This will be mercifully short so as to not interfere with your Sunday. The big AAS Gala is this afternoon. The school has made buses available from the three housing areas so that no one has to drive. UNLESS, you have volunteered to play Christmas music as folks arrive, then it is up to you to figure out how to get to the Lotte Hotel with your instrument, music stand, music, shoes and other junk. A taxi would have cost far too much for such a short distance and walking to the Metro and making two connections and then another walk to the hotel was out, SOOOOOO I drove Cindy. It was a harrowing little trip in which I made not one, not two but three illegal U-turns in order to get her there and me back to the apartment. On the third U-Turn some guy followed me and he was pulled over by the police. Thank goodness for Red DIP plates. I got Cindy there in ten minutes and it took about twenty-five for me to get back since you can’t make left turns anywhere in Moscow. I’ll hop on the bus from here and that should be a lot more relaxing. Can’t wait to see what route they take!
Dinner was fun last night since I had already made the ratatouille. For Cindy, I added a poached egg and for me some fried sausage. We had taken a little walk and got some fresh bread so it was a simple but enjoyable evening. This morning I used the rest of the bread to make some French toast with real maple syrup, which took the edge off the cold. I shouldn’t complaint since it was 20 degrees this morning and it was great to get in a longer walk while Cindy ran.
So, off to the Gala to listen to my sweetie play music and hopefully to dance a little. Details at dawn! Cindy and Wm
