stormy Saturday

Last night I was amused at the clothing many people at Orchestra Hall were wearing. In Ann Arbor dressy clothing often means blue jeans without holes and a clean t-shirt. In Detroit things are usually a bit dressier, with a clean dress shirt/blouse, nice dress slacks/skirt, and a nice sweater or jacket. Last night, possibly because it was the opening weekend of the classical music season, many women were wearing floor length evening gowns and many men were in tuxedos. It was very nice, and I was glad I wore my nice pants suit made of black lace.

Since it was opening weekend, they were walking around with trays of free glasses of wine and grape juice, and there were tables set up with free food in the lobby before the concert. That was classy, too.

And Lang Lang was just marvelous!

Today we were watching the University of Michigan football game on television. The game was delayed because of rotten weather. Since the Big House is only something like ten miles away, we looked out of the window. It was cloudy but didn't look too bad...but about fifteen minutes later it started storming like crazy! The storms didn't last very long, but were intense while they went through. It is now rather chilly. Fall is here!

Tonight Steven had his season opener for soccer. He played well, but his asthma was bothering him. This was the first time in nearly a year that he had to use his inhaler. That was certainly worrisome.
