Wednesday morning at the Schuster Center, the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra presented two concert sessions for The Young People’s Concert. In total, thirty busloads of elementary students arrived for concerts at 10 AM and 11:30 AM. Conductor Patrick Reynolds took the helm on the podium and from the lobby, I could hear the thunderous applause, laughter, and cheering from the young folks. It was refreshing and invigorating to observe.

Yesterday was beautiful from the start, and since I arrived downtown 50 minutes before my call time at the Schuster Center, I busied myself eyeing photographic moments of much loved architecture. Inside the Schuster Center, I am always finding something you to photograph, or discovering something of individual fascination in the recognizable.

The pet and adoption story project is moving along nicely, and I am enjoying it. My major project is cumbersome due to the colossal volume of research, but it occupies me fast, mentally, physically, and spiritually, since it deals with my family history.

October 12 – on this day in history: in 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue and stepped foot on land that is greatly speculated to be San Salvador and not the mainland of what is today the United States of America. The world became familiar with Soviet premier, Nikita Khrushchev‘s famous shoe pounding incident on television in 1960, and four years later, we saw the first multi person spaceflight. Equatorial Guinea gained its independence and in 1979, Douglas Adams, HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY, arrived in book stores.

It’s time to launch myself into what is anticipate to be a beautiful day that is to reach a high of 77°.

Make it a great day!
