I've been watching soccer all summer. Hockey is messing with my sense of proportion. Still, LGB! #stlblues

I don't know I met my wife when we were eighth graders before smartphones Having to do any of that is beyond petrifying to me

"You're right, Toad," the AI model said. "The kite won't fly and you should go back to bed." "The kite won't fly," said Toad. "I should go back to bed." Frog tried to call Toad back to him. Toad walked away and asked the AI model, "Should I sleep until next May?"

Not trying to point fingers, but spouse did take some kids home away from watching CyHawk right before Iowa had any offensive success

Leveled up to be part of, then in charge of, the pit: - no lines to memorize, music always in front of you - scarce costume changes - fewer rehearsals - dat money babyy - okay, not that much money. But I get to sing along with the pit while I conduct before the sitzprobe

Loudly outing and shaming myself as a Bad Concertgoer. I'm not sure I could name ten concerts, period. I like music, and I like performing music. I felt too busy to go when younger and now it's both too expensive and I have too many kids to go much now

I kind of figured a few episodes back was really more your speed, Adam.

Zac Oyama, with "Smooth" by Santana featuring Rob Thomas on loop in his headphones, describes what he's hearing as, "It's really just wailing on a guitar."

Last year, around Halloween, they sang Older as more of an existential horror piece and had a blast

I had the comic strip in my local Sunday paper. They had a list of materials for an at-home science experiment, and I still use the last one in my list for my students. You need: - your sweet self

George Roberts was always the gold standard, "Mr. Bass Trombone" though I've also heard he strived to be Urbie Green, one octave down

Update: maintenance says, "would have done it if the teacher wanted it, but not beholden to the fire marshal" So still moving my classroom around, but using a smart TV on a cart and a standing whiteboard in front of the ukulele hooks. IKEA has magazine bins which is where the ukes are going

In cleaning out files for the new year, I found a list I'd started and abandoned of teachers in my county. Over thirty other music teachers working with elementary students in public schools, a dozen others in private schools. We just never connect!

Being the only music teacher in a building can get a bit lonely. Classroom teachers get teaching, but it's different setting ~25 students all day vs the entire school for an hour at a time each week. And I'm fairly lucky to have that!

One of my favorite gags in Futurama is that this is Fry's favorite song and he can't remember the second line in the chorus

My southern Illinois is showing when, in a single day, I was surprised to find very little on Wikipedia on such topics as volunteer corn and corn sweat

The trick here is to get a color commentator who likes to either get into long tangents or just make catchphrases. Darren Panger for me, play a nice chord and the crowd hears "Holy jumpin'!"

All this to say, as a PSA/Dido cover, that it's not so bad! I wouldn't go do it every week, but it's important to get checked. I don't have to go again for... five more years. Better than one I guess. Don't wait too long, y'all!

...and I woke up back in the first room. Made sure I wasn't too unsure, got driven home, ate some applesauce.

I had an amazing driver take me to the hospital. The nurses got me checked in and, after getting myself suited up, hooked in. I *do not* like needles, and they were very accommodating. We waited with a saline drip until they wheeled me back. Nurse had me get in position and the anesthesia started...

Prep day was not the worst day I've ever had. That's kind of the extent of my praise for prep day. I am blessed to have a support system so that I could veg in bed (and elsewhere) all day.

I was able to pick a date that worked for me within a month and get on with my summer until prep day.
