What’s New?
Wednesday, October 25th, 2006Okay, I haven’t put anything up here in quite a while. I have a life. Sue me. Anyway, here’s a summary of my life since June.
The Lyric Opera Cleveland apprenticeship program ended with a bang. We performed the world premiere of Florida, with music by Randall Eng and text by Donna DiNovelli. Mark Adamo was in the audience and came to the afterparty. He was very nice, and had nice things to say about all of us. Very encouraging!
Once the LOC program was finished, I spent 2 weeks taking care of the mother of one of Mary’s church friends. My job was to prepare her daily medications and food and put them into her feeding machine. Oh yeah, she was on a feeding tube. That was a fun job, as I only had to check on her occasionally, and I had the run of the house all day and night.
On August 25th, Mary’s grandfather passed away at the age of 93. Mary was very close to her grandfather, and she misses him terribly.
In September Mary and I moved to Columbus, and on September 20th I officially became an Ohio State University student. Go Bucks!
Right about the time we moved, Mary had her tonsils taken out. It wasn’t a horrible recovery, but it was no picnic.
So here I am, a first-year doctoral student at The Ohio State University. I’ll write more about that some other time.
