Too busy for a real post.

1. The concerto competition is February 1st. I'm playing the Hindemith Violin Concerto (1939). Its a great piece. All you Hindemith naysayers, don't knock it till you've heard it (and I doubt you've heard it).

2. Arneis Quartet is rolling along. There will be pictures soon.

3. I have the nastiest cold right now. I spent all of Saturday in bed. It was amazing, yet painful too - I wanted to do laundry on Saturday. And go to Marshalls. Neither happened. Very painful. And I had to cancel a 4 hour quartet rehearsal. Disaster.

4. I still haven't gotten paid for a gig I did in early December. Angry emails have been flying.

5. I haven't posted since Christmas because I don't have enough hours in the day. Literally. Not.

6. Martha Coakley didn't win tonight. But I did vote. I didn't get a voting sticker. I was mad about that. Apparently they ran out by the time I ran through the door to vote at 7:55 pm (the polls closed at 8 pm).

7. I'm playing two performances with the Mark Morris Dance Company next weekend.

8. Its time to go to bed.
