Things to note.
There will be no pictures from my trek out to William O'Brien with Alison and Ben, because I couldn't find my camera. Alison is holding the picture of us hostage on her camera. But it was a beautiful day and we had fun (though we did not see any deer or frogs as the trail map told us we would). We stopped at the Village Scoop in Marine on St. Croix on our way back (I LOVE the mint chip...).
For those of you that actually like my dorky stories, I will share this one with you. As most of you probably know, we are in the midst of our fall rehearsals for orchestra. Since I've been house sitting, I've got loads of time to practice and no one around to care when I do it. So I've been really gung ho about my violin this week. My E string was kind of worn, so I ordered a new set of strings so I could replace all four of them. Of course, the string that I needed to replace the most was the E (also, in my opinion, the hardest to change). Wouldn't you know that I got over zealous with the peg, forgot about the fine tuner and it snapped. So I had to put the old one back on. I'll have to stop at Given's tomorrow on my way home from work. A quick plug for our concert on Nov. 10th. You should all come, because you will rarely get to hear a tuba concerto. And because the Tchaikovsky 4th is pretty awesome. If you want more details, let me know.
And also to note that I made 10 dozen cookies today. I wanted to make cookies for our meeting tomorrow and got excited about having extras. So I made two batches of the Nestle Tollhouse cookies, not realizing that they make about 5 dozen each. Whoops. Chocolate chip cookies anyone?
The Rockies just got a run and now are only behind by one... things could actually get exciting!

"There are two golden rules for an orchestra: start together and finish together. The public doesn't give a damn what goes on in between." - Sir Thomas Beecham
