i gotta admit

i'm pretty impressed that anyone still reads this. after that long of a haitus (sp?), i was sure no one would be back. makes me realize how lucky i am to have friends that genuinely care...

k, sorry bout that, didn't mean to get all touchy feely on ya (leave it alone andrei...)

so here's a quick update;

all the trombone stuff is working itself out. i'm being patient with it and it's starting to pay off. one of the things i'm doing is playing a lot of air trombone where i just blow air through the horn instead of playing actual notes. so if something isn't working, i use all the right positions and articulation but instead of tone it's all air. i guess it just teaches my body how easy it should feel when i actually play. so then when i go to actually play the passage, my body seems to remember some of what i just taught it to do. yeah, it sounds silly but i'm writing about it because maybe someday i can come back and read this when things get funky again.

trombone stuff aside i'm doing well. i miss eau claire and all my friends and family but i'm slowing starting to meet new people and feel at home here. ultimate frisbee is helping with that side of things. i've been uber disciplined with my diet and working out, with the exception of going to qdoba too often with colin. we can't help it, it's just too good. i think we might have to sign up for their "frequent biter" card...

well, that's all i have time for right now. frisbee is starting...

take care,
james
