This weekend I played in one of the conductors' ad hoc concerts, which meant rehearsal Friday night, Saturday morning, and Sunday morning, with the concert at 1 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. I realized that my lips are pretty out of shape! I had a hard time by the end on Sunday. Chuck's first ad hoc concert is this coming Sunday, so it will be the same routine this week as well, except with rehearsal on Thursday night instead of Friday. Plus, I have to worry about feeding the orchestra on Sunday!
My parents made it to Torino and it sounds like they're having a great time. They went to speed-skating today, so we'll be watching for them during primetime. In case you want to watch, they said they were sitting to the left of the big jumbo-tron screen, next to someone with a big Japanese flag. My mom was all excited because there were a lot of Italian dogs wearing doggie coats. Chuck and I watched a lot of Olympics this weekend on TV, and didn't get much done, but relaxed a lot!The Westminster Kennel Club show is on tonight and tomorrow night. We of course will be cheering again for the wire fox terriers. There's a funny article today called "If Only My Dog Were a Man!" It talks about how people admire the qualities of their pets more than their partners. The best part of the article: "Different dog breeds are also known for particular personality traits. Anyone trying to find the perfect mate by relating the type of dog they have in their lives should take note that German shepherds, Norwegian elkhounds, labrador retrievers and golden retrievers are considered to be very loyal. Boston terriers and French bulldogs have a good sense of humor. Border collies and dobermans are the athletes of the dog world. For intelligence, there’s nothing like a wire fox terrier, while bulldogs and pomeranians make perfect couch-potato companions."
