Back from the premier performance of THE PLANETS by the Houston Symphony. HD movie accompanied by comments from NASA employees, mind boggling images (real and imagined) from 7 of the planets; exquisite music. A couple of thoughts: My Odyssey ears helped me hear this music at another level. I was able to hear so much more than I can recall from previous symphony concerts. One of the scientists commented that she loved unraveling the mysteries; that was what made her life more fulfilling. I was thinking that I prefer the mysteries. Is this why books speak to me at such a visceral level? One of the 21st century skills Daniel Pink discusses in A WHOLE NEW MIND is symphony. I have a deeper understanding of why after this performance. Back to football. I have no dogs in this hunt, so I can watch without heartburn. P.S. Here is Scout's reaction to our return: Uh, you've been gone?
