It's Friday!

Seems like the weeks have been flying by, which is a good thing. I'm wearing the "car salesman" Hawaiian shirt today (pale yellow with sage green leaves and darker yellow palm trees) - it's one of my favorites, but maybe just slightly tacky. Sharon actually was surprised that I didn't put John in a Hawaiian shirt this morning (he has two) - he participated last week :) What does your Hawaiian shirt look like?

This weekend looks to be beautiful, which is a GREAT thing. I think Sharon is attending an event in Roanoke tomorrow, so perhaps the little monster and I will take a good bike ride.

I'm a little nervous - Sharon is conduction a spring retreat for all of her band kids this weekend (grades 6-12) and has invited various industry "professionals" to come and present seminars, workshops, and masterclasses. She has musicians from the Roanoke Symphony, ensembles from Radford University and Virginia Tech, and students from both universities coming - and me. I was asked early on, at the suggestion of a Tech professor, to give a seminar on leadership. Those who know me know that I love to talk and be in front of people, doing such on many previous occasions. However, I've never had to put a 90-minute seminar together before for young students, so it should be interesting - wish me luck! If you have any important leadership ideas or tips, feel free to email them to me!
