I'm sitting on the front porch of my condo checking my email, and about 20 yards away in the amp the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is performing live. Now how can it get any better? I'll attend the concert tonight when they repeat the performance. They have an entourage of nearly 600 people which includes a full symphony orchestra along with the choir of over 300. Luckily it's a cold, dreary day. I know it can get stifling up in the choir loft with only the 150 of us on Sunday morning. There are literally thousands of people swarming the grounds today to see this group. What a spectacular start of the season.
Here's what frustrates me. . . . .at home in my storage unit, I have probably 15 light hooded sweatshirts. Actually that's not exactly accurate, because I know I gave a ton of them to the thrift shop. However. . . .do you think I made it up here with any of them??? That would be a "no." I have about 6 umbrellas. . . I did make it up here with one. . but I'd better keep track of this one!
On the other hand I live in a little place that has only the things I need on a daily basis. Everything is put away, and I can find everything I need. This is a reason why I love Chautauqua.
Went to see the movie Cedar Rapids last night. It was funny but pretty exceptionally crude in many spots. Not sure I'd ever see it again, nor recommend it, but it was good being back at the Chautauqua Cinema. . one of my favorite places. . . musty smell and all.
Our first choir practice was last night with another this afternoon. It's a little troubling for the Chautauqua Choir to follow the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. But what you gonna do? To add insult to injury, they just sang a piece on their concert that we are singing tomorrow. . . . . .Hmmmmmmm. I guess if that's the most difficult thing about today, then I'm having a pretty great life. . . .and I am.
