Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

(looks east and waves at Drew) Hey. The truck may not be as internally messed up as originally feared. My mom's friend's husband, while an illiterate, lazy, behemothknows tons about car guts and can account for the new noises as other than transmission problems. But we won't know till Wednesday. Or later. Hec, sorry about Emmett and his dog friend. Too bad dogs are so bad at sending postcards.

Hi...I live on the sun. Great, huh?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Sorry about the travel craziness.

Thankfully I'm in the nicely air conditioned terminal. However I'm heading for Orlando, which means not only hot, but also wet.

Sorry to say, the heat is surely on in Orlando. About 91F here, and there. They beat us for humidity though. Only 41% while we are at 63%. A world of yuck.

I did work with middle schoolers on productions for 5 years and taught playwriting to 8th grade for a year.

It seems likely to me that both the frustrations and rewards would be high with this age group. Lots of emotions flowing.

Yeah, when it went well, I bet it was really great. When it didn't, NSM.

Teaching them was fun. It was also at an all girls school, so that tweaks the dynamic a bit as well. The playwrighting class was a lot of fun.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I'm looking forward to it, but I haven't taught that age group. I'll have 2 classes each of 6th, 7th and 8th plus directing 3 musicals per year. Three! Yikes.

I can see where getting girls to write at that age would be much much easier than getting boys to write.

It's good to hear the car might not be so bad, erika. Still totally sucks and another thing you guys don't need to deal with.

How long in Orlando, ND?
