Week Summary

I spent most of the week at TCU getting trained to teach AP Music Theory next year. It was a really great course - I've heard nothing but great things about all of the AP programs at TCU. I'm really getting excited about getting to teach the class in the Fall.

While I was there I got to catch up with Colby and Joanna Brownlee. It was so good to see their faces again - both are doing well and working hard! I also got to catch up with my high school classmate Chris Surley. We met up at the Gingerman where I got to join is friends who team up to play Trivia every Thursday night! Not wanting to let me down, we all put our heads together and came out on top! Every team gets to name themselves for the evening and the names were almost all commenting (mostly inappropriate) on the celebrity deaths of the day. Even though we won the night, I think "The autopsy will confirm whether he was black or white", and "Way to steal Farrah's thunder, you jack***" won the biggest laughs when announced. I also was acquainted with Firemans #4 - eh - interesting for all you ale connoisseurs.

Saturday I got to go out to a friend's lake house on Lake Cypress Springs. We went tubing and water skiing and got to enjoy a very hot but very fun day.

Today was a very lazy day. Watermark was packed this morning. I went to lunch with Ben Jones and we ate at Five Guys burgers. If it's good enough for Obama and his staff - it's good enough for me!

Five things that will make this a great week:

1) Try something you've always wanted to do/eat and never have
2) Pull out one of your favorite books from when you were a kid and read it again
3) Make a list of 3 people you haven't talked to in far to long and set aside time for each
4) Start researching your next vacation - even if you can't get it soon - doesn't it help to think about it?
5) Get up just before sunrise and sit on the patio with a cup of coffee or tea and just take it all in.

I hope I find myself on some of your lists to call... I would love to hear from you!
