Today I worked from home, so nothing too exciting about that. My boss didn't make me come to campus to make up for working from home yesterday, and so far he hasn't said I have to come to campus Friday either. Travalon, meanwhile, has a new buddy at work.
The concert was so good! They did a song by Chick Corea called "Tones for Joan's Bones" and another tune that was just the drum, the bass, and a guy whistling, among other pieces. The title of the concert was "Duke in Africa," but in the first half they didn't play any Duke Ellington, so I was like, what the heck? But then, guess what? The whole second half was nothing but Duke Ellington! The one disappointment I had with this concert, okay two, is that they didn't do an encore, and right up front by the piano there was what looked like some big tropical drum with a maraca on it, and apparently it was just for decoration because they never used it once. See I lied, I had a third disappointment, but not with the concert per se: at intermission, Travalon and I waited in line forever to get a drink, and I was all excited about the special mocktail for the concert that had blood orange and lime in it, but when we finally got to the front of the line, they said their credit card readers had just stopped working, so we could only pay in cash. Since we didn't have any cash, we couldn't get drinks. And in all the confusion over drinks, I forgot to take a photo of how beautiful the windows overlooking the Capitol were, with white Christmas lights and a blue glow. I'll just have to go back again sometime to take a photo.
