Long weekend

Tomorrow it's back to work after a four-day weekend. Apparently I really needed it - I spent much of Saturday in bed and generally did a lot of recharging. After a gloriously blue-sky day on Thanksgiving, it gradually clouded up and got cooler (low 50s), with rain for a good bit of today. I took the weather as a hint and overhauled my Peugeot bicycle, converting it from off-road 29er to my favorite rain bike, with 35mm tires and full fenders (details). The highlight of today was practicing violin with H, me on the cello in support. We played 6 or 7 Christmas carols that she's preparing for a group recital later this month. Her intonation was quite solid, her left hand looked good, and she really had an easy time reading though the music. Great fun.
