I'm taking a lecture vacation this week. The theme is The Economy. . . . and I'm reading the synopsis of each lecture in the paper the next day. I think the speakers this week are good. . . .but I just can't absorb anything else, and I'm a little Economy-ied out. Such a tough subject.
It's hump day of week 7 . . . only 2 1/2 weeks to go. And I'm being wooed back home little by little.
I received my second email today from good old trainer George (if you can characterize age 34 as being old). How many trainers write chatty emails to their clients? Mine does. It will be fun to get back to working out with the gang at 5-Star Health and Fitness again and to see how much his adorable little daughter Anisten has grown.
And then there was the phone message today from none other than Norman Scribner. . . .artistic director of the Choral Arts Society. He wanted to personally invite me to participate in the mass choir being put together to sing for the opening of the Martin Luther King Memorial in Washington, D.C. Oh I would love to do that. But alas, the ceremony is Sunday, August 28 when we will be doing our final services here. And even if I was to be able to leave early to sing the performance, the rehearsals start immediately. Another tough decision. Although in the grand scheme of things. . . what delicious, amazing choices I have. I am so grateful for all of them. But hearing from Norman personally (well, at least on the message machine) was enough for me to begin to salivate at the thought of rehearsing with Choral Arts again for what will likely be my last year (and his!).
So I'm still blissfully happy up here. Especially with today's weather. . . .a very cool, breezy, and mostly sunny day. I'm taking a jacket to the movies tonight! But little by little my brain is getting ready for the transition. Life is good indeed.
