1. Here's what I am aiming for: if Brahm's 4th symphony comes on the radio or pops up in a movie or if I happen to hear it some other way, I want to be able to "name that tune in three notes" as it starts. I'm almost there. I know I'll be there when I can be doing something totally unrelated to listening to music, think of this symphony, and can hear its opening, call it up from my memory. I'm not quite there yet, but I'm getting close.
2. Shortly after 4 o'clock, Debbie and I strolled into The Lounge. Ed and I try to meet on Fridays around this time and he was there and the three of us entered into some serious yakkin' about everything from how things have changed in the world to Civil War battle sites to our relationships with our adult children. It was a great session. Ed left before we did and Debbie and I hung around a little longer and had a great talk about family matters and how Adrienne, Patrick, and Molly are doing.
3. Around 9:30 or so, Debbie ended a long conversation with Misty, I finished the Saturday New York Times crossword puzzle, and Debbie told me she was hungry for ice cream (we didn't have any on hand) and then changed gears and said she wanted popcorn. She was prepared to make it herself, but because I have popped myself a lot of popcorn over the last few months, I volunteered to be tonight's chief popcorn popper.
And it worked. I popped us each a bowl and it turned out to be a perfect bedtime snack!
