I can’t believe summer is nearly over. We had so little hot weather, and already it’s starting to cool down. This summer was way too short!

But then, if I really think about it, I think the hottest day I’ve experienced this summer was when Tina and I were driving home from Portland, going down the I-5, stuck in the rush-hour crawl at Portland, and we were so hot I thought I was going to melt. Of couse we didn’t melt because I’m here to tell you about it.

That said, I am going to continue bemoaning that summer is almost over.

Spamalot, for which I played 2nd piano with the orchestra, is done. We had 3 performances, and they all went well, and the 3rd one was absolutely spectacular. Part of me is sad that it’s over because it was so much fun.

But that also means that everything I enjoyed doing so much in the non-summer days will soon be starting up – the A Little Night Music Orchestra, Golden Ears Jazz Band, and of course, it’s time to quit cruising and start working on my next book.
