I called him just now and left a message, "Hey, it's T, calling you back, it would be great to get your advice on my recital blah blah blah, I am just practicing and stuff today so anytime you want to call is probably fine, or tomorrow or whatever. I hope you are having a beautiful day and that you had a fantastic halloween! ok, bye!"
Lisa, I'm planning to mention that I will be in NYC in december, if I get a good opportunity to slip it in. Do not worry about going to sleep when we were online at the same time! I hope you dreamed about muffins!
Julia, thank you so much for your warm supportive thoughts. I am still pretty stressed but a little bit better, I think the recital is going to be OK, we'll just see what happens!!
