Back to Bloomington for more Opera

We are taking off at noon after confirmation instruction to take in the second week of Lydia's production. You can catch it streaming at the IU Opera theater web site. The Opera stats at 8 pm EST. Henry will be home this week for Spring break followed by Lydia next week. Then it's back to beans and rice once the children return to school.

The cats are having "issues" with their schedule being interrupted which does not make sense because if a cat had a day planner it would read, "wake up...kill something and eat it...preen...social time with the human...back to sleep.

On it goes...

Basketball and Opera

Tammy and I are off this weekend to visit Henry and take in the Sycamore's last home basketball game. 30 years ago "the trees" ended the season 32-0 and would play Michigan State for the NCAA championship game. Bird vs Majic round 1. This year they are at 9-19. Tip off is 2 pm

Next up is to take in Handel's Opera Julius Ceasar at the Jacobs School of Music. This is Lydia's first role on the big stage! She'll be playing Nirena, confident and advisor to Cleopatra. She has also been the cover for the role of Cornelia.

Lydia will also be performing next Friday, March 6, on the Musical Arts stage in Bloomington. I am so blessed to have an understanding parish who is allowing us time off to visit the children and a willing able Pr. Michael Barns who will be preaching the next two Sundays.
