Sorry, gentle readers. I am remiss--several days with no posting. Don't really have an excuse except that I have had a couple of bad days with my continual bowel battle--a Bowel Bowl--Colon Conundrum--so to speak. I certainly hope that this is not an indication of what I am in for as the series continue.
Otherwise, a nice week. We continue to plan the bathroom remodels at the condo. The work is going to be done by Kahle's construction--the Kitchen Center on north OH 66. And it is going to be a full gut job--everything will be new. The larger one will be done much like our current guest bath: while with black touches and with wainscoting. The smaller/master will have sand colored fixtures, also similar to our present tiny master. The only set back is that the work can't begin for about six weeks. Since we close Tuesday, we would like it to be faster but there are matters of material orders and scheduling to consider.
We have been able to get out to look at decorating possibilities and to do some shopping. Today we went to church, then to lunch. Tonight is the last regular concert in my Sunday at the Center Series, and it should be excellent as it is the Masterworks Chorale from Toledo. This is a forty voice group and that should fill the little Center with glorious sound. The new season, planned by Andrew Schultz, will be announced tonight. I have had a preview and he has done his usual fine job and is taking the series to a slightly different direction--nice, why else have a change of leadership?
Tomorrow is a Gemzar infusion--Series IV, Week 2. A week without Zeloda pills. Great.
Maestro, Maestro - Verse 4
Maestro, Maestro, we all love you and the way you've led us on.
No processing and no robes but many threats to wear chiffon.
Puce, brown, green, and tessellations,
This is how we know which song.
Titles have no recognition,
Who the heck is Jean Racine.
Better explain--the choir sings from the rear organ balcony, so it has never processed nor worn robes. But many times, a slightly swing/sway anthem has led to the suggestion that the women wear something frothy. With a folder full of music, any quick description finds the next piece--color works well--anyone know what tessellation is? Just one piece in the library had that on the cover. And also just one opus by Jean Racine-- never have seen another anthem by him and we never tackled the original French text.

Our computer has been down for days. Guess it has been the storm out here. Rain this time, thank God. Just wanted to say to the choir group how touched I was to have made the quilt. You remembered me! (sort of sound like Sally Field, don't I?) Anyway, know that when you are warming Dick, you warmed my heart as well. Love to you all. Ave

ReplyDeleteChiffon and tesselations! Sounds a bit risque.... (found a reference to Escher and rhythmic mathematical repetition - ??)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice few days ahead to enjoy the absence of Zeloda pills. Hope your days just keep getting better and better..

Good luck with the renovation plans. Contractor deadlines and schedules have always been different from my expectations but the finished product has always been welcomed.
ReplyDeleteYou're such a genius to share the "Maestro" masterpiece verse by verse. The divided doses gives more time to absorb and appreciate the text. And it all sounds so familiar some how. :)
Hope you're experiencing the beautiful sun and warmer temperatures that we have in Central OH. If not, I'll send some your way!
