40 years, that's a lot of beers (22/365b)

no violin lesson for theodore today, since his violin is toast. i got the morning off and just hung out with mary, which was very nice.

conflict resolution
and
tantrum mitigation

between a illogical tantrum (are there any other kinds?) and the trio concert i was going to there were 20 minutes, *in which i made a cake* ... sometimes i can be super fast.

Instead of quintet rehearsal, we 4 went to watch Sophia play the Tchaikovsky piano trio. They played wonderfully.

they didn't stop moving, and i didn't have many opportunities to take pictures because i was busy listening

and because there was no lindy hop class tonight, and because mary's leaving tomorrow, we celebrated mary and henry's joint  birthday a few weeks early. a new birthday canvas was started. 

it was getting dark!

mary's age + henry's age = 40
thus the 4 on the cake. a tealight stands for 0.
singing: "we wish you a long long life!"

we just have to finish the canvas tomorrow before 10am when mary has to leave to get the train.

we won't stay up too late tonight, right?

not even if there are shostakovich trios to sight read? mary playing the ciellolin (the violin being held like a cello)
