Church Windows

IMG_4181

We are getting some price quotes on replacing some more of our original windows. Readers of this blog will remember we replaced some of our original windows in 2008. We would get the crank out type for the kitchen and then replace the two smaller bedroom windows which don’t even really close properly anymore. We will do the windows before starting our inevitable kitchen remodel which will really just be the kitchen counter and cabinets and sink and light fixtures.

The French horn player who I know in the Philadelphia Orchestra always posts on Facebook what’s on her stand this week—what the orchestra is playing that week. They are doing Mahler’s 10th Symphony this week. I should have booked my ticket earlier to hear that one. Here’s what’s on my stand for my bone quartet gig on Saturday night: The Washington Post March, Puttin’ on the Ritz, Peacherine Rag, and Over the Rainbow. Classics of the repertoire.

Is this a selfie?

While driving someone for Neighbors today I stopped off at the Cathedral of St. Paul. I sat in the cathedral for a little meditation and then took a walk down Summit Ave.

This is neat. It is the old tunnel entrance for the Selby Avenue street car line. The street cars needed a less steep grade to get up the hill so they had to tunnel through the hill. The tunnel is now sealed up but the tracks are still there.
