C's Bruised Rib & Piano Recitals

C has been skiing for nearly seven weeks now and H told me he would have good days and bad well they've mostly been good but yesterday his luck didn't hold - well it did sort of. He's gone from green (easy peasy) runs to blue which are slightly steeper, he was doing a turn when he skied over something - possibly a buried ski pole and lost control - did the "everything must go" move which entails throwing poles and skis to the four winds and went head over heels a couple of times. It was at this point that he somehow stabbed himself in the thigh with a ski pole but that wasn't the problem, the damn cellphone, which was in his top pocket collided with a rib and badly bruised it. He reported the incident to the ski patrol but someone else hit the same thing and they ended up having to be stretchered off the mountain. C is going to see the doc today and get x-rayed.

Also last night we went to a piano recital up at C and A's and A got me a seat close enough to J that I could watch her hands - wow! Talk about mesmerizing! They were moving so fast that they seemed to blur The music, Bach, Beethoven and - after a short intermission - Chopin, was fantastic. It gets inside of you, sweeps you up, resonates within you. I was blown away. What I can't beleive is that the main recital - which is next week, and the culmination of J's musical degree only counts as one hour of credit for the whole course!!!

Afterwards we had some of C's killer desserts and my C (confused - you soon will be) asked J if the Bach was written for harpsicord and she told him it was - it's gratifying to know that there are still some things I don't know about him - harpsicord expert - who knew?
