Did I mention the bugs on my windshield? Driving home thru the rain was a chore, since the wipers just wanted to smear the dead bugs across the window.
One thing I have noticed this summer is just how many Grandparent/grandchild groups i see walking around. I guess summer is truly the time to have the kids go see Grandma and Grandpa, especially since Momma and Daddy still have to work.
Ok..a year till the National Conventions for the parties. I think I am going to start paying a tad more attention to the election stuff. I have saved the POTUS channel on XM, which is a channel solely devoted to election coverage.
and finally, the twins have started piano. jessica is teaching them for now, and they seem to be picking up the basics out of the starter book she is using pretty good. I still think that jessica will only be able to take them so far, not because she doesnt know what she is doing, but because it will be difficult for her as mother to teach and enforce the practices. At some point, someone else will probably have to teach, be it my mother or someone else. But by that time, they should have mastered the beginning concepts and basics and be able to advance forward. I am already eyeing Baritones on ebay for I-Man ( i project him as a Tuba player eventually ) and Ryles will be in the Pit on mallets. Of course, fate says this means I-Man will be twirling flag and Ryles will be playing snare. or whatever... as I have said before, it remains to be seen just where their true interests will lie be it sports, music, dance, or racin. But i guess one can hope.

Yes, you are absolutely right - your son will be a flute player and your daughter will be hauling the tuba. But, hey! at least they will be in the band..... Congratulations on the piano playing. You guys are doing a great job.
Interestingly enough, the other day when your kids stopped by my house, I-man came in and went straight upstairs to the the drum set while Ryles couldn't care less. I-man, by the way, is pretty darn good on the set given his age. You might want to start thinking about AJ giving some lessons...he says he charges $30 bucks an hour. ;)
Yeah...this is an greasy, slick slope that I would rather not head down for the moment. If I-Man is good with percussion, so be it. For some reason, I can soooo picture him standing on some football field with no shirt on with a snare harnessed on him. with a 'fro.
What's wrong with that?
Junior made the smart choice ;)
That's really cool they are starting in on piano. Hmmmmm...I-man twirling flags...LOL.
