The orange LL Bean boat jacket is still missing, has not turned up in my various bags, backpacks, instrument cases or whatever. The last time I saw it was in the dining hall on the back of the chair where I was having breakfast Sunday morning. Then I went charging up the hill to the Parody Workshop. Oddly enough after we announced the loss of the coat and the fact that my car keys were in it, the car keys resurfaced on the dinning room floor.

This is not a great loss, neither in sentiment nor value but it is annoying. I hate to be reminded that I need to be more careful when I'm attending festivals and other special events; some of the things I carry with me are less replaceable.
