Rejoice in the Lamb

I found today that I am having a conducting lesson tomorrow. My teacher said, "Do you know Rejoice in the Lamb?" I paused and replied, "I think so." He asked, "Do you think you can know it by tomorrow?" I said, "I sure can try."

So my first conducting assignment is to learn "Rejoice in the Lamb". Yeesh! It will be in rough shape tomorrow- especially since I did not have any time to work on it until I got home, which was about 8:00 PM. But I was not about to tell my teacher that I thought it was too intense of an assignment for my first lesson (taking place in less than 24 hours).

My back is feeling more pain and soreness than it did this morning. I ordered a bag with wheels. I should get it on Friday afternoon. If I can make it through tomorrow, Friday will be fine. It's a light day.

So in the mean time, above are some pictures of our San Diego excursion over Labor Day weekend. More explanation in a later entry. It was a good trip. The first picture is actually from our hike on Labor Day which we did north of Malibu. Again, more on that later.
