snow at the pool, originally uploaded by nobleviola.
We had an unexpected snow storm hit the Portland metro area Tuesday morning. Of course, it should have been expected, as our intelligence-challenged local forcasters insisted that only minor flurries would mar an otherwise pristine day. The rest of us, city governments included, forgot to use reverse psychology and assume that all hell would break loose, and the city was paralyzed with the end result that we lost our first rehearsal for the upcoming classical series concert.
It’s a shame, since we’re doing Stravinsky’s Jeu de Carte, which the orchestra has never done before, and a whole raft of Johann Strauss bon bons, which sound effortless (and are anything but), all on one less rehearsal that was intended. It’ll be fun…
