I'm really sorry...
for the following joke. I just had to share it with you.
Bob Hill and his wife Betty were vacationing in Transylvania. Driving in a storm, they had a wreck. Both were hurt, especially Betty. So Bob carried her to a nearby farmhouse. A hunched man, Igor, answered the door, and called to his master, a scientist. The Hills were taken to the lab downstairs, where they were placed on tables. Despite the scientist's best efforts, both died. Disconsolate, the scientist went upstairs to play his piano. Igor, cleaning the lab, noticed that both Bob and Betty were moving. He ran upstairs. "Master, master," he exclaimed. "The Hills are alive with the sound of music!"

It was so hard...
...getting up for school today after our two-week Christmas break. It didn't help that the weather is cold and damp.
We have a busy week ahead of us getting all our selections finalized for the Solo and Ensemble Contest. It's going to be a busy semester!

Jonathan takes on the two-pound burger!
On our Region choir audition trip last weekend, we ate at Michael's in Midland, a restaurant known for great burgers, among other things. Jonathan was bragging that he could finish a Tall-City burger, which is made with two one-pound patties.
Quite frankly, I scoffed at his claims. Boy, was I wrong! Not only was he able to finish it, but he actually did it without looking miserable.
Last year, on this same trip, we witnessed another student from another school eat the same burger, and he was gagging with the last few bites! Made me gag just to see him struggle to finish it.
But Jonathan was another story! He finished strong! Here are some pictures to prove it.
