The weekend.

Friday noon, we went to Greenfield Community College for a Holiday concert of the GCC Community Chorus, of which Brendon is a member. The program was a mix of anthems and carols, from the Gaudete of the 16c. Piae Cantiones to Deck the Halls to Winter Wonderland. The choir was singing in the lobby, and there were no panels to focus the sound, but they made a sweet sound. Of course Katie, Dusty and Dorothy, and Karen and Brian were also there. Nice little fan club for Brendon.

While Ellen was away, Andy Davis came and spent that time with me and helped me with supper and hydration, and other personal needs. I skipped the Friday eve news programs on PBS and spent the time talking with Andy. We spent some time listening to music too - like Kitka, which he had not heard before, and Maddy Prior, whom he knew of and had heard in the past, but had not heard the specific CD we have. We had a good time together. Saturday, I was pretty tired after a full Friday and not much sleep Friday night. So I didn't go anywhere. I could have gone to the Bazaar, but didn't. Actually, both Ellen and I stayed in bed late and listened to Friday news programs on the phone, and then I spent time either in my comfy chair by the fireplace, or in bed, dozing, or doing exercises. Ellen was mostly in the kitchen, and we listened to more music from the "Christmas Box." A quiet, restful day. Ellen did go out shopping, and I had a little time alone. I managed fine. Today, Sunday, we considered going to church and set an early alarm, but I felt sort of "woozy" when I got up and decided to stay home and attend church via live Zoom. So we had church in our living room. Later, early evening, we will go to the New England Youth Theater to see the musical Oliver, starring Desmond Amidon, Peter and Mary Alice's grandson, Stefan's son. Very musically precocious. More on that later!
