One week home

For the first time since January 15th - I've been home for an entire week.

The program we had scheduled for Kansas City postponed, so that makes for TWO WEEKS at home, with nothing "scheduled".

This is hard! Now at the end of the first week, without rehearsals to prepare for, without liturgies to prepare for, what have I accomplished? I did compose a piece that I had promised for an April program. That took about a half day. I put a new faucet in the kitchen sink. That took one hour.

What did I do?

Can't say. But it sure feels good. No alarm. I watched American Idol - an interesting process, and study of human interaction!! Sabboth (sabbatical) means rest - I guess that's a pretty significant accomplishment.

Maybe that was it.

I miss the people and work, and look forward to the return.

I guess I'll just go off to Florida to "do nothing there" using free miles, and accept the generosity of a friend with an empty condo there. That's it. I'll do nothing there for a few days.

Why not?
