Yesterday was even busier than other Mondays. It rained all day. I walked E. out to the mailbox and then she was on her own. We managed to drive Molli to work and then Ray. I spent some time reading for my class. I actually have an assignment I need to turn in Friday, as well as lots of reading to catch up on. Adrian's sweater is almost done and I might need a new project to start.

After class, I went to Porterhouse, getting there about 11:30 as they opened. I parked right in front! They gave me a nice table and I had some hot tea and, after a while, a Caesar salad. Becky arrived, even though she is recovering from a bad cold. I had the beef tips with spaghetti and mushrooms. Delicious! I took half of it to go.

My afternoon class was long and I talked too much. First, they were discussing menopause--the idea that it is more cultural than biological. Being as I was the only one in the room who has been through it, I did feel I needed to speak up. There was some discussion of blogs. And later we were talking a bit about the baby boomers and how aging will be changed. Yes, I am a boomer too. I ran out of yarn.

I picked Ray up and we waited in the car about 15 minutes for Elisa to be through with choir rehearsal. The leftovers called to me and I ate them up, sharing with Ray. Then we drove to Molli's work and waited for her a few minutes.

At home, we whipped up some chicken fried rice (I cooked the rice in the morning) and roasted sliced zucchini. Ray and I changed our clothes and we were off. Allen R. is directing August: Osage County and I wanted to audition. The play is dark humor and I look forward to it. The process was fun, but generated a little adrenaline.

Ray picked up my Dad and came back. Harriet talked him into auditioning too, so he filled out the paperwork, but will need to come back tonight. Then we zipped over to the Performing Arts Center and watched the King's Singers. They were amazing and I didn't fall asleep once. A cappella, 6 men, with some incredibly high voices, singing alone on stage for hours.

We got home about 10:30, ate some cheesecake, and went to bed.
