It’s a perfect autumn-like afternoon for a bike ride. I love the meadow of native plants along the Jackson Creek Trail.
At the University of Denver this week to sing with Berkshire Choral. Checked into the dorm today and had orientation.
This is a good spot to read under a pear tree for the next half hour until the sun goes down.
In Denver, a day early, for a week of singing with #BerkshireChoral. A quiet day before a week of intense rehearsals.
Nothing better for an introvert than a nice dinner in a quiet restaurant with a good book. The salmon was cooked perfectly, the rosé from Oregon was tasty, and Babel in an exceptionally good book.
I love that people like books.
Morgenstern’s is a new bookstore here in Bloomington. Every time I go there the parking lot is full, there’s a bunch people reading in the cafe, and a line at the register.
Walking the dog this evening in #Bloomington #Indiana. The tulip trees (the state tree) are blooming.
In southern Indiana, where I was this morning, the tulip trees were done blooming last week.
I'm very much looking forward to singing in the upcoming Maui Choral Arts concert "I Dream a World".
We're doing two longer-form pieces this time. Both are about finding hope in a world full of conflict.
A World Beloved, by Carol Barnett, is subtitled A Bluegrass Mass. It's a spectacular mashup of traditional latin text and bluegrass ballads.
A Vision Unfolding, by Kyle Peterson, is a hopeful take on moving beyond prejudice and racism.

I think this was the problem, the trace on the near edge at the right. It’s nice when the flaw is visible.
