Aside from a grocery run on Monday, for us and the cats, we've been home and leading quiet lives all week. I've been practicing, reading, and listening to my LP collection, along with the Haydn/Brahms/Britten project. Now that my records are organized again, I've decided to play them all. I've heard considerably less than half of the collection, so this is a pretty major project. Deb has been making films, winning awards, and we've both been doing some gaming. I lost a very close game of MECCG last night.
Monday was an all-day snowstorm, setting a record for that date, and for the month of November. We received about 7". It was pretty as it fell, but by the next day the leaves had resumed falling, and so it now looks totally surreal outside, with the snow mostly covered by dead leaves. Tuesday was a record cold temperature day, shattering records everywhere. It would have been cold for January, never mind November. Today we made it up to 0 C, and tomorrow it's supposed to go above. We have a small trip planned to Leamington tomorrow, to visit an antique mall, and then go out for lunch. We should be home early in the day. Deb hasn't been anywhere lately, choosing to stay home even when I was in Sudbury for four days. We were supposed to go to Ann Arbor by train on Tuesday. However, Ann Arbor received 11" of snow Monday, and Tuesday, as I said, was record cold. So our tickets lapsed, and the trip is postponed. Trains were running quite late that day, anyway.

Philip Adamson has announced the 6th recital in his Beethoven Sonata series, for Sunday, December 1st. Deb has a medical appointment at 1:30 that afternoon, and the concert begins at 2:30. We will likely be late. She also has a laser procedure coming up Nov. 22nd, and likely two more after that one. Then we can start the process of getting her heart problem refixed. Someday she will be perfect once again, and will be known as the 6 million dollar woman.
