I'm really surprised at how well that went.

The Messiah was good. I mean, it can't really go that bad if they're paying you $100 regardless, but...it can still go bad. I say it went okay. In the middle of the uber-run in the first song for the tenor, which was the first song for the whole show, my sinuses said: "Alright! It's time to party!" and proceeded to do so, to the disgruntledness of my face. But after that sorted itself out, the rets of it was greatly musical, and greatly good in its musicality. Geoff was the bass soloist, and he was good too. Bo Bardos was the alto soloist, and Sarah Valentine was the soprano soloist. They were as they always are: perfection.

Then we had steak. REALLY good steak. It's always fun barbequing in December, in a tux, with a glass of red wine. It even makes for better steak, it seems. That and the steak was from cows that belonged to Krista's extended family...and they had really good cows. Really good tasting cows, for those who weren't paying attention.

Then Sky Dragon, where I met Kenneth, who seems like a cool individual. He plays the trumpet, or will be doing so again soon. He was also the first person I've met my age who can talk to me about sailing. And REALLY talk. A LOT. EXTREMELY. About SAILING.

This Sunday existence was alright too. Good music in the morning, good music in the afternoon. SOUP for lunch! And Nerlind now works at the church.

Life is good.
