My nephew Luke (shown with his band director Mr. Lawrence) is graduating from high school in two weeks. This is giving me ALL kinds of feels. I am super proud of him for all kinds of reasons.

I have joked a lot about figuring out what “What I want to be when I grow up”. I was told a very long time ago that if you didn’t figure it out by the time you turn 50 you don’t have to. Well, I turned 50 in December. I guess I don’t have to figure anything out! But all… Read more »
