I'm back

After a fast-paced February, March has been exactly what I needed and wanted it to be: restful. Earlier in the month, I spent a day at the Dallas Arboretum. While there, I attempted to categorize and make sense of all my journal scribbling from the past few months. It's a work in progress. I don't think I can necessarily process everything until I start putting some of it to use over the next few months. The past two weeks were spent on a beach--reading, relaxing, and sipping on ...um...wonderfully cold drinks. Now it's time to face reality. With Holy Week quickly approaching, I'm reacquainting myself with the anthems I'll be conducting. If you are in the Dallas area this weekend, please consider attending the St. Andrew Chancel Choir's spring concert, Haydn's Paukenmesse (Mass in Time of War). They have worked so hard, and I'm very proud of them. The concert is Sunday, April 5 at 7 p.m., in the St. Andrew sanctuary. Terry Metzger is conducting.
