It was an absolutely perfect weekend with my friend Georgia in Austin. She was so kind to open her home to me, and we only stopped talking twice...the two times we were in church. My friend John Erickson suggested I visit St. Mary's Cathedral for mass, so that is where we spent our Sunday morning. John's good friend, Philip Baker, is organist there. The choir sang well, and of course Philip played well. Sunday evening was quite interesting and a first for me. We visited St. David's Episcopal for the Compline service. I couldn't imagine a better way to end the day. The small choir was quite good, and the candlelit atmosphere surely helped the handful of listeners focus our minds and hearts on the texts and prayers presented.
Now I must give kudos to Georgia for her driving. Cruising down 6th Street in her Porsche Cayman was the best...and you've not lived until you experience a "little dance" in the Cayman.
Tomorrow I plan to observe Dr. Pam Elrod's rehearsal at SMU. I'll be in Kansas City this weekend, then back in Dallas for a brief time before heading out to California and Utah for an extended time of study and observation. Have a great week, my friends. You are always on my mind. (Sorry...couldn't resist the connection to Willie and Austin)
