Right now I am watching the neighbors' young daughter draw on their newly painted walls. They have recently fixed the front room of their house, leveling out windows and the like. The older houses in the neighborhood have some interesting quirks. They also tore down the wall between the front sunroom and the living room to create one large space. It is lovely. Nice new paint...new windows and siding...and now a new black line drawn from one end of the room to another.
She is an adorable little girl. I hope her parents remember this when they discover the recent "artistic expression."
I can see a lot from this window.

Trish and I got a lot of packing done yesterday, but there is much more to do. Oy. Vey.
I begin my tenure at Wilmette on Thursday.
The jitters are setting in.
Excitement and nerves...just what the Holy Spirit ordered.
I will pray for your nerves if you pray for mine.. I get to be nervous a day ahead of you.
The first rehearsal for mine and sOo's polytonal trio piece meets tomorrow evening. It's part improvisational and also I haven't heard sOo's part yet.
sOo is a composer from Seoul, Korea. We have been collaborating over the phone and via email!
Two of the musicians I am working with are new - the cellist and the clarinetist. The pianist I have worked with several times.
I am excited but jittery also.
So we got a prayer deal, right?!
Thanks.

Yes, I'm not in California right now. But I can still call up the karma, dude!
