So this past weekend started for us at a high school football game on Friday night, which promptly got interrupted by the lightening alarm. Yes sir, nothing sends you running for an exit like a warning bell that you're in danger of being zapped by lightening.
Anyway, since the alarm went off right before halftime, the bands for the two teams retired to the school cafeteria for sort of a "battle of the bands". The kids had a lot of fun and I told Kellie afterwards that I thought I saw something out of their band that I hadn't seen much of this year. The kids looked like they were having fun.
Their teacher, who for various reasons I will not name, is apparently a good "technical teacher". There is nothing wrong with the band's performance from a technical point of view. But they play with no emotion....no sense of just going out and having a good time. Meanwhile, on the other side of the field, we saw the other team's band just whoopin it up, having what looked to be a terrific time.
Saturday Notre Dame got slaughtered by longtime rival USC in what might have been their worst performance of the year. The Florida Panthers suffered a difficult loss on the road to Ottawa. And Andy got a letter from one of his top two schools--Florida Institute of Technology. It notified him that he had been accepted for admission next year. HIS FIRST LETTER OF ADMISSION TO A COLLEGE!!!
So all in all, it was a good day.
Yesterday Kim and I went out with our friends Kim & Jason and met for dinner and then we drove up to West Palm Beach for a concert (Styx, REO Speedwagon & .38 Special on a jam packed triple bill of classic rock!!). Even though it was MY BIRTHDAY (cough, cough), the show was actually a birthday gift for Kim that I had bought back in early August. Kim was in all her glory watching her favorite band from her teenage years, Styx. Luckily, she didn't get real crazy and, ya know, take her clothes off or anything. She was very responsible thank you.
The guys in the row behind will never know what they missed.
Later,
Jeff
