Obama!

It sure is nice to have a president of whom we can be proud. i am amazed, however, of the stupid, assinine criticisms leveled against him by some of my colleagues. For once, I'm glad I'm just an adjunct. It's like there is some competition in some bizarre sense of piety. Fundamentalists seem so intense about their religious views, yet still seem to find a way to worship their money and bitch about taxes. Isn't that idolatrous? They love to use that word.

I turn 44 next week! wowie

I have my graduate douçaine recital set for 7 november 2009, Saturday 2 PM at Saint John's Cathedral. I have a great line-up so far! Of course, my dear musical partner, Jen on viola or vielle, Joe Baldassarre on lute, Ray Morvant on Organ, countertenor Corey McKnight, Gail Vaughan, percussion, Linda Marie Zaerr, vielle and a choir from the College of Idaho.

In a couple weeks I will be at the mid point of my masters degree.

I just saw an amazing Langroise Trio concert with a premiere of a new Jim Cockey work for the trio with Corey, and a Vaughan Williams quintet with Jack on bass and Robyn (C of I colleague) on piano.

I've been killing a lot of time on Facebook and watching One Tree Hill in syndication. It's about time for this semester to be over.
