Long band practice today.  Banged out 4 of our new songs and got them all sounding pretty good.  We'll most likely play 3 of them next Saturday, at our show at the IMC.  We're gonna have a Friday-night practice to polish things off - we might be playing with Beauty Shop, which means we have to have a good show.

Going to the Willis' for a BBQ, then probably sleeping early.  Singing all day tomorrow (it's the day of the Pentecost!), and I've been having some problems with my voice.  Hopefully I'm ok for tomorrow...it's important we sound good.

Started a trial run for Mustachefest.  If you've missed the boat on this one (or are a first-time reader ), my band's playing at a rock 'festival' called Mustachefest on the 17th, and, as you can probably guess, we all have to have mustaches.  So I'm doing a trial run right now, 4 days in.   I may shave tomorrow morning, depending on how it looks, since I don't want to look all nasty while singing.  That wouldn't be much of a blessing.  haha.

But I'll keep everyone posted on my progress.  so far...i'm on the fence about it.

My friend called me last night - the one I'm worried about.  He called kinda late and I missed his call.  I have to call him back.  Not sure what to expect...

Ok I'm off to Willis'.

Thanks for the love Mikey.  I could use it right about now.

Ciao

The mock-trial was yesterday.  It went well.  It was also my last day teaching...ever!  So sad

Took a group pic with both classes.  Can't believe my tenure at Hinsdale South is over after 2 fruitful years.  It's weird to look back on my very first posts, where I wrote about applying for this fellowship and being nervous about interviews and stuff.

My camera shipping date got delayed.  It was supposed to ship last week, but it got moved to tomorrow.  I haven't heard anything from Dell, so I'm hoping everything is still on track for that.  If it gets moved again, I just might cancel.  It would seem kind of ominous at that point.  Like, perhaps I should be looking elsewhere for the camera.  Or spending my money on something less selfish.  hehe.

It's been a weird few days.  Love-hate with food, resolutions and uncertainty.  I've watched a friend of mine get brainwashed and manipulated so that I don't even recognize him anymore.  What was once a give-and-take relationship of intellectual discussions has become him disparaging everything I believe in, and me just kinda, well, taking it in disbelief.  Not sure what to do.

I'm clueless on a lot of things.  In fact, i'm an idiot.

Praiseteam practice tonight.  Cooking for the first time in awhile.  Then...watching hockey with some friends I guess?  don't much like hockey, but i could use the company right about now. 

Oh yeah, my golf game on Saturday has reached astronomically poor levels.  like, ludicrous-speed bad.  That's all I have to say about that.
