The golf itch has kicked in and I can't wait to scratch it. I've already hit the driving range (just an L-wedge) and I'm feeling pretty good. Although I won't be able to get out to play much this year, I still can't wait to get the first round in. April rates in the GTA are looking okay so here's hoping that I get out sooner than later.

I did a bit of a walk-about a couple of weeks ago and found this bridge at Broadview and Bloor. I wonder if I shot it in B&W if it would have come out a little better.

Mental Blocks

Mental blocks can kill you. Especially when performing live. Lucky for me, it was only a rehearsal. Unlucky for me, I had a mental block.
Wednesday night was another NYCO rehearsal and it was going well. When nearing the end of the night, I could not get through one of the finales in Beethoven's 5th. The worst part was that it was at a point where everyone rests; dead silence. My mental block was finding new points in this section to "un-deaden" these precious moments.
"Sticking out like a sore thumb" would be an understatement of a phrase. Sticking out like a pink neon sign outside of a cheap motel at midnight flashing "Vacancy" with an arrow pointed at my head; that would be a little more accurate.
Anyway, mental blocks suck.
