Well, I’ve decided what to do. I’m going to the symphony. It should be a great concert — as one of the commenters on my previous post indicated — and it will be my first chance to see Giancarlo Guerrero, the symphony’s music-director-in-waiting, conduct. And I think I have pretty good seats. So I’m going to go.

It won’t be the first time I’ve been by myself; I attended the gala opening night on my own, because I was covering the festivities for the paper, and only had one ticket. In fact, on opening night Laura Turner Concert Hall was packed but, for some reason, I had an entire row in the side section of the floor to myself. I’m guessing the other seats were set aside for media people who covered the red carpet but didn’t stay for the concert.

My parents, meanwhile, called to offer to take me out for an early supper here in Shelbyville before I hit the road.
