We arrived home yesterday from a 10-day trip that started in Buffalo, NY, and ended in Gambier, OH, with stops in Akron and Cleveland in between. It began with Dingus Day in Buffalo – that evening, listening to the band Those Idiots at the Mickiewicz Library and Dramatic Circle – and concluded with a concert at Kenyon College put on by the Knox County Symphony, an orchestra made up of students, professors, and townspeople – including our hosts, and old friends, Jane Cowles (oboe) and Dan Laskin (trumpet). Outside the hall, five tall columns lifted five horn-playing angels into the evening sky.
