I’m home, and have been so for about an hour. Driving from UCSC can take anywhere from 40 minutes to an hour. I usually drive counter-commute, so life is good. Today it was a nice, easy drive. So I get home, heat the last slice of Jameson’s pizza (thanks, Jameson!), and check comments here.
Now I rest up for a short time. Then I teach private students here.
And THEN?!
Well, then I drive back over the hill to hear the woodwind quintet play the first and second movements of the Taffanel quintet. (We always have to choose selected movements because there are a number of chamber groups that perform. I’m hoping that eventually they’ll get their very own performance night. We’ll see.) They sounded great this morning, so I’m expecting a fun concert, even while I’ll have to work very hard at stifling this cough.
I think I coughed some things out of place … I’m feeling somewhat funny. I also think I’m experiencing what a friend of mine used to deal with; my esophagus seems to be doing some kind of spasm thing … or at least something is weird. Just in time for Symphony Silicon Valley and Strauss, wouldn’t ya know? Okay. More information that you didn’t need to know.
So now I rest. I can’t be too weary when I go back & forth over the hill. (I know, I know, I AM over the hill … sigh.)
