And yet another fun filled episode of family together-ness. Grandma was over since Saturday and left last night w/ my aunt. Which brings me to believe that family is one of those things that you keep around just for the humor of seeing other people fight. Ok, that's not the only reason... but that's one of them ( Read more... )

Well, Marching Band has reached its final moment of glory for the class of 2006. We placed 2nd at finals, winning Percussion, only losing to Beir (spelling?).

Last weekend was good stuff all around. Went to the BOA Regional Championships in  Flag Staff, AZ.  Performing in the Sky Dome on the Northern AZ field (astroturf it was) was really nice. The sound was about 3x louder in the woodwind section, which was really cool. The only problem was that at the end of the show, no one had any stamina points left ( Read more... )

So there was this group of angry men holding a sign out in front of my Church [Corpus Christi] today, and other days that I wasn't there, that says "Corpus Christi is hurting our community." Not a very good thing to see when pulling into the parking lot for church. Turns out that they're from some construction company union. It also just so happens ( Read more... )
