Maybe time for an update

It's been a month. Too long, me thinks.

Things are very much the same.

Quick pop quiz:

Q: Is the fastest way from Madison to Edwardsville, IL through Chicago?

A: No! Unless you miss the turn to Rockford and don't notice until you're in Schaumburg.

Whoops.

So instead of getting to STL at 11:30 pm on last Thursday, we got there at 1am. Oh well. It was fun. It was different. I don't think that I had ever been there when Ryan wasn't. It was okay though. Leo is even weirder with Ryan around, however. He hides in the basement all day now. *Shrug*

But, we saw the Symphony and that was fun. One of the bit parts in Candide at Lincoln Center (the one that's on DVD that I LOVE LOVE LOVE) was in the concert -- he sang the tenor part in the Carmina Burana. I never realized what a weird piece of music that is. It would make an excellent music history paper -- how DO the opening and the finale of the CB relate to the rest of the piece? Oh well. Too late now.

Otherwise, we just hung out and did whatever, which was good too.

MFSO: Concert was Saturday. Worst concert ever. They played Beethoven 7 and it was ridiculous! I was really embarassed and I didn't play on it. *shudder*

Oh well, I keep playing in it. It's good for me. :)

I'm being picked on to eat, so I will go.

Funny you should mention Beethoven--I heard someone say exactly the same thing about Delfs' concert last week.

About the pop quiz: should there be a "Milwaukee" in there, or am I just more confused than usual? I usually just get this confused in the car.
