the few, the proud

Good Afternoon! After our millionth blizzard last weekend, crashing our one-month duet anniversary, we not only got back in the saddle, but totally had a "run through" of our piece. And we are very proud--aren't we Bob??? :)

We certainly aren't "finished" with it, but to get through the whole thing is a great feeling! It is maybe 5 pages long, and about 5 million notes. Per second. It feels like you are exercising when you play it. (I think...? I hate exercising, but I imagine it must be a similar feeling...hehehe...) so we celebrated by going to a great gelato/coffee place in my neighborhood! We had a lovely time chatting away about Martin Frost, conductors, no-conductors, and how we don't know anything about Alexander Technique, but could both probably benefit from it. :)

The come back just might be happening, you guys! I am feeling WAY better clarinet-wise, and I am so much happier and chilled out personally, too.

Just a quick update...now I must finish lessons for my kiddos this week while I obsessively hit refresh on perezhilton.com because we don't get TV** and I must see what Natalie Portman wears at the Oscars!

Ta-ta!

**not for societal disobedient reasons...we're not home that much and it's too damn expensive. besides, i only want to watch law & order, barefoot contessa, and colbert report. xoxo
