Like 4 guitars around the campfire? No, but thanks for asking. Last night at the Phoenix Art Museum, we saw a "Candlelight Concert" with the string quartet Listeso. Excellent musicianship. Two violins, a viola, and a cello. Surrounded by candles (electric) covering the stage floor, except where the musicians were standing/sitting.
Have you gone all classical on us, Jim? Nope. This concert was a tribute to The Beatles and Queen. The "set list"...
With only candles for lighting, you saw mostly the outline of the musicians...
A nice evening out. Old folks bonus: we were home before 8:30. ;-)

Our little girl is growing up. Your daughter Stephanie? No, she is nearing retirement. I'm talking about Stella...
Joan weighed her; she told me, "Just over 7 pounds."
"I can't imagine that." I weighed her: 7.2 pounds. That is a bit more than 50% bigger than she was when we first brought her home (4 1/2 pounds). And very close to half of what Murphy weighs. For the record, she has been with us about 3 1/2 months, making her 8 1/2 months old. She has more growing to do, but we are so pleased that she has put on some weight. Good nutrition, plenty of exercise, and an abundance of love - she is secure in her place in the family. She has a fun personality. And most importantly: she likes being where we are and she is becoming snuggly... she likes to sit on Joan's lap, resting her head on Joan's chest. She gives me "nose-to-nose touches" - I am very fond of that. She is playful with Murphy.
It's all going according to our plans and best hopes.

Yay! It is always good to see them happy and healthy. Stella still has some growing to do, but likely won't ever quite catch up to Murphy. I also enjoyed seeing the kitty parade a couple of days ago.
The string concert sounded like fun. Alice's flute choir has their big spring concert on Friday evening. I'm usually the ticket-taker and flute caddy, leaving "the talent" to do their thing.
Hi Earl. I think Stella will grow a bit more, but she's never going to be a "big cat." Even though she has big cat attitude. No doubt that short fur (generally not our style) doesn't add to any perception of size.
Give Alice our best wishes on her concert this Friday. Back when I was playing on the road, we had a road manager named Igor (not his real name, but that's what everyone called him) - a big guy who watched the door with a counter/clicker to keep track of ticket sales for those gigs where we contracted for a percentage of the door. You big guys have a certain presence. ;-)
