Glancing over my last post, not much has changed. People are giving me hell for not updating, though, so here we are. I'm getting ready to go on a two-week trip next week: flying to Chicago, driving to Kalamazoo for a few days at the International Women's Brass Conference and a performance with the Athena Brass Band. I'm looking forward to that. Then I'll be spending a few days with my parents before driving to Gettysburg for a second performance with Athena. One or two days with my friend, Forbes, in Philly, and then heading home. At that point, I'll be stuck in my Texas work-sleep-read pattern until September, when I'm heading out to Indianapolis for a NABBA Board meeting.
