Struggled all morning with Sonos and Alexa integration and then finally I had a breakthrough when I found my skill was in upper case and the Lambda was sending lower case to the pi. In addition, I simplified the preset itself reducing it to it's minimum. We went this afternoon to the Opera House to buy apprentice tickets for March and then to Ringling to see art. It was my first time in the new Chinese section. There is a bunch of interesting Cyprian art objects there as well as a few dozen traditional Japanese watercolors. We came home around 3 then had an open faced grilled cheese with a tomato slice for dinner. We left at 6:00 for the ballet and got there at 6:52. Traffic is pretty heavy on Beneva and downtown. No problems at all coming home. We found a new way to get to Beneva using MacIntosh to Palmer Ranch Parkway. It's a lot nicer than going around the mall streets. The ballet was a tribute to Ashton, The first piece was a grouping of Ashton waltzes which was the least interesting of the program. The next was by Graziano and was Before Night Falls, a sequence of Pas de Deux between two lovers and their relationship. It was lit in blue with movement being diagonal. I really liked this piece. The last was Changing Light and involved the whole company in shades of oranges and blues with lighting ranging from the bright white at the opening to darker shades in between. I liked this very much as well as the second number of the night.
