Jake's play is now over and it was a great success. It was so fun to watch him blossom from the fall's play. He certainly has not trouble expressing himself on stage! I'll try to post a video clip if I can figure out how to do it. I also enjoyed being a stage mother for a week. It was great to have the week free enough to take him to practice and pick him up for most of the rehearsals and performances. Young Footliters is really a great organization. I'm glad we've stuck with it.

It's Mother's Day today. Jake bought me red carnations, a wonderful funny card, and cooked me scrambled eggs, toast, and coffee for breakfast in bed, which is where I remain. I have read most of the NY Times, finished the crossword puzzle in record time, and am goofing around on the computer, downloading cool iPhone apps, and cuddling with the dogs. It is a beautiful day outside, sunny, cool, and breezy. Hopefully I'll get off of my butt and do some weeding in the front garden, which looks like some empty Detroit lot at the moment. (Hey Detroit, I love you!)

I only 2 days of string juries, starting tomorrow, then I'm done. I've got too much practicing to do, but lots of time to do it. I have to learn the Bach Chaconne on baroque viola for several performances starting in June. It sounds so beautiful on baroque viola and is so much easier to play as well. There also lots of things to do around the house, such as cleaning... God, I hate to clean. And Linnet Press editions to finish and have printed. Looking forward to the Farjeon and Dale releases this summer. I bought the domain name finally, and need to construct a site for that.
