Sometimes work and pleasure need to intermingle. Sometimes it helps clear the mind and to get one's priorities straight. I think that is what I am needing right now. Tomorrow I will be flying to Pennsylvania to represent the Lone Star Symphonic Band at the Association of Concert Bands Convention. I'll be mingling with other community band members / officers.
