Saturday Afternoon Post...
Jul. 12th, 2003 12:17 pmAfter much conversation and sleep, I'm back. Well, okay, there was some game-playing involved too.
In either case, it's quiet around the house. Thus, since I don't have any work today, there will be much game-playing going on.
I missed mentioning something else that happened at work yesterday. I was on my way up on to a roof to do some painting w hen something caught my eye and curiosity. But since there are many curious things, I thought it was one of the many squirrels that inhabit my home state, and especially the area where I live. Not five seconds later, one of the family's children bursts out the door and says that the cat got outside. (Moonie, the cat, is a Siamese and strictly an indoor cat.) You can probably guess what happened next. That curious object that I had just seen turned out to be the cat, and so I got profuse thanks and felt a little bit better about my observational skills. Not too long afterward, after I had finished a segment of painting, it rained on me again, and we packed it up for the day. Either way, I thought it was a neat story to share with all of you.
Weather's nice. Today my younger sister gets back from the George N. Parks Drum Major Academy, a school of which I am a graduate as well. (Runs in the family, actually, as my older sister went to the same academy... we've all been Drum Majors of our high school and we find that this camp is definitely great. You go two years, once to get the material, once to actually understand it... our school sends both Assistant and Head Drum Major, so you go twice.) Hopefully she had fun and understands the material a little bit better than she did last year. Of course, if our school would get its head on straight and hire a good band director to do both high and middle school, then the band program might not suffer as much as it does...
Well, never mind about my high school. I have a lot of complaints about it, but some of the good teachers I had there help to make up for it. As things go, it was probably an okay experience. As you can tell, I'm a bit of a rambler, and often will switch subjects without warning. Just the way I am, I guess. Oh well, that's enough for now. If I feel like writing more, you'll know anyway...
