Oh, a little of this and a little of that. Yeah, that is moi, Karalynne Ducharme of the wheatfields of Canada. Thanks for stopping by!
Running around today, I bumped into an old friend of mine. And her husband. I last saw her five years ago, when she and her husband moved 500 miles away. So it was a pleasure indeed, to see her. She was more my acquaintance than her husband, by the way. In any case, it was so lovely to see her! She had settled into a new job and new home so far away, and was doing well... But: her husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor in the meantime ... ...
After an extensive one and a half hours of practicing (yes, on a Grand Piano!), I paused and went outside the building to indulge in a cigarette. I am deeply stressed, as I have ten pages of music to master prior to Sunday. Three pages are going really well, but that remaining seven is exhausting.... *sigh* … Time for a smoke break, I thought... So, as I was standing there, well away from the entrance to the building, god forbid that a smoker is anywhere near a door entrance ...
