Home again in Maine and happy to be here. 87 degrees and humid out there! No more dry heat for me!

I'm sitting in a kitchen in Jackson, WY, looking out the back window at some grazing cattle and pretty hills.  It's cool and damp and beautiful here.  After Alberta, the Tetons actually look small!  But they're as gorgeous as ever.

My brother played an incredibly difficult solo for string bass on a concert last night, and I was really proud of him.  Afterwards we went to a spaghetti supper with friends of his from the bass section in the orchestra of the Teton Music Festival: a half dozen men and one woman, tall and lean like their instruments.

I'll be home late Saturday night.  What a ride it's been!  8)

Leslie, I love Finlandia, makes me want to be a better human being.

Vodka makes you want to be a better human being? Maybe I'd better give up scotch. ...  ???

Driving home this morning, I was listening to the same classical radio station from Boston (WCRB) and the woman played, once again, Finlandia, by Sibelius. And I was thinking, what is this, her favorite song or something? I just heard this on Monday!

I sort of had that feeling. Which is the public radio station that plays all classical and jazz? WBUR? For some reason, I wasn't finding it on my dial.

You are in Wyoming now Meryl?? I'm jealous!! I bet it's beautiful up there.  :)

Which song did your brother play?  I love the string bass. It's a beautiful instrument.  :D
