Eve of Departure

Tomorrow to America.  It is caught in the cloud of the upcoming audition which will hit in about a week.  Rumble, rumble, rumble.

In preparation for departure, I successfully used the conbeni to print and copy some music.  This is a triumph after the last clunky attempt to do such a thing.  No confused Japanese clerks, no need for the helpful English-speaking kami.  I did it all on my own!  Who needs Kinkos?  I'm empowered with the convenience of Japan!

And so tomorrow, with my scores and my cello and a large suitcase, I will go to the bus stop, to the airport, to the skies, and to San Diego.  Up and away.....
