Be careful what you wish for

How's this for a nice gray picture?  It's been mostly gloomy this week and it rained all day today.  Had our first day off biking since Nov 17. Made a nice batch of split pea soup for dinner.  Did some Christmas shopping, at Costco and online. 

Friday we went in to Sac State to see F in scenes from the opera Pelleas at Melisande.  The students did a great job, but thankfully the performance only lasted an hour.  The chairs were uncomfortable and the scenes they did were all recitative (maybe the whole opera is that way) and the piano accompaniment (played by a fantastic pianist) was doing something difference from what the singers were doing. Afterwards went to Letherby's for ice cream, and F and her friends also must have skipped dinner because they all ordered food as well. Oh! My! Goodness! Letherby's was a new experience for me! Talk about ridiculous and excessive amounts of ice cream!  I still have some of my milk shake in the freezer.
