winter? what winter?
Like a good Berliner, I have the window open. (Germans LOVE fresh air.) I've just come back from walking around my neighborhood, looking into a few shops I walk by often but never go into. The stores have their front doors propped open; people are sitting outside cafes drinking coffee and eating Indian food and döners. According to weather.com, it's 55 degrees Fahrenheit in Berlin today. The piece of sky I can see out my window is clear blue with nary a cloud in sight.
How's them snowdrifts treating all y'all in the Midwest?
Last night I went to a concert at the Philharmonic. One of the teachers at my school got me free tickets. There was a small orchestra accompanying a solo violinist, and the whole program was Mozart. The soloist was a lady who could have been anywhere from 56 to 72, with brown curly hair and a shock of it on top dyed blond. She was wearing a bright fuschia dress with black sequins, and fuschia and green stilettos. She was amazing. I always think, when watching a performer like her, how fascinating it is that there could be that much music contained in one human body. The best ones never use sheet music. I wonder what it's like to be full of that many concertos and sonatas and symphonies.
