Choir practice!

Where I find out what the Anthem is

For Sunday

Emma chose

Palestrina’s Sicut cervus

Which was rehearsed last fall

October 3, 2021

Our first day with the choir

Outside across the compound

And not heard from since

Not an easy task

But I will be okay as long as I am sitting

Next to Betty or another alto

On Sunday

Apparently the entire choir

Knows it

Except me

 

Getting ready for a big weekend:

Mark’s birthday April 2

Megan’s having some people over April 3

And I will be rehearsing Sicut cervus

LAST ENTRY FOR MARCH – goodbye

Mark had a zoom meeting at 9:30

So we both had to wake up early

Such that I had to go back to sleep

And then it was noon or something

And a pretty gloomy day

No walk

Which was ok with me

We are now walking in the farther end of

Leisure Town

 or is it Hampton Park

which is part of

Leisure Town

But they have their own HOA

Someone takes care of their lawns

Obviously

Because they are absolutely

Uniform

And

They don’t have any

Decorations or landscaping

Little personal touches

Not allowed

I deduce

 

That kind of sterile uniformity

Depresses me

 

But

I like doing these walks with Mark

So I shouldn’t complain

About the distressing

Decorum

And

Décor

 

Mark appreciates that part of town

Lots of open space

With great views of the mountains

To inspire more and more

Beautiful photos

 

 One more day in March

To go

Ho ho

Say goodbye to my namesake month

Say hello to April Fools'

and lots of birth days!

Hectic weekend coming

Keep it simple

Stay calm

Enjoy

It's all about love

 

Pray for Peace

Mark played for me his composition called

The Passion According to St. Matthew

And sang it for me too

I am very excited about the prospect of

Actually performing it

Next year

 

We are hoping that the church and

Certain key figures

Will find favor with us

As we have found favor with them

So we can all prosper and grow

Together

Achieving our mutual aims

 

+++++++

 

The other big event of the day was

My third and final torture

At the dentist

Just as painful and dreadful

As the first encounter

And the second

But now it is done
