I was doing so well this morning....woke to the sound of WFMT playing these amazing Gabrielli pieces. The first a sonata for Brass Choir, the second an old Roger Wagner recording of a Jubilate Deo for Choir and Brass. Amazing the harmonies and counterpoint. each voice melding sometimes in unison, sometimes in dialogue with one or several other parts. Note to self: Listen to more Gabrielli.
The radio also announced today is Marilyn Horne's Birthday. Happy Birthday, Jackie. Now there is some singing to aspire to.
All was going great. I didn't linger in bed too long. Plans for working danced in my head this morning. (Ok, yes I know the week's plan was that I would be at the gym or swimming first thing in the morning, but hello!.....it is -15 F outside. I've been slacking this long, I think above 0 F is a reasonable boundry for hoping on the bus to the train to go exercise at 6 am in the morning, don't you?)
So I'm being industrious, getting my groove on. Make the coffe, wash the couple of dishes that are in the sink, (I am feeling good cause I cleaned house yesterday....wooo-hooo!). Ok, pull up the faucet handle, cold water, warmer...no water...hmmm. I guess that -15 is affecting more than just my flow.
Long story short, I just lost an hour and half, robbing me of quality time here. *Sigh*--oh well the Gym will be there tomorrow and so will you! Wooo-hooo!
Have a great day!
