The best Monday so far....

This weekend was nice, got to go up to Scranton for Finals for TOB (Marching Band). Lebanon jumped up to 14th in percussion, going in 25th, pretty nice jump I'd say. What makes this Monday the best Monday so far in my life? As some of you may know I wrote the percussion book for a group for outdoor, and they won the drum. Now, this is something that as a member of the drumline I always wanted to do, as well as Jon, Jay, and Mike. We dreamed of this, and our senior year we were very close. To be able to write a book that won is amazing, but my excitement is nothing compared to how the members of the line must feel. That being said, I think this is it for me and writing books for groups, but not teaching them. Though I am happy that the book I wrote for them was the best one out there, I do not believe I deserve credit for the win. Those kids worked very hard, and they were rewarded for such. Hats off to them for making my notes on a page something worth talking about.
On that note, this Monday, despite the rain and miserable overcast, is still the best Monday so far. Hope your Monday is good also, and if not, then I hope it goes fast!

A Dirty Little Secret

These past couple of weeks have been pretty dull. Work is going well. I'm a month in and still enjoying very much what I am doing. The apartment is still standing, needs some cleaning, but its good nonetheless. Our internet service sucks. We keep having outages, and I thought it was just the router, but after plugging in direct, its the service. I will give them a call tonight or tomorrow if it's not fixed. Thats a lot of money to pay for a service we are not receiving. Let's see.... what has happened in the past couple weeks worth noting.

Oh yes, did some coding for Doug's website, and I'm working on code for another. I'm trying to really challenge myself here. A design for this other site is still in the process of being determined. Once it is agreed upon, the coding can commence, and that can open up a whole new stack of problems (problems come in stacks, like pancakes).

At the time of writing it is lunch time Thursday, which means its almost Friday, and then the weekend is here. I get to help cut down trees this weekend. Should be fun. It'll give me a chance to remember how much muscle I lack.

At work, a women, Lynne, she reads a lot. I've never seen anyone get so upset about not being able to finish a book over lunch before. Also, I've never seen anyone as happy about bagel sandwiches as she was, or just food in general. The little things I guess.

Speaking of sandwiches, I hear banjo music coming from somewhere in the office. It's a little freaky. At least I don't have dogs in my office though.

So Tuesday night, Doug and I heard cat noises, we checked in our basement, and to our surprise, there is a cat down there. Apparently the guy who is taking residence in our basement, felt it necessary to keep a cat in there. Also, it's important to note that Doug is highly allergic to cats.

Now theres a fiddle. On that note, I'm going to close this post, and get ready for what should be a relaxing end of a Thursday.

Have a good one.
