multi?

There is no such thing as multi-tasking, just paying attention to one thing after another. Which is what I am doing.  Everything else is taking a back seat until Hannah’s red silk prom dress is done.

I have had time to note that there are a couple other nice review of Twenty Days here and here and a video up on the Yout

I am planning for a two day revival of In Dreams Begin Responsibilities at Nautilus Music Theater. That’ll happen May 18th and 19th. Watch this space for more info.

Tomorrow morning I play for the funeral of Mrs. Mary Hamilton, the oldest member of Saint Peter Claver congregation, dead at 105 years old, of the second of six generations to belong to the church, descended from people who walked up to Minnesota from the southern United States. Until recently, she could be seen  pushing her walker down the frontage road every Sunday on her way to Mass.  I’m pretty new to the church…joined about eleven years ago. I have varying degrees of reverence, but I am always awed by the staying power of the people who founded the parish. Ah, times have changed.The neighborhood called Rondo was the place to be until the freeway went through, bisecting it and cutting off neighbor from neighbor. That’s what they say. Mrs. Hamilton welcomed me and Hannah to the parish. I remember the card she gave Hannah at her first communion, with a two dollar bill inside it.

It’s spring. My window boxes are filling up,

and I am eating watercress. Hannah turns eighteen Friday.
