Kings College Choir, Cambridge

I would love to spend Advent and Christmas attending these services, even though I rarely set foot in a church anymore. This is the only thing I miss, particularly at this tim eof year.

Seven of us are eating vegan for 14 days. It hasn't been nearly as awful as I thought it would. Seven more days.

Fall Baking

I found this recipe on Pinterest. It's fall. That means apples. And I have vanilla ice cream. Mmmm.

Maker Faire NY!

Where I'll be tomorrow. Why didn't this exist when I was a kid/budding scientist?

Snow snow snow!

I cannot remember the last time I had so many days of for bad weather. In 2014 alone it's been a total of two whole days and two half days - unheard of for state government here in NJ. But I'm not complaining!

Choral Music

Although I no longer attend church, I do miss the singing. I'm not talking about hymns, I'm talking about full on choral singing. I was fortunate to be able to spend so much time in choirs with excellent directors who had us singing some wonderful music. I am reminded of this each Sunday morning when I listen to The Choral Mix on WQXR every Sunday morning. This week's program put me squarely in the midst of the Christmas Spirit. Give it a listen.

Opera!

Excited to (probably) be getting a ticket to see Falstaff as part of the Metropolitan Opera's "Live in HD" series.
