Hey All! I'm writing you on yet another beautiful spring day in Frankfurt. Brenda is back from New York and got over her jet lag with no trouble at all. It helps when trips across the ocean are short; you don't have a chance to get fully adjusted to the new time zone. Since being back in Frankfurt, Brenda has sung her final performance of Die Entführung aus dem Serail and has begun rehearsals for Wagner's Die Feen. Brenda will also be starting rehearsals for La Clemenza di Tito this week. We have about 2 1/2 weeks left in Frankfurt until we fly to Glyndebourne for the summer, and Brenda is going to be very busy up until we leave.
I always feel bad when I don't have pictures for my blog entries so, since we didn't take any pictures during the past week, I decided to take a few snapshots around the apartment.
A beautiful piece of artwork that my ridiculously talented wife made.
Our new puzzle light cover in our living room.
Putting it together is half the fun.
Our kitchen table.
You may have noticed the flying saucer-like object with the apple on it in the last picture. That is our food scale. I mention it because it has become an everyday part of my life. That's right, I'm on a diet and have been since the middle of January (with the exception of my 2 weeks in the US - those were definitely not diet weeks). Early on in the diet process I found a website and iPhone App called MyFitnessPal. I told it how much I wanted to lose and how quickly, and it told me how many calories I can eat in a day. So far things have been going pretty well, although every time I lose a pound I expect to look at my stomach and see a six-pack. Surprisingly that hasn't happened yet.
Brenda just called and is on her way home from rehearsal so that is my cue to bid you all adieu. I hope you have a great week, and I'll talk to you next Tuesday!
