Brent recently emailed me about a cassette tape we made when we were kids. We did various comedy skits. I only really remember being the radio announcer for “Brent and the Spits”. The rest of the tape is kind of a blur. I also think there is a short reading of “Puss in Boots”.

I asked Brent if he had the tape or if I did. He wasn’t sure. I have a case of cassette tapes in my house somewhere. Maybe it’s in there. I saw the case sometime in the last month, but now I can’t find it. It’s driving me a little crazy. I’ve been going into the basement every once in a while to look in a few boxes. It’s such a mess though. An organized search would take more energy than just opening a box here and there. I may never find it…

At least there’s a path to the washer and dryer.

My CD player at school is malfunctioning. I listen to music every morning as I do my schoolwork, so I’d be in serious trouble if I didn’t have an alternative. As it turns out, I do have an alternative. My CD player also has a connection that my phone fits into.

Fortunately, I loaded many of my classical music CDs onto my phone before I went to Maui. I thought I might be teaching Music Appreciation there, so I wanted to have lots of music for appreciating.

Yesterday as I waited for handbells and choir practice, I listened to Beethoven’s 3rd and 9th symphonies. It’s nice working music.

The classical music albums dont have pictures.

It has snowed a few times since Christmas. It has been small amounts, but the issue with snow in Baltimore is that it’s often right at 32 degrees, so it can be slippery. Plus, drivers here don’t like snow very much.

Yesterday it started snowing around noon. Baltimore County schools called out one hour early. We already were having a weird schedule because of midterm exams for the middle schoolers. The early dismissal really threw us for a loop. I guess it’s fun to have some chaos every once in a while. I guess.

Fortunately, it didn’t stick to the roads too badly.
