I think we all know that the days of sitting outside in the sun all day are numbered, at least for this New England girl. I usually get some pretty rotten seasonal depression.

What’s that you’re asking about tuning? Are you curious if I’m going to sing in tune two weekends from now when I cantor Boston College’s 150th anniversary mass at Fenway in front of 20,000 people? I think I will. At least I’ll try.

Today is the last day to help Boston Opera Collaborative Fund the Future. Getting to the end of one of these campaigns is like reaching the end of a marathon. We’re all proud of our achievements but glad that it’s done!
