Nomination

What is this?  Two posts in one day?

I just watched President Obama's nomination speech.  One classy fellow.  I'd vote for him.

But this post is not political.  This post is about other things.

I had two more ladies sign up for Women's Chorus between my post 9 hours ago and now.  Bring it on!  The skill range is going to be vast, but I've crossed wider rivers.  We now have a good number of sopranos.  We will see how they all balance out once everyone finds their voice and comfortability level with new songs.

My thesis project report is now approved.  Well, at least it's on it's way to my graduate advisors desk who will sign it and approve it.  So, I can celebrate.  John and I will do that probably when I return from Minnesota.  Bring on the Brahms!  And Women's Chorus!  And Opus 37!  More on that later.

So, I am thinking about what I need to pack for my trip.  Clothes.  And what homework?  Conducting, diction, orchestral conducting, women's music, and I think I'll bring two masterworks to study (Vaughan Williams and Mozart).  I hope I have time to do most of it, because I would love to truly focus on note taking on Tuesday for my thesis.

Alright, time to put away the technology and school stuff.  We are at a coffee shop almost 3 miles away and will walk home fairly soon.  It's a beautiful night.
