Today for the first time in several months, we had a volunteer work day at CHM’s Shustek Center in Milpitas. In the morning period we didn’t do a heck of a lot, except to exercise the volunteer-use PCs, which hadn’t been booted in months. Each one had to be fired up and get its Windows updates done. But mostly we just chatted with each other about what’s been happening with us and with CHM. Then adjourned for lunch at Eric’s, as of old. Then I had to leave instead of working the post-lunch period, because I had an event to run back at CH.
This was a performance by the Kara singers, a choral group sponsored by Kara grief support, a Palo Alto organization. I was thinking ho-hum more Christmas music but when they were warming up my ears perked up. This was a bunch of serious adult singers, well led and with sophisticated arrangements. They were really good. Unfortunately the only time they could give us for a concert was 3:30 on a Thursday afternoon, so only about 40 people turned up to listen, but the music was excellent.
I should have spent some time editing the video of the holiday concert but I didn’t. That can wait for tomorrow.
