Mid-life crisis, pre-menopause, or just old age...my state of mind lately changes like the Wisconsin weather. Waukesha is a smaller town west of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It's a neat town with a private college, a really cool downtown shopping district with lots of galleries and antique stores.

Marching Band

Yes, I'm officially a "bando." My sophomore is in the Waukesha South Marching Blackshirts and today was their first competition of the season. It wasn't officially a competition, because it was an exhibition. It was an opportunity for the bands to get their feet wet and work out some kinks of competing. All three Waukesha high schools were there, along with Muskego High School and UW-Whitewater. I enjoy the comraderie the parents have--even talking with parents from other schools. The band kids are a super group and are supportive of one another.

Began the day driving to the zoo and turning in my pledges for Juvenile Diabetes. I collected $2250 so far this year. What extremely generous coworkers I have. I hope they find a cure in my lifetime before I die from this disease!

What a perfect sunny day to be outdoors supporting the kids. It is already after 8 p.m. and I have yet to read today's paper! So I bid you good night.
