The Fall is Here...

Been awhile since I actually wrote on here.

Updates...
FInally got a new car after mine was totalled a few weeks ago.
A black Toyota sportscar with a moonroof - always did want a moonroof!!

The band season is up and going. The countdown to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade is just 80 days I think.

Life here at Progressive is hectic as we begin the fall school year. I'm working on a presentation for the AIU Community In-Service day in October, working on some thoughts and ideas for a NAMM subcommittee I am serving on in October, working to get more band for a USSBA show at Baldwin on October 7th - check it out here to sign up!!!!

Becky's wedding was last week. What a beautiful wedding and a great day!

Recently, I've discovered what real friends are and there are some friends who you think are real friends but end up being nothing like that at all. Perhaps this is just a lesson in life that we all go through. It doesn't make it any easier to lose people who you considered your friends. But, some things, seen and not seen, show people's true colors. Que sera sera I guess.

I was at the Penn State game this past Saturday. Every time I go up, I am amazed at how big that campus is. It keeps growing!!! It was rainy, but we found a dry place under and over-hang to stand and watch the whole game.

Today was the Labor Day parade downtown. Baldwin marched in the parade. It was an experience to be part of history as we marched passed the City-County building where Mayor O'Conner was. No one played as they marched down Grant Street. It was quite as even the spectators were very quite. Such a shame that his cancer took hold that fast. Life is so strange at times. I guess it's easier not to question things in life, but how can we not question life?

Why do things happen as they do? None of us will ever know.
