Star spangled banner

  1. Every year on this day, my thoughts turn to a former student who was so excited about the birthday party his mom had planned for the evening of September 11, 2001. When he came to school the next morning, he was glum because his birthday celebration had been preempted by coverage of horrors at the World Trade Center. Micheal, may your birthday this year be focused on you.
  2. One more Facebook photo of all the socks removed from the gut of that Great Dane, and my stomach’ll turn. That means another dairy-free meal option will bite the dust.
  3. If one of the thousands of bands getting ready to play a 200th Anniversary rendition of Star Spangled Banner this Saturday is looking for a cymbals player, I’m available. True, it’s been 40+ years since high school marching band, but I am still a crashing fool!

Are you singing or playing our national anthem this Saturday? Leave a comment about when and where.
