Bernstein & salted caramel

Am pleased that the funeral of state yesterday went smoothly--my reward was sleeping in and this happy pink box with a salted caramel cupcake inside.

The Symphony last night was also a delight--from the Chichester Psalms

(which I got to sing with the Napa Valley Symphony mannnnnny years ago) to the glorious bit based on Auden's Age of Anxiety, it was an evening of aural loveliness.  I had not read this poem by Auden and was unsuccessful at finding at a bookstore today, but will keep searching.  Bernstein read it when it was first published in the mid-1940s and was so enthralled with the images, he composed this piece.
