Becky and I celebrated Valentine’s Day last night by babysitting for some old clients of hers. Not to worry, of course, we have already got next weekend set aside as a belated Valentine’s gift. We are going to see Yo-Yo Ma and the Boston Symphony Orchestra premiere Tan Dun’s work, The Map. They will also be performing some works by Cage, Britten, and Shostakovich. On Saturday we will be attending some of the events surrounding this premiere. And we will be staying for the weekend at the Westin Copley Place, right in the heart of downtown Boston.

As for this weekend… today Becky’s at work for the morning, and has another babysitting gig in the evening. I’m heading down to Westwood, MA for the Cambridge SoundWorks Warehouse Sale. If they have some reasonable deals, we may end up with a new sound system… if not, no big loss.
