Last night, SaraRules, her mother and I headed into Aspen and saw the Aspen Chamber Symphony – conducted by David Zinman and featuring Andreas Haefliger on piano – perform Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor, op. 15 (1854-59) and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, op. 55, ‘Eroica’ (1803). We had tickets to sit inside the Benedict Music Tent, but opted to sit out on the lawn and make a picnic of it. The entire experience was quite fun.

We came back home and hung out for a while before, SaraRules’ mom called it an evening. At that point, SaraRules and I decided to watch Reign Over Me, starring Don Cheadle and Adam Sandler. I’m not the biggest Adam Sandler fan, but I think that he did an excellent job in this roll.

Today has been lazy, but we’re about to head back into Aspen to hear An Evening of Words and Music with Condoleeza Rice. Yes, that Condoleeza Rice.

And after that… we’re off to visit Doc Holliday’s grave site.
