last few days
I don't think I had realized just how much I needed a long weekend. I goofed off and recharged, and caught up on some reading.
Sunday, as I mentioned before, I worked on camp projects and then went to a birthday party in the evening. Monday afternoon we had an On the Mark practice. I am very pleased with how quickly pieces are coming together with the new group. Ray and Jenn both pick stuff up quickly, and Ray was doing some really cool instrumental stuff on some pieces. Give the man a naked set of chords and he makes music! And yay -- we have three strong voices in the group now. We were able to rework "Janet's Ride" as a dialogue song, with one person singing the lines for each speaker and one person (Ray) narrating, and I think it's going to sound really neat. (Ok, there are three speaking parts plus the narrator, so one of us has to double up. Fortunately, there's a pair that never interact with each other.) I'm also glad that Jenn is more of an alto than a soprano; this puts our voices closer together, which will help on some songs. And I like listening to her sing.
Sometime over the weekend I finally got around to watching the season finale of Enterprise. It was good! I'm impressed. That's it for the shows I watch, though the summer reruns of West Wing will be new to us because we only started watching the show recently.

I'm also liking how we sound together on "Weatherman".
