Picked up euros from the bank for the Germany trip.

Coffee with A at High 5. The usual, comforting topics.  Frothed over Trump. Moaned about the demise of our university. 

Picked up my tax return. Very much more palatable than last year, $255 to the Federal Government rather than $18000. I was careful juggling capital gains this year.  The amusing thing is that I owe $1 to the state of North Carolina. Considering whether to play the scofflaw and ignore it or send in the check with a sarcastic memo. 

Have been in extraordinarily good voice for rehearsals this week. More 3rd rate church anthems pulled out of the archives. Discouraging.
