I'm not going to say too much about this past weekend, save that it flew by way too quickly!
Friday came, and I picked up RQS in Marian mode, as it would be the only day I'd be able to present as a female until next week. After a night's rest, we decided to go out and see Ennio, the documentary about the great movie score writer, Ennio Morricone. RQS used to make jokes about this man's name (nothing nasty, just cute), but now she knows how respected he is in the music world. If you haven't had the chance to listen to this man's music, you must be living in an impermeable bubble. From scores for "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" to "The Hateful Eight", Morricone has proven himself to be a composer in the same league as Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms. So, if you can, see this documentary - it will open your eyes to the greatness of this man in the world of music.
Sunday was very different, as we met TCL for dinner in her neighborhood. Yum! What more can I say? Only one bad thing I can say - the restaurant isn't closer to me. We could have chatted a bit longer, but all of us were getting tired after 2 1/2 hours of chatting at the restaurant. All too quickly, Monday came, and RQS had to go home. I accompanied her to Grand Central, then departed to pick up my taxes. Now, I don't have to worry about this task anymore. Yet, I missed seeing the eclipse. That's not such a bad thing, as I'll have 20 years to prepare for the next one.
