This is Denver - in a semi arrid high altitude. We go outside in 23
degrees F without coats and don't feel cold. 95 in summer feels like 83
in damp climates.
Humidifiers only work minimally and only if attached to a central heating
unit. We humans and our wood clarinets just have to adapt our breathing
and our skin to live here, but then it feels awful for us to come into
humidity.

The sun is shining and I'm going to sit outside and eat my lunch! And
then I will practice The Russian Easter Overture one more time. I love
that clarinet cadenza - nice and short and dramatic!
