Jude is in the composition DMA program at Juilliard. He lives in NYC, but is a native of Texas and has been acquainting me with some of the customs and slang of his homeland. What it do!
So, it may seem like a silly notion, but at 8,000 feet you are really a whole lot closer to the sun. Though the air temp has been perfect, the sun is very powerful and can burn you just by standing at the bus stop. I definitely got some serious color on my face and arms today. But not to worry, I have invested in sunglasses and sunblock - I am good to go.
Tomorrow is the Convocation, which, for those of you from St. Michael's, is a term that invokes sheer horror and boredom. According to the Aspen veterans, it is an event where we will be united with all our fellow program comrades. Tomorrow also brings my first session in the Film Scoring Program - woohoo!

Dave,
I just got back from Denver, and I can vouch for the effects of the Rocky Mountain atmosphere on lowlanders. I nearly passed out at a dinner with Bob and Herschel and other opera folks.
The blog is good. Have fun.

Darling Nevew! Terrific to know you are now Poised for the Plunge ... Convocation, isn't that a ceremony in which you all sit there, listening to all sorts of welcoming speeches, and ... zzzzzzz ... but after that, the fun bewgins, off you go! And as for your new roommate ... what can one say but ... please pardon my French ... YeeeeeHAH!!! Love, A.M.
Nevew! Laura Mercy, one meant "the fun begins", not "bewgins" (naught but a danged typo, no hidden cleverness lurks within, alas!). But while one is at it, how did the "Incredible Hulk" soundtrack discussion go? Love, A.M.
