Life as we know it is rather interesting lately--I never thought so much joy could be derived from something so simple. Check out this video of GDP and ENP from last week--anyone having doubts about how cool having a child can be should watch this repeatedly. And no, ENP is not reading Cosmo to GDP.
Although I would be the first in line to tell you that nothing like this would have been on my radar 10 months ago.
In other news, I will be staying at Florida State, which is terrific news and a decision that I am very happy with. I love our quality of life here in Tally, and I love my job, students, administration and colleagues. Yes, some towns are hipper than this one, but you can't put a price on people who believe and invest in you on a level that is exceptional.
ENP continues to recover; some of you know more about this than others, but I am hopeful that all post-partum complications will be coming to a close very soon. Also, I finished the Svoboda concerto last Thursday night (after the plane-crash Waffle House incident on Feb. 8), and my students threw down on Rite of Spring in the second half. It was a blast.
Upcoming things: More reading to GDP, Spiritual at LSU this weekend, three guest artists, two more concerto performances (more new music), the last TSO MW and Children's concerts, five student recitals, the burger burn, and SUMMER!!!
Also, BT remind me about Rochester. And Anakin, if you're out there, I'm relegated to email only for the next two months. EMAIL ME. More later, devoted four readers.
