Back to Work

I've had several lovely weeks off from work, but Fall is officially here so it's time to "go back to school" !!

My first concert back was a TOSOM show and it was a blast.  The band is really starting to jell.  We have our showcase on the 22nd of October so that is a good thing.

In a few days I head to DC to sing with Marvin and the Orchestra.  Marvin wanted to celebrate the music of Judy Garland.  I'm flattered he asked me to be part of the evening.  I will be singing 20 minutes in the first half and 40 minutes in the second half.  This will be a three night event and then we have a five nighter in Pitsburgh!  Haven't done that in a while. It will be fun to hear these arrangements with a full orchestra again.  That's how most of them were conceived.

I have become a soccer mom again.  Jake is back at it.  I'm shamefully competetive so I have to stifle my remarks on the sidelines and try to keep telling myself  "it's just a game with 4th graders...it's just a game with 4th grader...it's  ...."   It doesn't really work.  :)

I'm grateful for the responses that I am getting on finding a home for Shadow.  It's so hard to let a horse go when you are not sure where he will end up.  So thank you.

Right now there are not enough hours in the day to get the things done that I want to get done before winter.  I am gone so much of October.  I hate that part of my life.  I wish I could just do "the blink" and magically apear on stage at show time and then blink back home to Jake and Apple Tree Farm.

Someone has to be here to let the meter man in.  He's afraid of my three shepherds.  Imagine that!
