Beatlemania

Today was a day devoted to music. Maya had a concert to celebrate the end of the chamber camp week, with performances by each of the chamber groups, as well as the Junior and Senior orchestras. The children did well, having learned alot this past week, and being remarkable musicians anyway. Maya insisted on staying for the entire concert so she could eat the brownies I made first thing this morning. Most of the snacks brought by parents were bought in the store, so the brownies were special, and Maya did not want to miss them.

We then went to 'Belvedere Square' for dinner and a Beatles tribute band. For Maya the Beatles have little significance, except that she had heard the song 'Revolution' before. The fans were noticeably older than the usual crowd, and children and grey haired folks were dancing in front of the band. It was fun and nostalgic and perhaps Maya learned something about a very different sort of music. We came home and looked for Beatles tunes on Youtube.

I did not work today. I have no patients next week and do not have the chutzpah to call all my past clients up to suggest appointments. I will just wait until they come to me, I will not solicit anyone. They may not need me, or may not want to see me or change psychiatrists, so I feel odd to 'cold call' them and suggest contact.

I took a marvelous yoga class and met Sid for sushi and discussed a yoga trip to the jungle. I thought of going back to school and choosing another career, not entirely out of medicine, but something in a parallel universe. However I must work to catch up with bills from last year, and working is a necessity not a choice, so any crazy ideas about returning to university and working for the WHO or UNHCR is fantasy. I bought a lottery ticket just in case I can create more choices for myself. More fantasies.
