Yesterday's performance of Bach's St Matthew Passion was absolutely amazing. I know it's long, and with our 90-minute dinner break it actually lasted over 4½ hours, but I'm sad people left after part 1. I've been posting on social media that they should have stayed to see the twist ending (He escaped!).
Unfortunately, with the 3pm call, travel time, and Beer Choir after the concert, I was out for 10 hours, got home at 11:30, and didn't fall asleep until 1:30. (Cassie had relief well before I got home.) I'm bloody knackered.
Today I have nothing but chores as my house hits the market later this week. Meanwhile, we're looking at this forecast with some trepidation:
Monday: Sunny, with a high near 26. Light southwest wind becoming west 10 to 15 km/h in the morning.
Monday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 14. West wind 10 to 15 km/h becoming light after midnight.
Tuesday: Sunny, with a high near 29. Light and variable wind becoming west 10 to 15 km/h in the morning.
Tuesday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 16.
Wednesday: Sunny, with a high near 28.
Wednesday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 15.
Thursday: Sunny, with a high near 28.
Sorry, just kidding. That's the forecast for where I'm traveling to this evening. Chicago's forecast looks like this:

Next post probably from O'Hare this evening. Or at least after my nap.
