Dad. Band Director. This is fine.

Hey Buddies. I know you feel loud inside sometimes. Me too. Let’s see if we can find the quiet together. Love you, Buddies.

Someone suggested to me that the characters of Mozart and Salieri from the movie Amadeus (not necessarily their IRL counterparts) are analogous to SpongeBob and Squidward and now it’s 12:48am and I’m still awake.

Had a Peridontal procedure after school today. The anesthesia is wearing off.

I feel like I’ve been hit by a ton of bricks.
One at a time.
Faster and faster.

My Monrovia kids made a tribute poster for Jake. I’m honored to the verge of tears to have been included.

It’s 11:15 and the Dryer signaled the end of cycle, and by some grace I do not deserve, I get to fish out Maddie’s Eeyore stuffie, quietly walk him into her room, and place him next to her in her bed as she sleeps.
A random intrusive thought

[its 11pm and I am making sliders for my family for their school lunches]

was met with a challenge

[he doesn’t get to make anything, anymore]

I haven’t been at the SCSBOA Conference for more than 40 minutes and my eyes are already leaking. CSUFullerton Symphonic Winds’ performance of Eric Whitacre’s setting of Goodnight Moon was every strain of joy I share with kiddos at bedtime.

Jeez laWEEZ Lakers… it’s like you were TRYING to seize Defeat from the jaws of Victory but FAILED.

After Q1, the game was on pace to go 156-76… instead, Lakers played the rest of the game like they were resting for tomorrow.

1. Go to McDonald’s
1a. You can borrow my kids if you need a cover story.
2. Buy an Apple Pie and (assuming the ice cream machine is working) a Caramel Sundae.
3. Crumble the pie into the sundae.
4. Enjoy your Caramel Apple Pie ala mode McFlurry.
5. You’re welcome.

Maddie and I just picked up Mabel and the Boyz from the Pasadena Humane Society. So much joy in our house right now, much of it from a very happy doggie.

And on our way out, we were interviewed by NBC4 News.
