January 2, 2012 By Ian Sidden

Made it home last night after our drive to and from Oregon to visit my Ma. Along the way, we saw some really beautiful sights. Some were new, and some were places I’d seen before, but they are nevertheless stunning.

This was precisely the kind of thing my mind needed for some rejuvenation despite the long stays in the truck.

Rebekah and I also listened to a few audiobooks along the way, both of which I can recommend. The first was Steve Jobs and the other was Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength. It’s shocking how much easier it is to drive for upwards of 13 hours in a day when you have a good audiobook to escort you.

Premiere: Frédégonde

It’s a work inspired from the early history of the Merovingians in what is now France and the ongoing feud between two of the queens, Brunhild and Frédegonde. The work was composed by […]
