Performance Update

I completely forgot to update the come see me schedule when I started playing at the Baptist Church.

The latest performance was yesterday at the Baptist Church.

The next is this coming Saturday at RPC. We will be playing the Scarlatti Sinfonia and some hymns.

The only Christmas performance I can remember at the moment is December 18 at the Baptist Church. I have a solo in O Holy Night. Pretty stoked about this.

Dueling Banjos

Let me begin by saying I still hate I-40 at night. At least the part where you get on 306, and get lost, or go the long way.

Now, Kristi and I went to Jeannie and David's this past weekend. I actually enjoyed the trip up there this time. It is so much more fun with someone in the car. We never ran out of things to talk about only had to stop twice. It would have been perfect except for the 40-306 thing. Jeannie had country fried steak for us when we got there. Jere had already left by the time we got there. So sad. We'll have to try and run into him soon (probably won't see him until the engagement party on New Years). Jeannie had the country fried steak and David was watching Deliverance. Actually it was paused and I new exactly what it was (sad or scary, we're not sure).

Saturday was awesome. I actually slept till 10 o'clock. Then once everyone was awake we went to the Farmers Market. David rode his new toy to get a safety sticker and some sanity after a wonderful work week. The Farmers Market was pretty interesting. I really liked the Seafood Restaraunt. It's a need to go back again and again to try all the menu offerings. Then we slept again (at least I did). Oh, luxury. Getting to sleep twice in one day. Then we ate steak and bacon wrapped shrimp.

It was a weekend of totally enforced laziness. Kristi and I did absolutely nothing but be pampered. That was really nice.

Now for Suzy's big news. They rocked Auburn Alabama. First trip they finished 11 out of 16. What is so cool about that is that Milton got done wrong. In the first round, after spending all night reconfiguring their robot, they got a big ol' goose egg. Milton was the only team to get zero points in any of the rounds of the finals. They came back and posted the highest score for any round in the tournament in the last round.
