Snow day

And I am at school. Trying to get a few things done before (theoretically, weather permitting) I leave for Boston tomorrow where I'm scheduled to speak at the Commonwealth School. At Commonwealth, the word "assembly" doesn't seem to have the awful connotation (lame, annoying, waste of time, etc.) that it does at so many schools. They have an assembly every Thursday and often feature outside speakers. Looks like a very interesting school and I'm really looking forward to my visit. But the storm is moving east and the skies are looking distinctly unfriendly.

The world will stay upside down for awhile. First, our friends in the Klezmer band Veretski Pass will arrive Sunday night for a series of events on campus early next week. Having Monday off, I get to escort them to their appointments. The rest of the week will feature an annual Uni favorite, Agora Days. I'm hoping to take Chamber Music from Alex and Martin. But only if they go easy on me and let me play in the second violin section.
