Well, I went over 16 years in the Army on Tuesday and I can't stinkin' wait until it is all over; and it was an even year so I get a whole whoppin' $100 monthly pay raise. (Whoopdie-doo) I guess it is better than losing money, though.
The band came back from Afghanistan @0330 (am) on Friday and we had two gigs that day as well so I got home about 2230 that night (1030pm). The crazy thing is a guy that just got back that morning from Afghanistan went and did the two gigs with us, which made a huge difference for us, but he's crazy. (It's ok, he's not married, so he wasn't neglecting family.)
On a sad note, my 4.0 GPA went down in a blaze of glory due to my Vocal Pedagogy Class (aka how to teach singing). I knew I was borderline, but I guess I didn't do as well on the final as I thought (or needed to) to pull out an A. Linda was so ashamed she didn't even sit next to me in church today and the kids all got t-shirts that said "My dad's so dumb he can't even make A's in music classes". 3.88 is such an ugly number. All I've got left is to perform my recital (October 23rd, 2009 if you're wondering, and yes, that is the day of our 17th wedding anniversary. Linda's choice.) and the dreaded comprehensive oral exams. (no they aren't looking in my mouth) Hopefully, this time will have a different outcome than at the School-Which-Shall-Not-Be-Named. I think 87 credits is enough to get a 30-credit degree, don't you?
On a lighter note, saw the new Star Trek movie a couple times already and it was spiffy, especially at the Nasville IMAX. Live Long and Prosper!
