Bob has been in Goleta since Friday. I've been staying occupied practicing for the recital Joel Clifft and I are doing at APU. Meanwhile, I wanted to lend my support to friend and colleague John Van Houten at his recital close to home at Cal State Long Beach. Tuba seems to be the opposite of flute in all respects. It's extremely refreshing to hear it's robust, thunderous sound. What a great way to spend a Sunday evening while I wait for my beloved to return to me. Way to play, John!
I'm in Carlsbad watching flute technician Jay Sleigh lay hands on my instrument in preparation for the recital a week from Monday. He is a patient artist, extremely gentle with my beloved flute. It was worth driving 83 miles in the pouring rain to get here. I know it will play all the better for his expert touch. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
Although my dear husband Bob is pretty far under the weather, he is still working out of town this weekend until Sunday evening. When I left for my rehearsal this afternoon a few hours before his departure, he was slumped in his comfy chair looking miserable. Despite his pitiable physical state, when I returned our empty home I was greeted by a really funny and romantic note that he had taken the time to write. What a guy!
When I went into the bedroom some time later, I was touched to see Bob the Bear surrounded by rose petals. Gentlemen, this is the way to express true love to your wife. Thanks, honey!
