24 December 2012

I slept well last night and got up early enough for a pretty good walk this morning. It seemed slightly warmer out there than other recent mornings, perhaps because of less wind.

I taught one 2-unit class this morning, 10:00-11:30. It's a class of 3 guys who work for Canon in Poland, but one was absent today. I have at least one class every day this week, mostly single-unit lessons with one student in Moscow who told Berlitz she really liked my teaching!

We ate lunch at Barbis, where we both had soy burgers. Then we went over to Greg and the Ice Park & Mall and had ice-cafés, as well.

This afternoon and evening, I got some more work done on my piece for strings. I moved over to the newer computer for this work because it has slightly faster processor which will allow for a slightly bigger orchestra if needed. I also used my new headphones so that I can both more accurately edit the many parameters that affect the sound and assess the balance better. I think I have already made some significant improvements.

Our friends, Moshe and Bob, are out of town tonight and tomorrow night, so I am feeding their 4 cats and cleaning out their litter boxes. They have already done this for our cats several times when we were away, so it's about time I returned the favor. They recently moved from just down the street from us to one of the 3 tallest buildings in town, near the big kikar. They have an apartment on the 12th floor with a breathtaking view of most of Eilat and ALL of Aqaba!
