I hope you’re all having a better morning than me. But to be fair, doc has been outstanding and the folks here at the VA Hospital are wonderful.

My first in person rehearsal since March 10, 2020. My sight reading wasn’t as bad as I feared. My chops, however, are. My lips are hamburger now…
Had a great time playing with Marysville Community Band again. (I work to 8 on Tue/Wed so Evergreen Community Orchestra isn’t an option right now😢)

Got sent to the hall for wearing this! It’s fun bringing in more than just math shirts. Sharing the love with other departments here at the Instructional Center brings me great joy.

There’s an energy on campus during move in that is really powerful. Young people excited as they move out of their parents’ orbit and begin a college life full of promise. Happening right outside my window.
I’m feeling good today.

All detainees must be immediately released and given means to return to the place from which they were abducted, and their families and loved ones given full information about their status (their health condition, estimated time/location of return, and means to contact the detainee now).

Weekend trip to Leavenworth (Washington) was a hit! For those unfamiliar, it a Bavarian-themed town in the Cascades. There’s lots to do in the area: hiking, rafting, and the like. We just walked around town, stayed at a lovely pension, had a great dinner.

New t-shirt Friday takes me to (natch) the Chemistry Room here at the IC. What will my next shirt be? Hint: it involves multiplication AND division.
