Sunday: MB had gone to 3rd Life to dance. I woke when she returned, around 9:20. Gus treatments while she was gardening. Shower. Down basement for morning practices. Drums. just enough time to have some coffee and eat oatmeal, as our guests arrived.
A day of circulation. C Maj, up 3 octaves, down 2, changing to 5th position up 3, down 3, back to first position, up 2, then back down 3 to the beginning. This pattern served as a template for much of our work today. Then with alternating F# and Bb with an octave of all naturals after each. And so on. A lunch break. Quite lovely in the backyard. The Invention 1 team did some work in the afternoon. My wish is that we not perform at all on the upcoming course. I don't want to give those fuckers the satisfaction. Then more circulation, of a more improvisational nature. A rotating double circulation, and so on. We concluded just after 7 PM. No one seemed interested in dinner.
MB and I shuffled around a little, then went out to "Vinny's." Salad, broccoli rabbi, fettuccine. MB had the stuffed eggplant. More discussion of life trajectories. We took a walk out and watched some of the local sporting activity: Softball, basketball, baseball. MB offered up a pen to the softball team.
Back home, some cleaning up. Now down basement to complete the day, and get to bed on the early side.
