Sondheim and the business writer
But in this Times piece, he opens up about his longtime love affair with the songs of Stephen Sondheim.
When I fall for something, I fall hard. Yet I don’t think I’ve ever fallen as hard for anything as I did for Mr. Sondheim’s music. His songs and shows became central to my life, insinuating themselves into my heart and mind. I’m a business writer, but I’d often find myself, in the middle of trying to write a tough-minded article, haunted by some Sondheim song that I couldn’t get out of my head.
Enjoy!

SF Alexander workshop
with Constance Clare-Newman and Amy Likar
Join us for a day of Body Mapping and hands-on Alexander!
We will present detailed slides, and video and of course, handouts.
During presentations, one or both of us will be giving individual hands-on experiential understandings to match up with our intellectual understandings.
If you are a teacher, teaching your students functional anatomy in Alexander lessons clarifies and deepens their understanding and their ability to practice AT skills.
If you are an Alexander student, this workshop will bring a whole new level of awareness into your practice.
Saturday, November 13th from 10-5 at Jeffrey Bihr studio in Rockridge, Oakland
$125, limit of 15 students
Contact Constance for more info or to sign up.

inspiration visited me tonight
I have faced the particular challenge I was facing in this case many times before. But for some reason, today, I went about it differently. I don't know why I did that. And it probably wasn't the first time I tried this new approach. But tonight was the night that I went the way I did AND I saw the potential it implied: how many new possibilities it opened up.
I remembered how years ago, someone told me about a teacher doing something along these lines, but it hadn't made any sense to me then.
The past and the future converged in the now.
I looked around at my students who were smiling and laughing while they were learning and getting better.
Outside, the horns honked for the Giants. The night was soft and cool.
