From Saturday:

Just got back from a performance of the Cairo Symphony Orchestra at the Opera House. The main piece was Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana -- it was amazing!

I kinda organized the evening. I had been hoping to attend this performance and I convinced a couple of other people to go with me. Carmen and Mike from MCC came along, plus this young woman named Charlie.

Now I’m trying to download my email, but somebody apparently sent me a message with a big attachment, so it’s taking a long time! I hope it’s worth it…

It was a big email with a Power Point slide-show with images from the war. Very well-done pictures, but the situation still saddens me.
