Family Sunday

My family came on Sunday. I showed them all the cute spots on campus. It was a really nice, sunny day. I showed them Blithewood and took them down from there closer to the Hudson. And then to the Community garden to show Sima how things grow (he's gotten confused: he used to think everything grows on trees, including ravioli, and then he decided everything was machine made, and now he just doubts everything), but most of the plants have been cleared away, but there are still strawberries and mint and squash. I took them to Stargon, even though I knew that Папа would climb it, but it's so cool it was worth my teenage embarrassment. We went to a diner for lunch, which was my idea and a bad idea, since none of us can actually much deep fried food. And then we sat on the swings.
They told me to go to the American Symphony Orchestra concert with my friends and left.

and now I miss them because I realize even more now how cute my brothers are, how nice and caring my parents are and just mergenshpeilbot, mloop and strob-garrrr.

the concert was really good, though Botstein looked kinda stiff when he conducted. Hannah Rosette and I were let in because we are students, but a bunch of people had to leave due to lack of seats. We got standing spots in the VERY back at the VERY top. The first piece was by a Bard student, Conor Brown, which was pretty invigorating (David Krakauer clarinet solo), and the second by Rachmaninoff, which was a bit boring at times. We left during the intermission and missed a Beethoven.
