I don't talk much about my weekends anymore, but there were a few things that happened that were worth mentioning. On Saturday I came home from a shopping trip to Arundel Mills to find a little sticky note on my door. My upstairs neighbor, a Hopkins School of Public Health first-year, was having some people over and invited me to stop by. I thought it was really sweet of her, and told her so, but I was already going to my friend Ilana's housewarming in Owings Mills, and I'd committed to that weeks ago.
I'd parked my car by the park in front of Peabody, and when I got there, there was a wedding taking place in the park. Wedding photographs aren't that unusual, given the number of people that get married at the Mt. Vernon United Methodist Church, but this was a Jewish wedding. You can tell by the hundred or so people wearing kipot, and the prominent chuppah. I thought it was interesting, but promptly forgot to ask anyone at the party if they knew who the couple might have been.
Today I spent about 3 hours listening to musicians of varying abilities auditioning for the orchestra. It was certainly a different experience being on the other side of the table (so to speak) for once. In an orchestral setting, that is. I'd been a part of dozens of auditions for the a cappella group. I just found this time to be more enjoyable.
