Just in time for me to go South for work for a week we get beautiful weather. These guys are poking out by the mailbox in my front yard. It’s going to be 75 tomorrow and 79 on Sunday. I’m hoping we get to go skiing! I love spring skiing!

I’m now an ‘elected member’ of the band I play with. My mom summed it up best by saying that I’m no longer considered a guest. What really happen was the sax ensemble has kept me from skipping band rehearsals like I used to. It definitely makes it more fun. Band itself is still not [...]

Living in Charlottesville means that I don’t get much of a real winter. Not like NY, not even like NJ. It does get cold, into the 20s sometimes even, but there isn’t a lot of snow. When it does snow it doesn’t stick around. Strangely, I am closer to a ski resort than I was when [...]
