Blog remiss

Ah! Life has such a way of intervening in the routine of a daily blog.

Friday: Student symphony sectional rehearsal. I must practice the Beethoven more, I must, I must. I actually did not play very well but had a fine time anyway. I was simply exhausted from a long week of hard work.

Saturday: Community band in the morning - sight reading! I love the opportunity to do it but I want to be better at it. And the only way to get better at it is to do it! I am so lucky to have the opportunity to do this. I cannot believe how lucky I am.

I had Jim & Salty over for dinner Saturdy night, a lovely dinner and evening. Juneau is so fortunate to have them in our midst. BUT, before they arrived, I squeaked in a little time on the Beethoven, 2nd page, and that was very good practice.

Among all my other commitments, here's my commitment to myself and to Rick & the student symphony: I will work some on the Beethoven every single day until our concert.

Now, off to study. Today's a full day, too. I have a tricky assignment to do this morning for my class, and then my brother Jim and I are going out to Herb's to do some historical digging (he's got treasure troves of pictures and memorabilia and memories, that Jim is just longing to tap). So, I probably won't get in two practices today unless the stars align somehow, but tonight you can bet I'll work on that Beethoven. :)
