A Day in the Life, 10 years

2019 South Beach Jetty, Newport OR Brando and PimChee 2017 What I'm reading 2015, Taos Cresting a low rise I see the opaque ocean: Early morning fog. 2014, Cerrillos Oy, what have I done? Now I have to schedule three Weekly rehearsals. (Albuquerque Philharmonic Orchestra, Monday. Santa Fe Symphony Chorus, Tuesday. Coro de Camera, Thursday.) 2013 Haiku from my mountain retreat... Three hummers have not Yet received the memo re: Southward migration. The tarantula Disappeared down the driveway. He's looking for sex. The Milky Way climbed Up from the mountain. I traced Its path overhead. 2011 The sun-heated car Is a free sauna. I sweat, The AC stays off.

2017 Tavistock View from the window, Not a red sky at morning But we’re socked in now. 2014 Cerrillos Lighting strikes over SF, with reflected sunset. 2013 In the eastern sky At both sunset and sunrise, Saw a UFO. (yes I know, it's a research balloon. I think.) 2012 ABQ While making a snack, I dropped the World's Sharpest Knife Onto my bare foot. He wants the desk phone To call an old enemy. "I'll take you to lunch." 2009, PDX Just attended my first convocation. Interesting, and it's nice to have good wine at the reception. My bro lives in an Atlanta suburb. He wrote about the creek separating his wife from their home, and I said "so, I gather there was some rain?" He lets me know it's national news. Hmmm. Ann Knutson:  Did you forget to watch TV AGAIN? Me: harrumph. Holly Hein: Atlanta, isn't that the city that was lost underwater ages ago? Lisa Smith Heu:  we even heard about it on a rock in the middle of the ocean Me: okay, i'll crawl

2014 Better than rainbows, The sun streams through deep clouds. I must pull over. 2013 He turns into her And drives off. I stop to help But don't get the plate. Notes from rehearsal... Re: Dvorak The maestro thinks its Much more interesting when We play together. Re: Adams He places each note Precisely where he wants it. It's an adventure! 2011 I shouldn't brag, but Four hundred fifty six is A great Scrabble score.

2017 From lunchtime concert To sidewalk art, to portraits, To fashion statements. Took me quite awhile To suss out this window art... Waiting for music That poet John Donne Was one very handsome man. He wrote quite well, too. Feet (National Portrait Gallery) 2016 Ranchos de Taos My days start and end With an enthralling skyscape. The day can't compete. Pictures from Nick and Ashley's wedding 2015 2014 On the Brahms violin concerto in D... This start is gorgeous. By the time the soloist Comes in.....who will care? On playing Ives..... He says, "You can strive For rhythmic accuracy, But..." and we all laugh. Shadow notes can be Left out. When he puts it in, It's not optional. When it's chaotic, It is intentional, so Don't try to listen. You look so gloomy! You're taking this melody Seriously? Hmmmm. 2013 Stormy Sunset. Peace Downsizing AGAIN! Remind me why I want this, And I'll make you scones. 2011 The night may come, when I will yearn to hear this
