The tie of this blog post implies I am going on a trip; however, I am simply taking time off for the next nine days. I have no plans other than to write, read, watch documentaries, spend time with a few friends, continue work on my transition plan, finalize details on my Live Out Loud list, have more fun with The Kids, and if I can bring my self to it, relax.

Show choir camp at Beavercreek was a success. Friday evening, following the show choir camp’s parent show, I got to catch a few minutes of the high school’s marching band parent show before hurrying on over to Ankeney Middle School to see their show choir’s parent show. I am so proud of all my students!

I woke promptly at 6:15 AM. I am refusing to officially begin this day until 8:00 AM. We’ll see. At least the kids are cooperating for the moment and lounging.
