A List

1. Am home from Phoenix since Tuesday evening. Was suppose to return Monday evening, but my flight was canceled, so enjoyed one more night with Holly drinking wine, watching tv, and in general enjoying the 116 degree heat.

2. Am now at my sister's embarking on the night before another weekend of cat-sitting. Went to the beach today with Heidi and Adelaide. Saw many jellyfish, although apparently they are not the stinging type. Got hot but a little bit more tan after my scorching sun burn from the Grand Canyon last Saturday. It looks better than it did.

3. Am guilty of not returning phone calls to Kim and Mary. Apologies.

4. Am playing in a quartet-reading party next Tuesday. Was invited by Raphael Hillyer, the 93-year old original violist of the Juilliard String Quartet. Am slightly freaking out. Have to prepare the Mozart "10 Celebrated" 1st violin parts by Tuesday.

5. Am visiting TMC on Monday night, to see their orchestra concert and liven up the place, since, according to David, it is dull this year. Maybe some (now $5) champagne is in the works? Remains to be seen.

6. Am still jet-lagged from flying cross-country. Cannot believe it really is only 10:15 in the west right now. My body clock is all messed up, not to mention my brain from all this 3-hour subtracting I've been doing lately.

7. Am deciding that I while I am glad I took the summer off, I shall not again next year unless I will be sure of being busy and playing violin lots. Not enough going on for me. I prefer to be busy. I am happier that way.

8. There is no 8.
