life is good

just got back from the joynt. won the first game of darts, nearly won the second game (nice job mcginnis!). left by 1:10, which is an accomplishment as my habit is to stay till close. now i should be able to get up early and play trombone at 8am. dropped colin off at home and as i drove away he ran beside my car waving. i laughed.

it's snowing. i'm happy and the ground is white.

my dad came down yesterday and we had dinner. he brought me some mail from home. i got my new check card and i have now been upgraded to a 'wells fargo gold check card.' ahh, the perks of being me. basically it's gold colored and it makes me feel important.

bone dinner is tomorrow night. one cajun fried turkey comin' up!

monday i leave for new york. i can't wait. it's going to be such a great trip. edlund called me last night just to say "hello and i'm glad to hear you're coming." such calls really brighten my day. taking lessons out there is going to be awesome. in addition to that trip i get to go home to duluth for thanksgiving, which i didn't think i was going to be able to do. i'm really looking forward to being with my family, as i have not been home since the summer.

life is good. i'm thankful. g'nite.
