Updates
The predominant thought in my head this weekend is the death of a dear friend.
Spent most of this time communicating with friends through phone and email to share information/memories about her and to possibly arrange a mass at her wake. Of course, I want to play. That's the least I can do.
Her body is still in Houston and the date of arrival will greatly depend on the family's decision to cremate her there or not. From experience, there is a lot of red tape involved in transporting an uncremated body for health reasons.
If they choose to cremate the body there, she could arrive in a day or two.
So, I think it's best to hold back on my feelings until then.
On another front, my Yamaha dealer has secured for me an order for a YFL-471 as the YFL-421 has been phased out.
This new flute will be more advanced than what I originally wanted. It has ring keys (with open holes) instead of plateau (closed holes), making it more difficult to play. Because of that, I'm keeping my YFL-221 just in case. Also, these things are supposed to be shipped with plugs in case the open hole thing is not for me. But like the YFL-421, it is sterling silver all the way.
It's the same price as a MacBook Air. I can always get that one later, as I am still pretty satisfied with Scarlett's performance. Also, I generally buy the second generation of any new gadget, when the initial bugs have already been fixed.
Besides, this new flute will last me a long time and I can even hand this to my kids if they decide to take up the instrument. I can't say the same thing for my gadgets.
We also had a massive choir practice last night. Good thing they served a very good (and filling) dinner.
Last night was also the debut of Clarry II. I played him conservatively in the responsorial psalm because the piece only consisted of three easy-to-play notes. He played and sounded way better his predecessor. And for the price I paid, he should.
As always, I will be swamped between work and attending my friend's wake next week.
Hope next week will be better.
Hey! Valentine's day is just around the corner. Time to date myself again...
But to you who have dates next week, enjoy. As in every year, be good. If you can't be good, be careful. If you can't be careful, name him/her after me...
Cheers!
