Wow, so much for one of my resolutions: I’d hoped and expected to be blogging multiple times a week, maybe daily, but definitely a lot more frequently than I have. I guess February was a pretty short month after all, eh?
So today was a cello duets make-up day: I was down visiting my parents on Tuesday, and Donna was busy with something as well, so our usual date wouldn’t work; we would usually just let it roll over to the next week, but since they’re going on vacation for the next few weeks, we thought we’d better get some playing in…
Meantime, my cello/bassoon ensemble met on Sunday, for the first time in probably two years. There were a few people missing, and a few new faces as well — I’m no longer the greenest cellist in the room. A milestone: our bassoonist Milt just celebrated his 93rd birthday! Anyway, it was a fun evening, and I felt I played well — all of us did, really.
Mud season looks like it’s coming to an end — we never really had a “snow season” this year — and Doug and I got in a pretty decent towpath ride yesterday. Spring isn’t here, but it’s just around the corner.
