Today I leave on a thirteen day trip to Wisconsin and Minnesota, with a stop along the way to conduct my last ever concert with the McHenry County Youth Orchestras. After the concert, I will spend a couple of nights in LaCrosse visiting my parents and then head way, way up to Split Rock Lighthouse State Park in northern Minnesota for four days of backpacking along the shores of Lake Superior.
I'm looking forward to a little R and R on the heels of an incredibly difficult and stressful year which has brought a lot of change to my life. It will be nice to get out into the woods and allow Mother Nature to wrap her arms around me for a while.
