Somehow, I'm getting ads/personal messages/spam from all sorts of DC choruses right now advertising their various concerts - which all seem to be happening within a month of Christmas. I suppose it's a good thing that so many groups have decided to ditch the Christmas Concert formula, but all I have to do to get depressed is to look at their programs. Why do singers and conductors love so much music that sucks?

One day I hope to be ready to write about the whole two-and-a-half-year VoW experience with equanimity, if the spirit ever moves me.....

.......not for a while.
