all my little plans and schemes - nothing but a bunch of dreams. all i really needed to do - was maybe some love. i don't expect you to understand - the kingdom of heaven is in your hand. i don't expect you to wake from your dreams - too late for pride now it seems. why must we be alone? it's real, love - yes, it's real. -- john lennon

As of yesterday I am a violinist in the Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra of Minneapolis.

Here is where we practice (no kidding):


BOMB, right???? I about freaked out. We are playing RACHMANINOFF. And all kinds of other crazy crap. Holy eff, I am SO EXCITED. Our first rehearsal was yesterday. And I am going to have to practice my ASS off. The first violin section is entirely female. It's fantastic. Season program.... http://www.msoa.net/SeasonProgram.html

I start teaching on Monday.

In other news, my best friend from middle school, whom I have not seen or heard from since high school graduation, called me yesterday. She lives in BLOOMINGTON. We're meeting for lunch today.

I'm off to look for a day job... so there's that. AND... FINALLY... we move in TOMORROW!!!!!

I left you a rambling phone message while waiting awkwardly on the sidewalk for my ride to pick me up last night. I think I do my best thinking (and voicemail recording) when I'm standing awkwardly in a public space waiting for someone else.

I am SOO excited that you're in the symphony. And that's a SWEET practice venue you all have! you'll have to share some funny rehearsal stories if they happen. Good luck with the search for a day job and happy moving!
