Some thoughts
So, most of my friends are enjoying band camp this week. Actually, it's probably everybody who reads this...that's funny! Ha! As I sit here in the air conditioned house, sipping my ice cold water in a pair of fuzzy blue slippers, my friends are coming back from a long grueling day of band.
God do I miss it!!
You know, I will miss all the fun times I had at school. But what I miss the most is being a part of something. Being a vital member of an amazing family. Of course, there is the actual marching part - I miss that too! So much, in fact, that I willingly submit myself to play with a mostly adult group of musiscians in a little 30-member marching band once every few weeks. We march at all of the parades around our area, about 12 each summer. Not one of the four clarinets I play with can play in tune. And it's not like they are all in the same direction, either! No, they each have their own unique sound, in opposite directions. Oh, it's horrible! I do everything I can to keep from cringing! But it's a great group of people, and they've all been playing their whole lives, some more than 50 years! And hey, I get free beer out of it...you know me, I'm such a big beer drinker. Anyway, I miss the PMB.
I hope band camp is going well, and that you all have some nice weather the rest of the week. I know tomorrow is going to be a scorcher down here - 100! Have fun!!
Tomorrow night I'm going to a Pajama-jam. One of my friends hosts theme parties from time to time. The last one I went to was 80's night, and he had downloaded a whole bunch of music for it. Now that was interesting...a whole night of pure 80's is a big enough dose to last me for the next two months! So I found these really cute pajama pants at Old Navy that have "Class of 05" written all over them! I love 'em!!
