Wait For It...
Normally I'm okay with skipping the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. It doesn't have a tremendous amount of nostalgic appeal for me.
But this year I missed it dearly.
Here's why:

A Favorable Review
The KCS performance of "The Armed Man" on Saturday was reviewed in the News Sentinel. It's a bit odd, but very positive.
I wasn't able to attend the Prop 8 protest due to rehearsal getting out later than I anticipated. Otherwise everything else last weekend went off without a hitch. It was a great week.
On to the holidays...
The day after Thanksgiving I go into work at 4:15 AM. I get off at 1:00 and have to be downtown to sing at the tree lighting ceremony at 5:30. That's going to be a long day. And the next day at work isn't going to be any easier. This is that fun time of year that always sneaks up on you.
This Sunday I'll be caroling with members of the chamber chorale at West Town Mall. I think that's around 2:30 if you want to stop by and see us.

Keeping Busy
The things I'm trying to fit into the next few days keep piling on.
Tomorrow night I'm going to see the UT Opera production of Street Scene.
On Saturday I've got choral rehearsal in the morning. Then I'm going to try to swing by the Prop 8 protest at the World's Fair Park since I'll already be downtown (got an email alert about this tonight). After that is the movie meetup group (movie not yet chosen). And the KCS performance at 8:00.
Sunday I'm going to Allison's senior recital at Carson-Newman. Heading straight from there to Gatlinburg where I've got the time share for two nights.
Then it's back to work as Thanksgiving weekend (and Black Friday) draws nigh. I can't believe November is almost halfway over.
The second Rigoletto rehearsal was this evening. Have you heard this stuff? Some of it is like the fastest tongue twister ever, set to music. How many vowels can you cram onto one eighth note, seriously? It's going to come together, and it's going to be good. But this is one hell of a show for a first timer.
