Yea! Spring is back. Hope it stays for a few days. Drove to UCONN late yesterday afternoon but as I headed into the western sun I had to stop and dig out my sun glasses in Canterbury because I was driving blind in a couple of spots and that was scary. I enjoyed the drive and even though there was a basketball game on campus as well as the show at Jorgensen the traffic only became heavy as I turned left on North Eagleville road by the church. Ended up in the middle of the intersection at the North Garage blocking a firetruck. That was hairy but couldn't be avoided as I went through on the green only to end up in the middle of everything. The police finally worked us into place so the firetruck could get through. I was surprised that there was plenty of room in the garage but that's because it's free parking for the theatre but they charge $5 for people going to Gampel therefore the sports fans park in all of the big parking lots and walk up the hill. Tao: The Martial Art of Drumming was a great performance. Nine men and four women put on one wild, energetic show of great drumming and sleek athletic showmanship. The flutists were exceptional and in one of the "songs?" some type of harp like instrument that looked a bit like a piano without it's outside cover made clear,deep notes that resonated so well with the drumming. The drums were of various sizes and spoke so many different musical languages from sweet and fluttering to deep, loud and warlike. It was very impressive. The drummers hands flew so fast that you could not distinguish their movements. They were blurs. For a couple of pieces the audience clapped rhythmically and it added to the life in the auditorium. It was exciting and exhilarating.
Went to breakfast at Zip's this morning and soon will be going to the Dog Track to walk while Grampa flies. He's moved the cars out of their winter parking spots and into the summer mode! That is very uplifting! Will be going to pick up Kiddo this afternoon. He was out of school early yesterday so he was helping out in the kitchen when we were having lunch at Richoni's with Air Force grand daughter. He looked so grown up as he ran through from the kitchen with his apron to courier the take out food to the bar! He's growing up much too fast.
