Let us go forth, the tellers of tales, and seize whatever prey the heart longs for, and have no fear. Everything exists, everything is true, and the earth is only a little dust under our feet. — W.B. Yeats<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sounds like a good thing for just before a tale in two realms. <\/p>\n

Whirlwind couple few days. <\/p>\n

Saturday was my self-inflicted night of non-mandatory-fun: I went to see the Albany Symphony at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall. <\/p>\n

After I clocked out of work, I changed into my fancier attire. This was totally worth the stunned looks of some of my coworkers. Very very funny. As I said to the manager “I clean up good.”<\/p>\n

The concert was excellent. Three shorter pieces in the first half: a newly commissioned piece “violent, violent sea”; a john Williams piece commissioned in honor of the Boston Symphony’s retiring harpist who was in Troy to play it; and a Stravinsky piece. The could have left the latter at home. The first two were good- although I expected something more crashing and booming from violent violent sea. I wondered if I’d misheard what should have been violet, violet sea. <\/p>\n

Beethoven’s 7th was wonderful. The conductor had explained that he went with beethoven’s time direction which made parts of it faster than most recordings. <\/p>\n

Tonight it was work-related meeting. Not half as much fun. <\/p>\n
