John Denver Fan

Happy Spring!  We had a spectacular crab apple bloom this year but no energy or time to do our 'annual' party to celebrate it.  The best news of the spring is that it's official:  Jeremy is sleeping through the night.  Other good news is that we are cleared by the allergist to start eating fish, shellfish, and tree nuts (which means me too)!  We'll have fish and chips for shabbat dinner to celebrate. 

A taste of what we've been up to: We flew to CA recently for a wedding,  Papa came to visit last weekend,  I was interviewed on the radio,  Fran has something like 7 projects all at once, and my Conservation Biology class (40 students) is wrapping up in the next week.  All wonderful things, and all keep us busy and out of trouble.

Music-wise, Jeremy has been enjoying the DU Lamont School of Music free Jazz concerts, including the highly esoteric improv performance last week.  He sat through a hour (almost more than either Mama or Papa could handle) and complained during the intermission ("where are the instruments?").  He's also insisting on going to sleep listening to a live recording of John Denver that starts with "Rocky Mountain High".  See link below for a taste of his own rendition.  The 45 second video ends when Jeremy attempts to start clapping while still holding his guitar:
