But very soon, the wheel of life takes over again and I hit the floor running. So often, our tour schedules look like vacation itineraries (after all, we do play for a living) with airplanes, rental cars, hotels in different cities, new people to meet, new espresso shops to discover. But everything has to be ready, from passports to concert gowns.
I get the final piece for my 2012 touring frock... a feather shrug that goes with my current, royal blue bassoon superhero outfit (I previewed this gown at the CD release party on Oct 30)... I have new faux high cowboy boots from Fluvog... we have our new arrangements of Flight of the Bumble Bee and Oblivion... I have to pick up my visa from my manager and do a thousand things (including checking in with all of my orphaned students) before getting on the first airplane on January 4.

Hi Nadina,
when you say as a tonic, do you mean for pure intervals? Just wondering...
Oh, maybe I shouldn't write these things late at night!
I meant as a curative elixir, a magic potion to set everything in order. In the last few days, I am playing all major and harm minor scales slowly, full range, then in sixths and thirds, and it is very restorative.
Ah, a tonic!
Now I see it as less of such a grand enterprise, though I know it does take a while!
