Ah, Thursday morning. Your eyelids blink open, welcoming the dawn. The birds chirp “Morning Mood” from Edvard Grieg’s Peer Gynt. A butterfly lands on your nose as you take a leisurely stroll to your neighborhood coffee house. You approach the counter but need not utter a word—the barista knows exactly how you take your brew. You pick up a fresh copy of MauiTime, still warm off the presses, sit back and let the ink sink in. Bliss. And just when you thought your day couldn’t get any better (or weirder, because you’re reading about it right now), you read in This Week’s Picks that Christopher O’Riley—famed pianist and host of NPR’s From the Top—will be joined by Carter Brey—the New York Philharmonic’s principal cellist—tonight at the Castle Theater. Perfect. But alas! The benevolent universe thwarts you with the temptation of yet another awesome event. The Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale Marine Sanctuary hosts a talk by the Maui Astronomy Club, with Tracy Latimer presenting “Meteorites: Rocks from Space” (7pm; free). And there’s free refreshments provided by Whole Foods. Thunder claps. You’re wracked with indecision. And the birds screech “O Fortuna” by Carl Orff as they flutter away… MACC: 242-7469; HIHWMS: 879-2812 ext. 22
