I'm up late doing taxes, cleaning, collaging. No surprises there. I do have a few distractions.

There is nothing quite like listening to a bunch of your old classmates singing Pablo Casals's "O Vos Omnes" for an hour or two. (Casals set part of Lamentations 1:12 in Latin to music. It's very meaningful that Casals chose that text -- if you know a little of his life story.)

o vos omnes, o vos omnes qui transitis per viam,
oh, all you who pass by along the road:
attendite, attendite, et videte,
look and see,
si est dolor, si est dolor,
whether there is any grief
sicut dolor meus.
such as my grief.
