Rock To Wind A String Around

4 shades of busy today.  Yesterday was Elliott’s first choir concert.  It was predictably darling, with sweet ensembles, instrument solos and a variety of folk songs making up the program.  We dressed for the occasion and planned a dinner out after the show, and well…we made it to Steak and Shake.  We all like Indian food, so that had been the plan, but Elliott noticed that kids eat free at S&S over the weekend, and suddenly the battle cry became, “Fries!!”  Out with the no-nap AM, Steak and Shake seemed a faster route to bedtime, so we acquiesced.  There are zippo vegetarian options at S&S,  so Albert and I ordered burgers without the meat.  Yum–so filling!

Today, I’m picking up presents, mailing presents, hosting a steering committee meeting for Enqutatash, and putting the finishing touches on the annual campaign letter.  I’m breaking up all of this gaiety with a trip to Tuba Christmas–my favorite holiday performance of the year.  It’s a little wacky, and a nationwide tradition.  Tuba players get together to practice for an afternoon, and then give a performance later that evening.  If you live in Cowtown, you can enjoy this festive event today at 5:30 or 7:30 at Capital University.

Albert is working from home this week, so we’ll see him lots.  in fact, he’s not scheduled to work away from home until the middle of January.  30 dinners together in a row?  Unheard of!

Here’s a link to the joy of big brass.  There’s still time to make it, Chicago readers!!!
