Songs can define big moments in life, and there have been a number of songs that have been there alongside our big moments. From the first concert my wife and I went to when we first were dating, to our Last Dance at our wedding, to the Beautiful Day of taking our daughter home after being born… Continue reading “A Lifetime of Music #4”
Well, it’s finally here. Summer! A great time to get out of the craziness of everyday life of work and politics and insane people – of bills and yard work and traffic – of the news and the slow move to civil war and the coming complete destruction of everything. And what better way to … Continue reading Travel Plans
My daughter has been on a roll lately, and here is my chance to give her some well earned kudos:
All the life things are happening – and in some ways happening too fast – while in others – it just seems to drag on forever.
My daughter and wife are out at a solo assessment for my daughter’s school orchestra. It’s where she has to perform for a judge for her year end assessment grade. Continue reading “And the train keeps rolling…”
