This campus is the perfect idyll. I wish I had thought of going to college here, the way Hillary did. This is where my grandmother would have liked me to have gone.
First of all, the birding in St. John was excellent. We saw a family of finches and a blue-green hummingbird no further than our front porch. A nest hung down right between the two french doors, perfectly placed so we wouldn't bump it openign and shutting them. We had 24x binoculars, highly recommended.
I haven't been an active listener to music in the last several years, but but Sven bought me a miniPod with a sound dock to provide it speakers. When I need to rest, the music relaxes me. It was handy on the train too(with earphones).
Some songs I know so well that I just hear a few bars and go on. Others that I think bear listening:
"Carry Me" by CSNY, "Beware of Darkness" George Harrison, "Amazing" Aerosmith,
"My Country 'Tis of Thee" CSNY(hard to find, and "Get Down Tonight" by KC and the
Sunshine Band. And of course Bach will put you in a spiritual mind.
Wish me luck in my first rehearsal today, and remembering who I am!
