1. Stu had a mission to accomplish this morning in the Silver Valley. Ed accompanied him. They completed their task. They invited me to join them around 9:15 at The Beanery and we had a great time chewing the fat over coffee drinks of one kind or another.
2. Today, I repeatedly played Robert Schumann's Manfred Overture. I'm entirely unfamiliar with it and want it to sound as familiar as possible when I hear the Spokane Symphony perform it Saturday night. I've gained much more familiarity with Clara Schumann's Piano Concerto and Brahm's First Symphony, both of which are also on Saturday's program, but I'll continue to listen to them, too.
Getting ready to go to a symphony concert is, for me, the opposite of watching a movie.
Before I watch a movie, I don't want to know anything beforehand.
Before I go to an orchestral concert, I want to know as much as I can learn about what's going to be performed.
3. Macaroni in a curry soup?
I've had some leftover macaroni in the fridge for a couple of days. Tonight I planned on eating the shrimp curry soup I made a couple nights ago and thought why not see how the macaroni works in it.
After all, I love shrimp, love curry, and love macaroni.
Turns out it was a happy marriage.
