People can be awful sometimes
I'm sitting in Panera right now getting dinner and some work done before I go see The Human Experience and there is one man who is being absolutely ridiculous and causing a scene. He's raising his voice at the manager, complaining that someone who calls in their order can't sit in the restaurant to eat it and is using all sorts of profanities and ( Read more... ) -
Stuck in DC - A Photo Essay of Sorts
As the title says.
Once upon a time, there was a woman named Amanda. Amanda had a husband named Bram, and they were very happy. One summer, Bram's National Guard Band decided to go on tour, and one of those tour stops was the National Zoo.

Thoughts here and there
I have a few things swirling about in my brain, but I haven't exactly gotten around to writing anything. What can I say, I've been a little busy recently with budgets and I have syllabi to write. Great fun! Actually, what's more fun is going to be figuring out what the heck I'm going to cover in dance and yearbook. Yes, that's right. Your friendly ( Read more... ) -

They really do. My dad and little brother just got back from Boy Scout Camp, which means the house is filled with man-sweat.

Of course, I wouldn't smell too pleasant either after a week of camping and swimming and hiking and what not, and neither ( Read more... ) -
A Recommittal of Sorts...
I changed my journal layout - finally upgraded from the old S1 - in the hopes that it will get me to post more frequently (at least, as frequently as is not boring). I mean, I'm going to be a first year teacher in a brand new school - I'm bound to get some crazy stories, right? Of course, that was also the case with student teaching, but I didn't ( Read more... ) -
Eeeee!!!
So it's only been what, 7 months since I updated? A great deal has happened since then, but I just wanted to let you all know that I have a job! I am going to be the band and choral director at the brand new Pope John Paul the Great Catholic High School in Dumfries! Yippee!!!
Happy Fathers Day!
Especially to those who are no longer with us.

Virginia in my eyes
I had to take my bassoon out to Harper's Ferry today to get some much-needed repairs done. The guy, Richard Polonchak, was a bit eccentric, but he certainly knew what he was doing - he had worked in the Puchner factory in East Germany and played in the Marine Band and White House Orchestra when Ford was in office (once before some performance, Ford ( Read more... ) -
