There was a study that found something like 73% of therapists on a major insurer's list were unavailable. [link] Guess that's one way for the insurers to avoid paying for it.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
We're about 35 hours into tech (over 4 days) and it feels like a rare strain of Tourettes is spreading. People are muttering "Pickalittle", "Shipoopi", and "Baaaalzac".
On Friday we will literally have 76+ trombonists here to perform a 15 minute parade/press stunt. We keep getting notices that "It will be LOUD".

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Seriously. When I first moved to Philly I had to see a specialist, recommended by my in-network GP, and found myself slapped with a $750 bill for some clown to look up my nose for 5 minutes and declare there was nothing more to do. It hadn't even occurred to me that a health insurer could just refuse to cover someone the government had already licensed to practise medicine. Car insurers don't only pay out if they have an existing agreement with the street on which you had an accident.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Can confirm. And I've never been in a group of more than like 30 trombones!

So, I have some exciting news: we've booked tickets to go see Ryan's favourite musical! We'll all be seeing it during his school break at the end of September!
His favourite musical is Hamilton! We have tickets to see Hamilton!
And we're seeing it on Broadway!
Which is to say: we're coming to America!
