resonantHuh. From the way other people are reacting to me, I gather that I'm in a bad mood. Doesn't feel like one from the inside, though.
To make up for it, two random things I learned tonight at choir:
1. One of our tenors, with his daughter as a navigator, has sailed a small boat all up and down the Atlantic coast. The sextant that he used once belonged to another parishioner, a retired professor of musical composition.
2. This church is the second one on this site; the first one burned down many years before I came to town. Some of the music was rescued from the ruins of the old church. It's crackly like paper that's been wet and dried, and it still smells very faintly of smoke.

Date: 5/4/07 04:59 am (UTC)Hmm. Try asking yourself these questions...
1) Am I absently scrubbing blood from beneath my fingernails?
2) Are people in my general area emitting little whimpers and scrabbling to get out of reach?
3) Am I missing any edged weapons that might be inconveniently portable?
4) Are my front teeth dry and sticky from being bared for the last 7 hours?
This is the list I use when I suspect I have been too grumpy. If your answers are all "No", then you just know a lot of over-sensitive people.
But seriously - hope things even out. I was fascinated by your description of the old music that had survived the fire.

Date: 5/5/07 02:25 pm (UTC)I was feeling like, hey, little bit drowsy, don't really have a lot to say so I won't say anything, and after a while it began to dawn on me: Hey, people are trying to start conversations with me, and then they're sort of trailing off and wandering away. Huh.
