise area (wacky)to play at my church - of course I have another gig that afternoon to complicate matters, but I am excited they are coming. Trying to plan the (vegetarian!) dinner and a trip to the LaserQuest for them while I'm at Whitworth. AND since I can be at bell rehearsal next week, I'm trying to get E to conduct, throw him a bone at least since his life sucks right now, but he keeps missing rehearsal! Argh. It will all work out.

Tonight is Whitworth at St. Georges (read:FAR) then being hopefully not too late for Orchetra in CDA. Taking D and dropping him with daddy somewhere in between! Should be interesting...
