Loveliness

I just wrote a long polemic against the contemporary music concert that I'm playing in today, but then thought better of publishing it once I remembered the professional risk I'd be taking (you never know when the music director is going to google your name) and also reconsidered sounding like an angry old codger.

So instead of complaining about terrible orchestra music that sounds like a piano being tipped over, here are some things that I find particularly lovely this morning:

-Owen waiting in his crib for someone to get him up so that he can climb onto his rocking horse and sing the ABCs to himself with an enormous grin over and over again at 7 AM

-The blast of fully functional central air conditioning kicking on in a hot car

-A completely green college quad at 11 AM on a Sunday morning with pretty girls in sunglasses lying in the grass and a couple of guys throwing a frisbee around

-A tall cup of coffee and several hours worth of books to read

-Geese looking half-asleep on the lake
