  : fun! two women in hats with ears, at a nearby gate
    Walked over and said "I love your hats!" and was rewarded with
    thanks and smiles.  Not as big as mine, though.  Go me!

  * transfered Colleen's weekly allowance
  * bath; bed ~midnight; snuggle; S=4070

A very good day, made a little sad around the edges by having to leave Promusica, but happy to be home again. A very good Tempered Glass rehearsal -- surprisingly good, considering that the last time we were together was back in August.

The high point, really, was in the airport seeing two women come in wearing cute hats with ears, and take seats at the next gate over. Just before boarding I walked over, said "I just wanted to say that I love your hats!" I was rewarded with thanks and smiles, but I think my grin going back was bigger. Go me!

My reading on the plane was Andrew Odlyzko's Collective hallucinations and inefficient markets: The British Railway Mania of the 1840s [pdf] (found via this post by osewalrus). The netbook holds up quite nicely to a two-hour flight. Also, this time I remembered to sync up my to.do file before boarding, so I was able to update on the plane.

A very good trip, but it was very good to come home, to a hot bath, a warm bed and a happy snuggle.

That rehearsal was the high point of my... month or so, probably.

Yay!!!

I'm so glad I was able to come up.

I'm glad too. I wish I'd been in better shape while you were here -- but having you here helped comfort me several times when I wasn't in okay shape, so that makes me even more glad you were here.

[mdlbear]

Me too. Being around to lift your spirits when you needed it is more important to me than merely doing things with you.

Though that TGl rehearsal came a *very* close second. We need to do that more often.

We sure do. Maybe if we visit for a couple of days on one side of Consonance or the other we can get in a non-rushed rehearsal since we aren't performing at Consonance this year.

[mdlbear]

Yes. Definitely.
