A busy Sunday

vettecatWe fit a lot into today, but fortunately it was all positive. First I went into work for a couple hours. But I had to leave midway through the afternoon b/c ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sdavido and I had tickets to a concert.
A friend of ours has resurrected some long-lost music written in a small town in Poland (I think) about 200 years ago. He and another friend managed to pull a concert together, so today was the first public performance of this music in a very long time. (More details at www.legacyofspirit.org if you're curious.) The music was quite lovely; I hope the recording they made of the concert comes out. They also had a storyteller speaking between songs to put them into historical context. Unfortunately his style was more lecturer than storyteller - I think I actually fell asleep on SD-'s shoulder during one of them. (He has comfortable shoulders.) But we were really there for the music so it didn't detract too much.
After the concert, we went into a nearby game store so SD- could look for graduation gifts for some students he's particularly close to. Picked up a couple things for us while we were there, of course. Now that it's almost summer, we really need to start having people over more often so we can play some of these.
Then we headed back for the graduation party of my parents' friends' son N-. He is such a nice kid. Really a young gentleman. Gave a sweet, heartfelt speech thanking several teachers by name for helping him along. And when we were leaving (having reached our limit on how much we could eat), he told us how much he appreciated our being there. And he meant it, too. I really hope he has a good experience in college and doesn't get disillusioned.
The remainder of the evening has been a domestic catch-up night - laundry, etc. Still not quite caught up from all the travelling (hard to believe that last week at this time we had just gotten back from Ohio), but hope to have the place back to normal soon.
