In case anyone was wondering about Charlie the Cello, here's part of a response I sent to a friend who I played with in college who inquired about his wellbeing. :)
I guess now that you mention it CA-WI-Holland isn't a particularly common path to take in the first 2.5 yrs out of college, but so far it's been treating us well! I unfortunately didn't bring my cello with me. :( It just didn't make logistical sense given how many other suitcases we were bringing and how much we were already spending in excess baggage fees for the move over here. :( Instead, Charlie the Cello flew safely back with my parents when they visited in Sept and he'll wait patiently there for my return! :) My mom actually broached the subject of if I really need/want him in my life anymore and I SCREECHED at her and told her to never even consider that idea ever again. Even though this is the first time Charlie hasn't been in my immediate possession, I'm confident he'll be in my life FOREVER!!!
Speaking of cellos, it only took me 5 short days of living here to join our town's International Womens' Club and organize an event go to see a cello quartet (yes, 4 cellos) next Thursday! Can't wait!!

Gosh, that Cello Quartet sounds beautiful. Steve and I went to see a strings quartet about a year ago and it was wonderful. We are going to the LA Phil next weekend to see their new conductor, Dudamel, conduct Strauss...
