Meanwhile, the orchestra also included not only generous helpings of all your usual string instruments (violin, viola, cello, double bass) but also four (! Playing continuo and numerous obbligato (think guest star) instruments like recorders, oboe, viola d’amore. This is probably the best aria, with the chalumeau:. The story so far.

Tame adventures only, please. 8230; →. New plan for fame and fortune. November 3, 2009. Previously, in college, my back-up plan went like this:. 1 write trashy thriller murder-mystery about Yale, involving secret societies, insider knowledge on the world behind the ivy-covered gate (or in the ivory tower – or whatever), bodies thrown off Harkness, etc. 2 zoom to the top of the NYT best-seller list. 3 become millionaire a la Dan Brown. 4 buy my way into the Swingle Singers. On stage appears a raggle-taggl...

Alas, alack | Tame adventures only, please
https://tameadventures.wordpress.com/2011/03/29/alas-alack
Tame adventures only, please. March 29, 2011. So while I’m wearing sweatpants and my old Christ Church sweatshirt and glasses in the middle of the day, I might as well write about Fasnacht, which was the week before last. It’s Monday-Wednesday of the. Eventually the latter was settled on, which is why the total length of my facebook fast is actually more than 40 days–poor me! 8211;but in Basel, for some reason lost in the mists of time, they stuck with the shorter Lent and later carnival. Social groups w...

That's What Redheads Are For: Our Panama Adventure
http://whatredheadsarefor.blogspot.com/2010/07/our-panama-adventure.html
Monday, July 26, 2010. We arrived in Bocas Town on Wednesday, July 14. Unfortunately, our luggage hadn’t even made it to Panama. Nevertheless, we dropped our carry-ons off at Hotel Olas and ventured out to explore Bocas Town. After returning from our final Bocas outing, Pete and I took in the island calm on the porch of our hotel. Venturing out to try one last restaurant among the many in town, we recounted all the wonderful experiences we had had and all the fun stories we could bring home with us.

Monday, November 8, 2010. My Endless New York. An ode to world cities. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). That's What Redheads Are For. Rambling on about nothing in particular, yet enlightening you nonetheless. We have multiple lives and inhabit them simultaneously. We cannot count the identities we enter and shed, apartments and villas rented and abandoned, whole houses with clothes left on hangers in closets.the records of where we docked, spent an afternoon or a decade. From Bubble to Broadway. HM Dies at 82.

Tame adventures only, please. 8220;Imagine myself as a singer…” →. September 3, 2010. The sun is setting, children are playing under my window, and tomato sauce is bubbling on the stove. It’s my first evening in Basel and I’m super excited. And when we landed in Basel, summoned my last few ounces of strength to catch the bus and then the tram to my final destination for the foreseeable future – my new apartment! It’s only a small step to becoming a tax-evading millionaire! September 4, 2010 at 5:45 pm.

Tame adventures only, please. 8220;Imagine myself as a singer…”. The story so far. October 18, 2010. How much effort will this need? And entertaining possible new students (how much money will you give me? How much hassle will you bring? And I’m still, in all my insecurity, trying to weigh my own worth against the expectations I’m meeting (oh, am I good at this? Oh no, am I terrible at that? Finally I can practice as much as I want! Practicing is still hard. I don’t always know exactly what I&#...In a fe...

That's What Redheads Are For: February 2009
http://whatredheadsarefor.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 4, 2009. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose. I’ve been thinking a lot about change and the contexts in which we engage in this process. Change, of course, is not a measurement but more of an infinite continuum. The seasons change, people change, we make change, we live through change. As TS Eliot wrote, “Do I dare / Disturb the universe? In a minute there is time / For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.”. The example I almost always use is education. Having...

Tame adventures only, please. Lent I →. I don’t want to jinx it, but…. February 8, 2011. I just had a near-to-perfect vacation day. I’ll skip to the punchline right now:. Yes, I bought new shoes, und zwar, finally, a pair of El Naturalista shoes — on sale! I’ve been looking at and drooling over this brand of shoes in many different shops since moving to Berlin, but could never quite justify forking out for them. But these were on sale! And in my size! And actually very comfortable! I barely even know wha...

That's What Redheads Are For: Travel
http://whatredheadsarefor.blogspot.com/2009/11/travel.html
Friday, November 20, 2009. While catching up on my New York Times, I came across 36 Hours in Rajasthan, India. I can't believe it's been almost three years since I traversed the route this writer recommends. In planning the next steps of my life, I hope that I make time for travel. There is nothing so perspective-granting as a visit to another culture. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). That's What Redheads Are For.
