falling behind

With the General Assembly at the end of June I missed two Monday evening rehearsals with the Gay Men's Chorus. I finally got back to singing with them last night and boy was I humbled. They've memorized about half a dozen of the pieces already. I have none memorized. On the songs where they sang without music I held my music in front of me, and they still sang better than I. I've really got some work to do. I told the guy next to me, "Gee, you take two weeks off and suddenly it feels like you're two weeks behind." And the concert is the end of this month.
