The kid got the results of her recent orchestra seating audition and they were pretty good. She moved up 9 chairs to 9th chair in violin 1 for the final concert of the season. We were all pretty excited because she had been working hard to improve on her last audition results. Now she has … Continue reading Results, Risk, and a Recommendation
I got a run in today at lunch to make it 22 miles this month. Not too shabby – thanks to our new treadmill. Today is one of those lessons. I really didn’t feel like running. I had a tough time a couple of days ago and had to finish early, and was thinking about … Continue reading I Wanna be in 5th Grade Again
It’s here! Spring is finally here. We have a poppy blooming in our garden. The weather is getting warmer. There are bugs flying around. The grass needs to be cut. All the signs that spring must be here. How much longer before we start to hear – ugh, it’s so hot outside. I’ll take it, though. … Continue reading It’s Here
Ouch. My tooth has been bothering me lately. I may have a cavity. Or I may just have a sinus thing going on. Sometimes it hurts in my tooth, sometimes in the one above it. Other times it doesn’t bother me at all. Sometimes it gets all – yikes – when something cold hits my … Continue reading Falling Apart
Yesterday our daughter went to spend the weekend with her friend, which left us with a date day. A whole day and night just for ourselves. Since it was St. Patrick’s Day weekend, the one thing on the agenda was to go out to O’Connor Brewery for their big St Paddy’s party. Bands, green, food trucks, green, dark beer, and green beer. But first… Continue reading “All the Green”
It’s back! One of the best days of the year! The day where there are multiple NCAA basketball games on constantly from noon to midnight. All day long of close games, buzzer beaters and upsets. Or we can hope. Of course, it’s a lot more fun when you have a horse in the race, but … Continue reading Marathon Day
On this rainy, windy, cold, nor’easter March day, the first thing to come to mind is naturally baseball. Only 22 more days until opening day! Recently I was driving around somewhere and started thinking about catchers. A common thought, right? Specifically as to why they are such bad hitters. It’s just one of those things … Continue reading Catching Pie
It’s daylight savings day spring forward, but instead of a jump into spring it seems we have fallen back into winter. Cold today. Cold yesterday. Cold again tomorrow. At least we aren’t having the snow they are getting up north. I think this daylight savings thing is too early now. It used to start in … Continue reading Springing into Winter
A month away. In just a month we will be partying it up in New Orleans, and I’ll be dealing with turning 50. Not that I haven’t been dealing with it for a while now. Turning 50 in New Orleans is pretty cool, though, but it ended up being just a coincidence. Continue reading “Near and Far”
Last night was my daughter’s orchestra rehearsal night. Every Monday night. Well, most Monday nights from September to May. There is the normal love/hate relationship with these kind of things. Continue reading “Captive Times”
