I really need to be more diligent about posting. Here it is, almost the weekend, and I haven't said anything about last weekend. Which was musical. Friday night, I decided to take in a free concert at the First Unitarian Church, with the Women's Chorales of the University of Chicago and Northwestern University. Lots of Fauré and a variety of folk songs. Very nice. There was a small reception afterwards. One of the chorale directors invited us to the reception saying, "If you have given up chocolate and sugar for Lent, we have veggies. And if you have given up veggies for Lent, we have chocolate and sugar."
Saturday, I went to hear Pinchas Zukerman and Marc Neikrug in recital at the Harris Theater, as I had copped a cheap ticket. Obviously, it was all music for violin or viola and piano: Mozart, Shostakovich, Takemitsu and Franck. Very nice.
Otherwise, it's been a quiet week. I actually managed to get my sister's birthday present in the mail on Monday. Her birthday is today, but I don't know if it arrived because when I called, she was out (partying, I assume)!
