I'm currently listening to Russia's Eduard Kunz play Beethoven's Sonata in "C", Opus 53, and it's marvelous. Before him was Mariangela somethingorother from Italy who is fabulous. How the judges are going to be able to pick the finalists, I don't know, it's such a strong set of competitors!
This is a weekend for traveling as Joe is approaching his destination in Michigan (having spent the night in Missouri) while my brother, Louis, just sent me the following photo from his camera:
He and Mary are on Broadway, the lucky ducks. I'm eaten alive with wicked envy, by jingo. Someday I may scrape some money together and head up there myself, since Don refused set a foot in NYC again, barring business or passing through one of its airports. As a pleasure destination, though? Not a chance. He loathed it.
I've always liked it, however.
This afternoon I had the pleasure of showing my newly redone patio to a couple of choir friends, and it was most pleasant to sit and chat with glasses of ice water and the ceiling fan providing a nice breeze.
Thank You, LORD, for this treat!

Awesome picture! Color me pea-green! Your back patio is very lovely, indeed. I can see you with your vodka drink and your laptop enjoying the nice weather while it lasts....
New York is FUN! I grew up and went to college close enough that I was able to take the occasional bus day trip there as a teen/college student. New York is the ultimate example of "nice place to visit but wouldn't want to live there." But yes, great to visit!
