Deer, Dancing, Tuba

That was my weekend. We drove to Wichita and then Manhattan on Thursday. Hung out on Friday. Then Friday night Michelle smashed a deer with her car. On Saturday we hung some more and went to Spring Dance. It was pretty good. Michelle seemed like he had a good time, too.

Sunday we drove to Wichita and listened to Jayme play in her tuba concert. That was also good. Afterward we came home and here we are. Back to the job and house and cold feet.

I would supply you with some photos, but they are not with me right now.

Means Matrix

Today I worked on my Masters report for a while. I even enlisted the help of Shannon and his mad programming skills. It's always nice when things finally work out.

In other, less academic, news...Last Saturday we played our Alumni Game in Junction. We lost, the alumni out scored us 10 to 5 in the end, I believe. But it was a good time and we had about 30 people come out to watch us. It's nice to get to play close to home. It'll be really nice when we get to play in Manhattan. I'm really glad that the new rec center expansion will have a hockey facility. Sweet.

Saturday evening, I then drove down to Wichita to watch/listen to Jayme play her tuba at the Wichita State University Contemporary Music Festival. The music, since it was contemporary, was interesting. Jayme's piece had a CD to go along with. It was pretty cool, and as always, she played well! We didn't' get to stay for all of it because Nicki wanted to go "bye-bye".


I did however, get to hear my little niece make some music of her own. Jayme got her a children's harmonica and Nicole just is figuring out how to use it. She puts it to her mouth and breaths in and out really really fast. It occasionally makes a sound and that just encourages her to do it even more even faster. She leans into the thing so much that I'm surprised she doesn't just topple over. I just love that kid. She's adorable, black eye and all!

For My Sister

We got to the game nice and early. We were able to sit right behind the band with the fans that actually care about the game. Oh, so nice.

Before the band sat in front of us, I noticed all the boxes for each section. Not sure what's in them. Music maybe? But this one is for the tuba's. It made me think of my sister Jayme. She plays the tuba at Wichita State University and plays it well. A little plug...

On Saturday October 27th at 1:00 pm, Jayme will have a recital at WSU. You should go!
