A quick hurrah

Beethoven 7 is on the playlist for the one ensemble I play in. Yippee !!!! and crap ;-). Better start practicing again.

Quotes and ideas

#1 - Fail to plan, plan to fail. ( don't know originator)
Missed part - Plan to pass out from exhaustion when attempting to plan well. Examp - 4 50 min classes = 200 min instruction. 50 min class = 120 minute plan ( plan, copy, grade, plan). 200 teaching time = 480 min planning time. 8 hour a day job my ass.

#2 - The early bird gets the worm, but the late mouse gets the cheese. :-)

#3 - The secret to happiness is a Good Sense of Humor and a Bad Memory.

Hotness

Quick funny story....

A few night's back, kiddo couldn't sleep. After many attempts at getting to sleep, he asked if he could sleep in my bed. Because I wanted to get to sleep, I reluctantly conceeded. After about 2.5 hours of loaning the right hand side of the bed, I could no longer sleep because I was sweating so bad. The little guy is like a four foot five hot water bottle. I aborted and went to finish the night in the bottom bunk of his bed.

He asked me the next morning where I had went. I told him I went to sleep in his bed because he was so warm that he was making me too hot to stay there.

He says," Yeah. I'm a hot sorta guy. My hotness moves around and can be too much for people." Before cracking up I said, "Really? Must be tough being hot" He didn't get my laughter.

So guys, take it from an 8 year old. Try to control your "hotness" :-)
