We found a house we loved, and put an offer on it. Degrees of hysteria in an around a detail or two, but we're certain it's where our daily life belongs.
We made it to a "caroling" practice last night for a show at some barn this coming Saturday. Should be interesting, if not fun. I'm definitely going to need to practice at home, because I'm not used to reading lyrics *and* a specific voice (as in "tenor") part at the same time from sheet music. It didn't help that the guy sitting next to me was "all over the place", making it difficult to land notes in the vicinity/context of his sonic uncertainty.
Oh... that reminds me. I've been wanting to - in vain, of course - ask the silent crowd whether anyone else out there experiences an indescribable sort of paralysis when switching between playing keyboard and typing on a QWERTY.
My wife awoke me for, um, "action" last night for the second time in a week, which - the awakening the other part - really hasn't been our norm. But you can bet your sweet bippy I've been whistling "Happiness Is A Warm Gun" since arising <coughs> this morning....
It's really interesting how having re-encountered "behind the within", attempting to coax others in its direction leads to an all but utterly silent response. Those still (let's call it) "ahead of the in front" just plain can't see it, and thus have no possible response when confronted with it. It's as though they become (let's call it) "instant NPCs" in its presence.
Wild!
But, whatever. We're going back to our Source whether (another Lennon reference in three.. two.. ) instant NPCs like it or not!
