I hope my readers had a good weekend, despite the cold
weather. Sorry that I didn’t blog yesterday, but Travalon and I were busy
watching both games. The Brewers game seemed to be going well, and in fact they
won 4-0. The Packers didn’t seem to have any defense going, and then the
offense kind of stalled too, so we thought they were going to lose to the
49ers, who are not a good team this year, at Lambeau just to up the humiliation factor. However, they did that thing
they always do where they come back from the dead, and it worked this time –
they won by a field goal. Sometimes it doesn’t work…
This weekend I was very busy with the Irish weekend I have
gone to in the past, but not for the last few years. All I can say is I’m not
sure why not, because it was so much fun. We had class and then a social on
Friday night, and classes all day Saturday. My class of six (Level 2) bonded so
much that we all went to lunch together, and one girl even asked me to be her
friend on social media. In the evening there was an Irish music concert as part
of the weekend, but I went to a Baroque concert instead. Tiffy couldn’t come to
town so I was planning to sit by myself, but a bandmate and her grandkids
joined me. It was a wonderful concert that featured a lot of Boismortier, including
a delightful choral piece. I had no idea he wrote choral works! I had always
thought of him as primarily writing for the flute.
Sunday there was Irish class again, but my choir director
begged me to sing, and then then my band had a gig after that, so I ended up skipping
the class. After the gig, at Common Ground, Travalon and I went on a hike at
Holy Wisdom monastery and discovered an incredible view, but it was so cold
that we didn’t hike long. We went to the movies for the first time in a long
time and saw A Star Is Born, which
was really good. I have always liked Lady Gaga’s singing, and she is a great
actress too. I will warn you, if you haven’t seen any of the previous
iterations of this story, that it is very sad.
