Okay, so as of November 1, we are not allowed to park on the street because of the beginning of snow season.
Snow season came early this year - it began sprinkling earlier today and now we are in the midst of a full fledged snow storm! Going outside with the dog to play!

Act II - exeunt Tosca
As most of you already know, there is a new car in my life. About half an hour ago, we picked up Lakme, our new Honda Civic. She's a good girl, handles well, and gets bitchin gas mileage, but it made me sad to walk away from Tosca. She looked so forlorn. And then, it began to snow.
Yes, I said snow.
It didn't snow long, but I have to tell you, when an unexpected snowflake hits your glasses, it gives you a moment's pause.
So that was one part of my week. The other part of my week was going to NYC to visit my friend Sherri and to sing for the Marilyn Horne Foundation. After many initial mishaps involving the Fung Wah Bus (it's only $30 round trip and now I know why) and a large band of teenaged German tourists, I had a marvelous time with Sherri, a luscious lunch in Little Italy and, if I do say so myself, a pretty kick-ass audition. Yesterday I received an email inviting me to take part in these master classes which means:
1. they will pay for me to take the train, an infinitely more civilized mode of transport
2. they will feed me and put me up in a nice hotel across the street from the concert venue which happens to be...
3. CARNEGIE HALL!!!
That's right kids, yours truly is going to sing at Carnegie Hall. I'm still tingling - between that and the smell of the new car, I need to pour myself a drink! Hope everyone is doing well on this glorious weekend.
