Adventures and Misadventures: A nice pick-me-up
http://adventures-misadventures.blogspot.com/2012/12/a-nice-pick-me-up.html
Saturday, December 22, 2012. Joe's brother sent me this video yesterday. I was laughing so hard that we had to pause it while I caught my breath so we didn't miss anything. Then, this morning we watched it again and it was just as funny, though I can't really figure out why. Maybe because it's just so ridiculous. Naturally, I have sent it to my grandparents. Happy Holidays everyone, I hope the next few days are just perfect! Saturday, December 22, 2012. December 22, 2012 at 12:47 PM. The Rest is Noise.

Adventures and Misadventures: True American Heroes
http://adventures-misadventures.blogspot.com/2012/11/true-american-heroes.html
Monday, November 19, 2012. By Raghavan Iyer. This behemoth contains absolutely zero pictures, but the recipes looked easy to follow and the ingredient list took into account North American availability, so it got added to my pile. Tonight I followed three recipes from the Indian cookbook and we had ourselves a feast. It was a fair amount of work, but the outcome was well worth it because that food was good. But back to this program. The concert started out with Copland’s. Fanfare for the Common Man.

Adventures and Misadventures: An unremarkable story about yoga
http://adventures-misadventures.blogspot.com/2013/10/an-unremarkable-story-about-yoga.html
Saturday, October 19, 2013. An unremarkable story about yoga. I decided it wasn’t worth dwelling on because yoga seemed like it could potentially be the answer to my lower backaches. But then last week, in my yoga class. So there are definite perks to going to yoga. But I will also say this. My lower back problems have completely gone away, and I believe most of that is directly related to routine stretches (in my class twice a week). And occasionally I’ll strike up a conversation with ...Each morning wh...

Adventures and Misadventures: Tuesday. February 26, 2013
http://adventures-misadventures.blogspot.com/2013/02/tuesday-february-26-2013.html
Wednesday, February 27, 2013. Tuesday. February 26, 2013. I’m always curious about the way other people spend their time. Maybe I’m looking for ideas, who knows? Enough of the preamble, let’s party. Tuesday, February 26, 2013. 6:40am- Wake up because Joe is calling me. He just arrived in Ventura, CA after his 1:00am departure from Las Vegas. I was worried he would fall asleep and crash (he wasn't worried, he’s a pro at sleep deprivation) so getting this call is a very good way to wake up. 11:30-12:30R...

Adventures and Misadventures: A cup? A CUP?!
http://adventures-misadventures.blogspot.com/2012/12/a-cup-cup.html
Saturday, December 8, 2012. Last year for Christmas I sent my grandparents the most ridiculous movie I had seen all year. Then she laughed at me for a long time. There were a series of quotes included with the useless stuff they sent, and Joe and I are having trouble coming to an agreement on what one of the quotes means. These children don't need a cup, they need a cow.". This was said, in who knows what. Quickly, last night Joe and I saw Arcardia, the Tom Stoppard play, at UNLV. I go with the utensil a...

Adventures and Misadventures: Confessions of a Renegade Harpist
http://adventures-misadventures.blogspot.com/2013/09/confessions-of-renegade-harpist.html
Friday, September 27, 2013. Confessions of a Renegade Harpist. Lately I’ve become an inadvertent “on-call” harpist for a particular conductor. His method of organization baffles me. Often times I will receive a surprisingly calm email from him asking me to play with an ensemble later that week. The harp part is written in the score for all to see, it doesn’t have to be excavated or viewed with special glasses. So, at the beginning of the season when he selects the music for the year, that. In years past ...

Adventures and Misadventures: Wilson Phillips
http://adventures-misadventures.blogspot.com/2013/10/wilson-phillips.html
Sunday, October 6, 2013. Tonight I touched Wendy Wilson's hand as she bent down from the stage. I also touched Carnie Wilson's hand, which was incredible, but the real rush came from Wendy. This all happened about half-way through the concert when they invited the audience to come up to the front and dance. Never in my life has anyone had to ask me twice if I wanted to dance, the answer is always YES! Chynna, Carnie, Wendy during the encore. What is my favorite Wilson Phillips song? Let my enemies devour...
