Enga mellom fjella

A concert, a blood test, a massage.

mi mi mi...

The writing group gathered last night. I was even prepared, but I guess only one person has the key and he didn't show... Frustration by all? Yep. They need a second key-holder.

So, I went to the concert. Over 60 kids with recorders doing Brahms' "Hungarian Dance". The symphony followed. They did music from the Hobbit (with a video backdrop) and Game of thrones.

The Big Band was best though. Ticos don't seem to have much interest in strings ... but brass? Hell yes. Plus it was rock music and music that swings. They have a very good drummer, trombones, trumpets, clarinets and a great solo clarinet player. Awesome. Also liked the singer who sang "Vivir mi vida" (check out Youtube ... Marc Anthony).

Very nice event although Ticos believe in intricate discourse and therefore become long-winded (and many times boring as "more words" spun eloquently and repetitiously is the vogue).

I went for the music ... and because I was there, dressed for the occasion, had the money ($7) and wasn't looking forward to being bored otherwise.

A good evening.

In other snews: yes, I'm taking notes every day and writing every day and been too busy and worn out (not feeling good) to post.

Also, my INR (warfarina, coumadin, rat poison) was 1.5 (it should be between 2 and 3) so I'll have to increase dosage. Not a problem. It cost $10 and I had the results in less than an hour! I was impressed.

A final note: had a massage ... (shoulders and feet). Woe is me.
