Best text of the day:

"Happy Birthday Hermes! All of us at Dental Health of Boulder wish you a happy birthday. DO NOT REPLY"

As promised...

...the video from the CLUTCH Concert on February 22.

Jim from Cautionary Tales for Children, music by Steve Snowden

Jim, Who ran away from his Nurse, and was eaten by a Lion from Steven Snowden on Vimeo.

Last Monday's CLUTCH Concert

Concert went off really well, which is great since we had a nice crop of prospective MM and DMA composers visiting that day.

I helped Steve Snowden out a bit by conducting through the first of several Cautionary Tales for Children..."Jim, who ran away from his nurse and was eaten by a lion." What great piece and Steve himself sang the baritone part. Visit stevensnowden.com to check out the audio recording and video.

In the words of Ian Dicke, venerable composer and good friend, "I was proud of UT (that night)." Great showing all around...job well done!!!

Recent House Pics

Well, we had the Super Bowl party almost two weeks ago and we were able to get a good chunk of the house completed. Here are some recent pics of the kitchen and the living room. Still a ways to go, but we've done a lot in barely 6 weeks!

New Stove:


New Microwave over the stove:


New Dishwasher:

Fireplace/living room with our painted red wall (and of course, the giraffe in the center)

Barely a week into the new semester...

...and everything feels strangely odd. Must be the realization that I'm getting closer to graduating and the real world.

Or maybe it's just the cedar pollen.

Oh, and it turns out I have asthma again. Go figure.
