I have been grumbling about how my job was bludgeoning my social life (and cultural life), but taking a step hither, I realize that the damage isn't quite as bad as I thought.
- I have been eating my way around the city with friends, including Kevin, Vincent, Weldon, John, Jonas, and Lyn.
By the way, why Kevin and Vincent aren't blogging is beyond me!
- I have started joining my German co-worker on cross-country flights in the single-engine planes that we love so much. Our first flight was to the gold-mining town of Columbia, California. Stay tuned, as I will report about our adventure in my next entry. Next flight: Lake Tahoe Airport!
- I just chose 13 performances at Davies Symphony Hall for the 2006/2007 season. Last night was my first visit with friends, where Joshua Bell tried to dazzle us with his watered-down Hollywoodish cadenzas (unsuccessfully). Sorry, you get a C+, buddy.
- I have met a few more classical musicians as I traverse the local music scene. I could gush for days about how deeply enriching my growing interest in modern classical has been.
- Kevin and I are going to try out the newest restaurant in the Castro, Barracuda. Hello, Pomegranate Glazed Stuffed Quail, nice to meet you!
I skipped Folsom Street Fair and this weekend's Fleet Week in San Francisco, and I've lost touch with most of my old acquaintances. Yet, I'd say that I am maintaining that delicate balance between the sphere of work and the sphere of life.
I will be adding an embedded media player to introduce all visiting Xangans to different classical works. I will politely set autoplay to off, but I would like everyone's feedback and opinions about whether it's acceptable to set a media player's autoplay on Xanga blogs to on.
