Ah, I wish the weather didn’t affect my mood so much, but it does. Today is warmer and it has been snowing on and off – big fluffy flakes that are easy to shovel or even sweep off the walks. The wind has picked up a bit this afternoon, so we still need to bundle up, but this morning, before the wind started, it was downright balmy. I was glad to be out shoveling! and I am having a happy day!

Sort of busy day tomorrow. John Dutmer asked me to come up to the college and play for call-backs for Annie. I guess there are quite a few good girls and they have to whittle it down to a smaller number. I feel bad that some of the kids who tried out won’t get to be in it, but that’s the way it goes, I guess. I am glad that we will have the pick of the crop, so to speak, to work with this summer, because it should make for a better and easier to put-together show.

Then, in the afternoon I’m presenting a workshop on tai chi at a local homemakers’ event. They do it every January and have food and entertainment and booths and, apparently, people giving workshops. That will be fun – I’ve done them before for other events and totally enjoy teaching new people a little about tai chi and qi gong.
