I don't feel like writing a big blow-by-blow weekend summary, as has been my usual thing in recent weeks. Mom came to visit Saturday morning, both because of my concert that night, and a concert Sunday afternoon in which her next-door neighbor's kid was playing. She got to meet Dayna and met up with a college/high school friend she'd been wanting to see. We also had great fun trying out the French press, and boy, it makes some good, though strong, coffee.

My concert was really fun. The soloists were good, much better than they were in rehearsals. Mom told me I move around too much and need to sit still when I play, but other people said I was interesting to watch. My stand partner and I both move a lot, so we're kind of a dangerous combination! I was also told by one of the first violinists that her and I are basically "carrying the section", which I guess is a good thing.

Sunday I went to the Hopkins Orchestra concert after Mom left. I got to talk to a few friends and thanked the conductor for his recommendations that I seek out other groups to play in (since I can't play in Hopkins).

It was in the 60s yesterday; today it's snowing. What, am I back in Pittsburgh?

Did you get the low-down from mom after the visit? Does she like Dayna?

My mom is coming down to meet Chris in a couple of weeks. I hope she likes him! (I don't see why she wouldn't, he's pretty respectable)

Hey, the Dayna question was my question!

Ha ha!

Yeah, I think they definitely liked each other, but my mom is very easy to get along with. They have a lot of stuff in common with each other that they don't with me, like certain books and movies, which I thought really interesting, at least.

Cool. Glad to hear things are working out well for you with Dayna. :thumbsup:
