Welcome, July 2024!  It’s the beginning of the hump month of summer.

It was the start of the three-day Civil War battle in 1863 at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

Sunday was both off-balance and productive, but I did manage to complete several items that needed my attention. Most of the time was spent, relaxing on the deck with audiobooks and the dogs.

Teaching was off to a great start but by 6:30 PM, I began feeling wretched and discovered I had a slight fever. My lessons from 7:30 PM to 11 PM will be rescheduled.

I have things to take me away from the house for the majority of each day, today through Sunday. I will make it home today to teach from 4 PM to 11 PM. Several of my Colorado are preparing audition material of the musical, BRIGHT STAR, which is one of my favorite shows. I first saw it several years at Epiphany Lutheran Church, with a number of my students, and then, again, at Wright State University. It’s such a great show. It is such a joy to revisit this score.

It was a tad too cold to sleep on the deck and I am looking forward to warmer nights, so I have that option. I really love it. It’s as close to camping as I ever desired to come.

There is little else to report this morning.

Make it a great day!
