Last night was my night for rehearsals. Anyone that reads this (or should I say if anyone reads this) they know that usually is a great night for me as I get to do something really fun and be with people that are smart and talented and amazing to be around. We always have fun and it's always energizing but last night we were perhaps a little more crazy than usual. Seems everyone was in the mood for laughing. Heck, even Suzanne the pianist.. who usually is so quiet and demure couldn't help herself..she was cracking up. Although we were a little nutty, we did get a lot of work done.

Usually we have all the sopranos to the right, all the altos to the left.. and the tenors and bases in the middle. We are at the point though that we know all our lyrics.. (well most of them.. amazing how quickly you can learn when you don't want to hold up a binder with over 200 pages of music in it for a few hours). So now we split up our groups into the people who will be playing peasants (yay!I'm going to be a peasant.. hopefully that means I can run around on stage bare feet! :-D... if you ever had to stand in one spot in high heels for 2 hours.. you'd understand and wholeheartedly agree with me) and the citizens of the future. This means we don't sit where we normally do.. everyone is mixed up with their own group.. so now all peasants are to the left of the room.. regardless of which voice group they sing.

I'm sitting in the last row and behind us are a few guys that have no chairs..they are all standing up. One guy comes up to me from behind and asks to borrow my pen.. no problem.. a while later, he comes back again and asks me again for my pen..again no problem. Then he comes up to me and sticks a piece of tape on my shoulder. Everyone is having fun..so I think this is funny and just laugh and take it off.. and then he comes back again to look at my music .. the alto sitting two down from me .. does a motion with her eyes.. to show me he's taking a peek at my cleavage. D'uh.. It never dawned on me that from his vantage point he could get a pretty good view. I wasn't sure if I was to be insulted..or proud that he thought they were worth peeking at! Anyways.. I lifted my book over my breasts so he could get a good look at the lyrics, and the book covered my chest completely.. I gave him a smirk..and I'm pretty sure he got the message!

Every spring, after the snow melts, the town flushes out the water through hydrants in town to get rid of all the sand and grime that gets into the system through melted snow.

Last night, around midnight.. I saw the trucks pull up and as they did , I grabbed my jacket and camera and was right there with them.. I'm sure they were saying.. who is this loony lady and why is she taking pictures of us in the dark for.

Here is one where a worker is just starting to release the water.
