Happy February 28th!

Have you ever noticed that even though teachers slammed and crammed into our brains that this month is supposed to be pronounced "Feb-roo-eh-ree" we usually only refer to it as such on the first or second day and then we fall right back into our "Feb-you-aree" pronunciation? It was obviously not a Texan who named this month!

Well, I just got back from a swift, but exciting musical vacation to New York City! What a blast!
Thursday: NY Philharmonic, with Soprano Dawn Upshaw
Friday: Yale University presents "Marriner Conducts Mozart" (THIS DAY included the highlight of my musical career in getting to spend a few minutes one on one with who some regard as the greatest Mozart Conductor of our time, Sir Neville Marriner, and I have a picture to prove it! As soon as I can learn to post pics, you can be certain it will be seen here...
Saturday morning: Sight Seeing
Sat. afternoon: Metropolitan Opera, second row, for Saint Saens' "Samson et Dalila"
(And after enough high-brow entertainment...)
Sat. Evening: Monty Python's SPAMALOT
Sunday and Monday: More sight-seeing (2 hour outside bus tour in 22 degree weather w/5 degree wind chill, I still can't feel my legs! Empire State Building, Staten Island Ferry/Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge [which I walked], Ground Zero, St. Patrick's Cathedral)

It was quite a trip!
Missed my Meghan though...Glad to be home, miss the Cold weather!

Happy Valentine's Day...

Happy valentine's day, M! Our first date was 4 months ago tonight! And time has flown! I Love you!

Thank the good Lord, I no longer celebrate this day as "Single's Awareness Day!"
