musician's december
Catherine and I are going through a frustrating season: Musicians' December. It's always a busy month for musicians. Actually, this year is slightly less busy than usual, but still it's frustrating for a relationship, especially a marriage that hasn't gone through it before.
How wonderful, then that at last we have the promise of each other, if not each other in the flesh during this season. We haven't been able to spend time together like we like to and need to do. But, though we were exhausted last night from a wall-to-wall schedule, it was sheer joy to feel her sleeping next to me all night long. I look forward to the minutes a day we get to see each other, and long for Musicians' January — the great joy of Musicians' Life — when we have togetherness like few modern Americans can buy.
