2005.10.22. Museum of Glass at Tacoma. There's an exhibition of Paul Stankard's floral paper weights. Flowers completed with stigmas, leaves with veins, entangled roots, sometimes accompanied by bees with paper-thin wings. Exquisite. However some of the designs are too crowded. We also watched his demonstration. He talks a lot, tries to philosophy everything.

Went to Seattle Symphony's performance at 8pm. Another excellent concert. Soloist is Viviane Hagner. Beautiful playing and presence. Program is:

• Mozart: Overture to La clemenza di Tito, K.621
• Mozart: Violin Concerto No. 3 in G major, K.216
• Beethoven: Violin Romance No. 2 in F major, Op. 50
• Beethoven: Symphony No. 1 in C major, Op. 21

Mozart wrote that wonderful concerto at age 19. Don't remember what I was doing when I was 19. I shall just go shoot myself.
