The only bad part is my job has once again hit the point where it takes over my life. Multiple 12 hour plus shifts a week gets to you after a while. Thank heaven I had 3 days off in a row to relax and take the edge off. I did a tour of some of the wineries in the Prince Edward County with a friend and relaxed and just generally enjoyed myself.. it still didn't make going back to work on Sunday any better though.
I saw Calexico in Toronto (a great band from the Southern States with a spanish sounds (2 trumpeters in the band)), and picked up a GriGri and Carabeaner from MEC for climbing. Climbing has become quite a hobby of mine now and hopefully I will be hitting up Kingston Mills for some outdoor climbing soon. I'm also slowly acquiring the necessary equiptment to make climbing outside a good possiblility.
The thesis is pumping along at a pretty regular rate now. I'm getting enough done to feel okay about how it's going. I"m in the final stage of revisions for my thesis proposal now and soon will be able to get down to the core of actual writing the opera. All my ideas and the way I plan to interlink the scenes and dramatic actions is starting to come to fruition. I'm just waiting on Scene 5 and then I'll be able to construct an outline for the whole thing.
2 more days of work before I have 2 days and can go home for a short rest again. Hopefully work will be good the next two days as it was today (we had a 7 piece swing band on the boat).
Anyways.. Life is good. As it should be. Is your summer going as good as mine? I hope so.
