A little too gangster for this white boy, I know, but I do want to give props to my four All-State Chorus students for their accomplishment this weekend. We went to Rapid City to sing with 928 other choir students and almost 200 orchestra students–the best in the state–and my kids were absolutely excellent. All four of them behaved, obeyed and even volunteered to help with everything. It’s amazing how great your job can be.
The flipside, of course, is that I have not seen my wife in almost four days. I miss her dearly and can’t wait to get back home. I’m also looking forward to our own comfy bed. Nothing like a good night’s sleep. Then, back to reality.
But it won’t be so bad. I’m looking forward to digging away over the next week at our Veteran’s Day pieces, getting everything put together in the few rehearsals we have left before the big performance. And after that, it’s Christmas time. Boy, the year zips by quickly. And in less than a month, I’ll be a quarter-century old! Yikes! Well, at least my insurance will go down. That’s always a nice thought.
I’m hoping to write a little more of just about anything. That’s kind of my goal–music, stories, love letters, whatever. Just something. I need some creativity. My wife and I have been doing some paintings together for wall art, and I want to do more of that as well. But it’s all a game of time, so I’ll have to budget some extra relaxation into my schedule in order to do some of that fun stuff.
Thanks for stopping by. Good night all.
