Time is Short

It seems every time we talk about the weather, it changes so this is the last time. Its been cold. It was windy and rainy and certain flowers are gone and making room for new ones. The quartet has been doing pretty well with gigs here and there working on all the new stuff. The best is when we get fed...there is not much to eat in Kent.
Daniel and Annabelle (from the Aidan String Quartet) did a joint recital and some friends and family stopped by. The day before, Daniel stuck his hand into the corner of a CD case. The scab now looks like a black mole.
After some patchy rain, the air cleared up and the moon came out looking like a fingernail. Still not many stars here because of a giant Walmart letting off ambient light all night long.
Jedi mind tricks don't really work on Eric but Robby (cellist of the Miami String Quartet and our coach) still insists on trying.
We go to and from school several times a day now and it's hard not to miss one another on the road...

Tempus Fugit

It was hot for only a few days and it's been back into the 30's so it's jackets and socks again. It even snowed a little. It's been a crazy week and it's only Wednesday. We are looking forward to some time off. Here a good look at the award from the Plowman competition. It hasn't been hung up yet, but we'll find it a home soon.

United Way

And just like that, spring is here. Just before break, the snow blanketed our cars once again, but now everyone is in shorts and flip-flops. It's nice to walk outside without the pounds of heavy clothing and to see green all around is a nice change. We are excited to be working on all of our new repertoire. In the meantime we are kept busy with all of our gigs and orchestra duties. Tonight we played for the United Way dinner. There were nice enough to feed us their amazing food.
