WOLFE, MARLOW, & WINTERS FAMS + TESSA + CATY

I started to have the vague worry that whatever is happening to all of us with the other lives we're dreaming and experiencing might somehow latch itself onto Zoe. I asked her about it this morning in the best way I thought I could without really alarming her and she didn't seem to know what I was talking about. She's a smart kid, so I think that if it was happening, she would have connected the dots there. But, I told her that if she does have tough or strange dreams that she should come to me or another grown up she trusts, which I figured could be any of you.

Basically, if you recognize her mentioning anything odd or peculiar when you might be spending time with her or babysitting, I know that I probably don't have to actually ask you to tell me? But I wanted to let you know that it's on my radar and I'd appreciate the other eyes and ears.

Have nothing to do on Wednesday evening? You should probably consider 80 minutes of pretty fine music (if I do say so myself) as we perform Beethoven's Fifth at the Anthem.

Please note that I'd like to hear everything about your weekend.

ZOYA

Hi, Zoya. I was wondering if you'd like to have lunch or dinner with me sometime?

I'm asking Zoya to food.

ICYMI, Friday morning's interview with Dunhaven's own Wolves of Winter is now up and streaming on the website. I'll let you decide who was more starry-eyed: me, or Kiera?

BRIDGET

What's a song that you always have to get up and dance to, no matter where you are or what you're doing?

I've been watching the news about the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and their strike this past week and it's a bit fascinating. I won't get too into it, because it can be a delicate sort of situation, but I hope it results positively and with some steps forward in our community. Musician salaries have been a hot topic lately and I'm always happy to see some fairness and only marginally because, you know, I like having a savings. 🙃

Anyway, I know that having the CSO striking is unfortunate for ticket holders and some see it as waving our world's dirty laundry in public, but if it makes change, then I'm all for it.

Also, happy Saint Patrick's Day!

GRANTS + ELIJAH + OCEANA

Sarah was the one that asked for an update, but I figured that I would end up giving one to all of you eventually and this gets the job done.

So, an update: The date went very well. I wore that red dress I never get to wear. I even wore heels. He was very charming. Like, ridiculously charming. I'm going to see him again. 👍🏻

I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to wait some arbitrary amount of time before doing this because Seventeen magazine told me as much when I was a teenager, but I've never been really good at following the rules. I had a really nice time.

ELIJAH

I I had

Since obviously no one has figured out how to stop these dreams and memories, what are some distraction techniques that work best for you all?

Ohhh, this brings me joy and jealousy.

And if you're not as enamored by violins as me (which is just silly if you're not, because 300-year-old Stradivarius), I instead offer you a picture of my most handsome and best guy: ( Cut for image! )
