This afternoon/evening we visited a former assistant/friend in Ithaca, NY - home to both Ithaca College and Cornell University. It was a little strange for me to be around college campuses that aren't my own. But something pretty funny (well, I think it's funny at least) happened. One of the male core members I was with REALLY had to go to the bathroom, and it was a far walk to the music building where we were going to explore in a few minutes. So, I asked a random college guy to swipe me into his dorm. He did. And thus I ended up in an underclass-male-dorm-bathroom with my 51 year old friend, and his walker. A few guys came passing through, all with the same confused look on their face - I just smiled and laughed at myself. My pal shook his head when he came out of the stall and said "wow...funny honey!" Ha! After eventually making it to the music building, we gave this piano practice a small audience. I hope he didn't mind. There was something quite powerful in this big auditorium only being filled by him on stage and us in the back row - with nothing but the intricate story his music told in between. Later on, we went to a local coffee shop, called gimme coffee!, and the barista made my latte with a little extra love...to warm my body and soul. In upstate NY it was only 49 degrees tonight!
