bearshortyI spent the morning cross stitching and hanging out with Olya (one of our guests, she is exactly three years younger than me. Her Mom went to school with my Mom) and talking about religion and things. Before I knew it, it was 1pm. I don’t know where the time went.
Avatar: TLA S2E9. Bitter Work. When Aang finally got Earthbending I cheered. And poor Zuko in the storm at the end.
In the late afternoon we all got ready to go to Manhattan. Galina, Mama’s friend, is a music teacher so Mama thought they would really like a concert. She got tickets for everyone (my parents, our guests, Bear and I) to Carnegie Hall this evening. We drove to the city and then split up for a bit. I met Bear and we went to Central Park for a little while and then to get food. Then we met everyone else by Carnegie Hall. The concert was by Orchestre Symphonique de Monteal and it was called “The Evolution of Symphony.” There were Bach’s piano symphonies in all keys (I liked E-flat major) and also Webern (whom I found very creepy; I kept imagining I was walking in deep forest and things were jumping out at me) and Stravinsky. And the best part was Beethoven’s 5th. High tempo, the conductor was jumping even. Beethoven is always fun.
I got my jury duty deferred to be at the closer location. Yay. Not having to travel three hours one way is a good thing.
Cross-stitching: finished all the blue and started pink on one balloon. Just balloons left. The animals are done.
