Thanks y'all! My only regret is that I never got a chance to get back to Britain. I needed more training if I was to stay, but I can't stay.
My job now is to write the job listing for the person who will replace me. It's funny how that goes. I will be arguing for them to make more money than I did. Otherwise they will never find another me. |

They'll never find another 'you', no matter what they pay.

Just plain news here, stories that have brought a smile to my face as I listen to the news this morning.
Kam Chancellor has returned to the Seahawks after ending his two game holdout. He was missed, I'm looking forward to his return to the team. The President of China, Xi Jinping, is visiting Seattle. His motorcades are playing absolute hell with regular surface transportation (shutting down a large stretch of I-5 today for 45 minutes, a commute to Tacoma, during rush hour today, probably closing I-5, I-405, and SR 167). Anyhow, an order for 300 (!) Boeing 737 jetliners. Hubba hubba, that's a lot of airplanes. And lastly, Donald Trump announced that he's not going to appear on any more shows from the Fox network because they're treating him unfairly. This is the giggly kind of happy. WTFF? I don't even know what to make of this. It's just typically pompous. Poor, poor Trump, being maligned by Fox. y'see? I can't even type that without grinning like a fool.

My daughter is in the high school band, and this year they have really shaken things up trying a different style of program and different style of marching and asking a bunch of students, including my daughter, to switch instruments. So morale during the last two months of practicing has been low at times because it's been a huge challenge making all these changes at once. They won thier first competition and got a good score, but they thought it was a judging fluke. Yesterday was thier second competition, and they won that one too with an even better score. I was ready to get a picture as the score was announced, and was pleased with how it came out, so I cropped it and sent it to my daughter, who was still on the bus ride home with her band. She shared it with her small group of band friends and they all loved it. So the rest of the band was wondering what the commotion was, looking at the picture, and so she shared it with the entire band, and then it leaked out to some parents, and eventually all the way to the school principal, and onto the school's webpage picture feed and twitter.
So I'm happy I got a popular picture, but even happier that my daughter got to share in the attention. She's usually quiet and blends in. Not sure how tapatalk is going to handle this picture. ![]() |

Well done Sir, you, and they, deserve accolades.
What was the school thinking? They let a Negro change the band all around, everyone knows they have no rhythm. ![]()
