New Blog Post

It's been a long time since I blogged.  First of all, parents please stop leaving kids in hot cars.  Leaving kids or animals in hot cars is dangerous and might kill them.  I still hear of people leaving kids in a hot car even in wake of the hot car case taking place in Georgia.  The latest one I heard of today involved a woman leaving kids in the car while she was getting a haircut.  Why not bring the kids in the salon, or leave them with a sitter?  Good Samaritans broke the windows open with a hammer.  This was in Texas I believe, and it's hot there to put it mildy.  Come on.  This story pissed me off.  Especially since we have the case in Georgia going on.  Plus it seems like basic common sense to me to not leave kids or animals in a hot car.
    I also wanted to write this post to keep people updated on things.  It's been a quiet few weeks, and I don't mind that all.  I've even relaxing, exercising, eating well, continuing to work on my voice etc...  It's nice to have some breathing room for a while.  At first I was thrown off by the lack of structure, but I started re-reading Dale Carnegie's book "How to stop worrying and start living" and that has changed things.  It's important to keep busy, let go of past mistakes and change for the good.  I'm trying my best to do all those things.  Later this summer I will be in beautiful upstate NY at the Bard Music Festival at Bard College.  We are performing lots of works by Schubert and his contemporaries.  It should be a cool experience like last years festival was.  The level of musicianship is always very high at this festival.  A lot of the people involved are very talented and have done very interesting things in their lives.
  So what else?  I cannot believe how hard it is raining outside right now.  Wow!  I figured I would write more since I am currently in my car waiting for this monsoon to slow down.  It's good to have the rain because we absolutely need it.  Now it's ten minutes later and it's not raining anymore.  Okay, I get it.  Anyway, I think I'll end this here.  I'm going to play my guitar, and practice my audition rep. More opera related posts to come.  I figured I would make this one non opera.  It's good to mix it up a bit.
