Historia de la Música
Boston Modern Orchestra Project
This is a catch-up for yesterday. The BMOP did a program of works featuring the viola, two of them world premieres. It made me happy to be out hearing live music. I’m very relieved that my sort of cranky mood when I arrived didn’t make me think “this is shit.” Instead, I thought “this is absurd” (in the sense of absurdist art) and noticed it gave me a tickling feeling of almost wanting to laugh.
Rising up for women
I felt privileged to be able to DJ for an hour tonight for a One Billion Rising V‑Day event in Second Life this evening. It made me happy!
And you can listen to my playlist.
Dinner with an old friend
Taking a page from my friend Stacey’s book, I’m going to see how I feel about reinvigorating my blog by posting one thing that makes me happy each day of Lent. (Lent has no particular meaning for me, but that’s the time frame she’s using, it’s shared by millions of people, and it’s a time frame I can imagine keeping to.)
Today I had dinner with my friend Sara and caught up about any number of things in our lives. She gave me a gift: the admonition to remember several peak moments from my sabbatical and to never doubt their reality, even when I can’t or don’t feel what they evoked at the time.

This is a test post
My posts with embedded videos are acting strangely in this theme I’m trying out. I like the typography and the lightness of it, but the strange behavior of the video posts, not so much.
This is a second paragraph, introducing a list:
- of unenumerated
- items
And for the heck of it, and to show that it looks very nice, a blockquote:
This is what she had to say about women in binders. And then he said that, and she (the other woman, over there) said this.
