Mother's Day aero press coffee and Victor Sawa

William made Margaret a really cool card and we got her the new aero press coffee system she'd heard so much about. It makes a very good cup of espresso. Now it's back to bed for a mid-morning nap for her. Nick is out and hasn't brought a new present... yet.

Last night we went to the Beethoven symphony. It is Victor Sawa's last night of conducting for the regular series, although I know he'll be back for our event on October 16. It was a huge crowd, both on stage and off. They brought 100 vocalists in for the 9th Symphony. Pretty cool. At the well catered reception afterwards, I had a terrific conversation with Jeff Looysen.
