Surprise at the Cantaria rehearsal last night, which was that we sounded brave and youthful and, at a rehearsal, the best we’ve ever sounded. We’ve added four or five new members, some of them conspicuously good, and maybe that has achieved the critical mass. I’m trying to remember the last time I’d come home from rehearsal exuberant and energized rather than exhausted. There are low D’s in the Lauridson for me.

Long and joyful morning session in the garden.

God smites the Republican Convention with a mighty wind.

No one has sufficiently sung the praises of the crape myrtle tree.
