Well, what can I say today... a kid cancelled his lesson which is not like what ever. Kids are lagging it on the payments and well I need the money if I didn't I guess there wouldn't be a problem... And although I only taught 2 lessons today it was well worth it. One of the kids, he is a freshman and well the first of the thirds in concert band and well he is one of the underclassmen taking lessons the others are mostly in wind ensemble and I told him to conduct sectionals with the thirds. When I told him it could be his responsibility his face just lightened up. I am sure I made his day. A nice high light...

Yesterday was my mother's birthday and it was nice my dad brought her roses and they seemed happy yesterday. We made them kiss and well they laughed and had a good time. I am so happy for this because just a few days ago I thought that they wouldn't last for their 25th wedding anniversary which they are starting to plan for 3 years from now. Sometimes I have my doubts but I don't know what to say... I am just glad they were happy yesterday!
