2026 Life Logs, Day 154: Last Lawrence School Concert for a Goldstone
Date: Wednesday, June 3, 2026
Weather: Sunny and Warm; High Temp 78, Low 56 degrees F
Location: At Home with My Shadow, Falmouth, MA
Tonight was Ollie’s Lawrence School (grades 7 and 8) spring concert, and it was the last Lawrence School concert for a Goldstone. Sam, then Jonah, and now Ollie have attended Lawrence School and played in the concert and jazz band. Next year Jonah will be a senior and Ollie a freshman at Falmouth High School. It is always impossible to get photos of Ollie playing the saxophone in the concert band, but tonight he was third from the end of a row, so while they were warming up, I moved up front so I could actually get a photo of Ollie. Then I went back and had Heather come up so she could video Ollie playing and send it to Jed who is still in Canada. And then afterwards, I got a photo of Heather and Ollie. Tonight was milestone and I wanted to document it.
I spent the rest of my day meeting with the caterer for another milestone—my last event that I will be organizing for Encore. That takes place on June 17 and at that point, I will have completed my duties as Co-President, then Past President, and Program VP. It has been a wonderful experience, but I am looking forward to capturing a bit of my life back. And after my appointment with the caterer, I spent more time dealing with details of moving my sister here. And after that, I went outside to play with Shadow while enjoying the warm weather. I even got motivated to do a deep spring cleaning of the inside of my car. I needed to get outside and do something to keep from being totally overwhelmed with the details of figuring out exactly how I am going to get my sister here from North Carolina. She is not going to want to fly, but after checking train schedules and the cost of a private jet, I think flying on a commercial flight is the only way. I’ll work more on that tomorrow.
