Color Run

I feel as if I have been a bit neglectful of you, my dear readers, this year. I have thought of posting more, but somehow it does not seem to eventuate into anything that you get to read. I could use the excuse of being busy. Which, I have been, but still. I could also say I assumed you would not be interested in the busyness, but who knows, perhaps you are fascinated by my schedule of go to work, go for a run, teach some kids piano, go to work, and so on and so forth.

A cute black kitty named Minnie is helping me write this today. She torn between walking on the keyboard and simply attacking my fingers because they are moving. So I should not be held responsible for any spelling errors :)

A recent fun addition to the busyness that is my schedule is rehearsals for Mary Poppins. Last night I got to attend the choreography rehearsal and be their live music for the major dances. We had a lot of laughs, between my wrong notes and their missteps, but it is also fun to see how it is all coming together. They did mention that maybe saying I could pick the speed was unwise on their part, as by the time we were done they felt it was quite a bit faster than they were used to. However, the choreography director's response was "Let's do it again!" so maybe it was good after all! The adorable young man who will play Michael (he's 9 years old) snuck over and asked if I could just secretly play it even faster :)

Anyway, to get to what this post was meant to be about: we had a rare sunny weekend and I was able to take advantage of the nice weather. Sunday morning was the annual color run down the Coastal Walkway. We started out at East End Surfclub, and ran 5k down the walkway to the port. Along the way we got wonderfully doused in color. So much that I am still trying to scrub some of it off, and my running shoes will likely forever be rainbowesque!  It was great fun though, and my co-runner decided she will happily join me in future silly events.
The best part of the run was arriving at the port where the monthly craft and food market was in full swing. We got Turkish for lunch and enjoyed a browse through the stalls.

Hope all is well in your world and will (hopefully) write again soon!
