Pictures of You

[tracker7]

So, Erin called last night - and the timing was rather funny, and with all due respect, it's not really meant for your eyes, dear friends, but someday, the whole story can be told. Maybe. She is, as I write this, attending a performance by the New York Philharmonic at the Norton Center in Danville. On the program for tonight is Pictures at an Exhibition. I am extremely jealous.

Work is going okay. New project lead work tomorrow. That makes me feel a little bit better about job security, but I'm still not relaxed, and won't be until this latest round is hashed out. In the event of job-go-away, there's a good-sized severance package, enough to keep me going here for a while, or resettle me in one of the three cities I'd look at shipping out to pretty quickly.

A fair bit of excitement here in town today. Number One Crush called while it was going down, as she was near The Ridge when, as she put it, half the cops in town suddenly appeared.

The name of the guy that got shot sounds painfully familiar, but I can't place it. My memory's getting bad.

Tolliver was a local composer. christophertolliver.com has some small amount of information on him, but nothing on the shooting, of course.

Thought about getting tickets for that, but couldn't really justify it after having just gotten back from NYC to see the Collegium Chorale Ghent conducted by their founder, Phillipe Herreweghe, perform Bach's [i]Mass in B minor[/i] at Lincoln Center. Their recording of it on Harmoni Mundi is my favorite recording of the piece, so when tickets went on sale last summer I had to pick some up.

If anything, this review understates the quality of the alto.
