Bandtober

It was the season of "Gravity." The show was great this year. But unfortunately we're in one of the toughest areas in the state of Texas. We came in 5th in Area...one spot away from qualifying for the State Competition. It was tough being that close. But we were very proud of the work these students put into the show.

So Much...

So much has happened this month and I really have no excuse in not writing about it. I mean, I keep a moleskine journal...but not to blog? No real excuse. Honestly I post on this blog just for me. I'm not even sure anyone other than me sees this.

Marching Band Competitions

Equine Therapy

Harry Potter Themed Birthday Party

Whole family gets sick

College visits to Oklahoma

Eclipse

Choir Concert

and more...

It has been a busy October.

60%

 

My Kindle tells me I have read 60% of Tolstoy’s War and Peace as of this morning. I’m still reading a little of it it every day. Usually one short chapter during breakfast. 

I have to admit that it wasn’t until I reached that 60% mark that I felt I was making some real progress on this book. It’s still a slog. Anna Karenina is a much better read. Much like Moby Dock, when the book sticks with the narrative, it’s pretty good. But there’s so much off story wanderings. Only 40% left to go!
