Yesterday calls and e-mails rolled in. I kept my calendar open and filled the next two days with meetings, parties, interviews and ballets alongside directions from Hop-Stop.

In the afternoon I received a text-message from an old editor-boss coming to the city for a visit. “Which ballet should I see?” she asks. So I give her a call and we plan to attend the Thursday night NYCB performance of “Four by Four.” I’m turning into a City Ballet addict.

My mentor in Mobile e-mailed in the late afternoon: “Are you busy on January 28th?” he asks. I glance at the calendar. “No I’m free.” I write back. Good thing, because he arranged an interview for the Mobile Press-Register with a very famous (and recently televised) violinist.

20 or so e-mails later and Wednesday and Thursday look like marathons.

Last night, after hitting State Theatre for the Jock Soto film, I came home late. Dione and I talked on the phone for an hour and a half. I washed dishes while watching Gustav Dudamel conduct at Carnegie Hall (I really like watching him lead!) and promised myself to go straight to sleep. I blogged until 2:30 and even when the lights were out, I dreamed of random dancers executing pirouettes.

Luckily today is easy, with just a few shopping excursions and more e-mails. I’ll be lucky if I get to bed before 1 a.m.
