The weekend, I mean. It was there, and I remember trying to grasp it and hold onto it, and then ::poof:: it slipped through my fingers.

Time is like that, I guess.

Saturday would have been a sleep-in-and-rest kind of day if we hadn’t been signed up for a rabbit show… in Vermont! Yup, we hauled our cookies and several rabbits all the way to Vermont just to have their little hearts and hopes CRUSHED and DASHED by what can only be described as much better rabbits. Yes, we spent more than two hours in the car (each way) just to get our asses kicked. Oh well, that’s life in the rabbit biz! :)

Sunday was much better. This was the day of my planning. It involved sleeping a little later than usual — I probably got up at 5:30 — and then working on my little project ::wink::wink:: and then cooking some eggs and then helping with some farm things outside until it was time to get ready… to go… to the opera!

We saw La Clemenza di Tito, one of Mozart’s lesser-known works… though I’d swear I’d heard that overture before — does anyone know if it’s similar to some other of his works? There were a couple of male roles in this opera — Sesto and Annio — well now that I poke around a bit I read that these are breeches roles which were once played by men with high voices and are now played by women. So voices were in their intended ranges, but that made it hard to tell by ear who was singing. And when you’re reading the projected supertitles, you do a lot of listening. So I guess it was as it should be and I’ll stop complaining about it. The production, in spite of having been modernized just a touch (of which I disapprove), was really nicely done and very enjoyable.

After a nice dinner at a restaurant down the street, we claimed our car from the parking lot and headed home.

It was a blur, like most weekends. I guess I’m glad I can write it all down. This way I can look back and say, yeah, there really was a weekend! :)
