Rhythm

Already a productive morning. Wrote an aria that is very nice melodically but boring as hell rhythmically, so need to fix that later this morning. Progress is slow but sure so far. This piece will find its own length. I don't want an intermission, so I am guessing between 30 minutes and an hour.

Interestingly enough, if the gods grant me time to finish this, I know the next chamber opera I want to do, an idea that's been on my mind for years, indeed decades, that I dealt with first in a history play as a graduate student, i.e. McKinley's dream. But first things first. I have as much as I can handle here.

Need to get to the store today to get the makings for scrapple. It's scrapple weather for sure.

Busy and mellow at the same time. I like it.
