Turned in my paper yesterday. Either I did a fine job, or I flubbed everything and should have written it in a completely different way. We’ll see.

We saw Fiddler on the Roof last night at the CAC. Believe it or not, I’d never seen it before, so it wasn’t just good, it was also something new to me. Next week we see Ani Defranco. Then nothing until January, when we see Cirque Dreams, Bring in ‘Da Noise, and Branford Marsalis. I’m actually impressed with the University Arts Series this year. There’s some good stuff.

I have to say that it’s really nice to have money to do things like that. All those years of watching the account balance hover dangerously near zero, it’s lovely to realize that we can afford to do fun things every once in awhile. Of course part of it comes from the fact that our vacations are things like visiting museums in DC or driving to Cincinnati to hang out with friends.

Of course if we curbed my book buying and gardening impulses, we’d have even more money, but I’m not willing to go that far.
