and a teensy bit chilled. The Marching Band Exhibition at the HS was today. I got there at 4pm and discovered, to my surprise, that I was "in charge" of the field crew. Yanno, you guys do have my email address *and* my phone number - d'you think there's a way to let me know this *before* I show up? Not that it's hard - we're kind of like traffic cops, in that most of time we're not even needed, but every once in a while....
One new band (Ann Arbor Huron), a few returning after absence (Dansville, Blissfield, Grass Lake) and the stalwarts (Saline, (jackson) Northwest, Stockbridge, Williamston). The usual suspects were good, AAHuron was very good, Stockbridge was amazingly good for its <20 people.
It started off chilly (<55F), but the temperature didn't drop like I expected it to. I didn't even deploy my light jacket, much less the puffy I'd brought along. I probably could have, but by the time I thought about it, we were nearly done and I wasn't really uncomfortable....
Tomorrow I have to run errands, Friday is set-up for a funeral meal (get to spend a couple of hours in the morning putting out table covers and extra chairs and making sure there's enough paper goods for the meal on Saturday). And I need to make a Jello salad sometime Friday. I guess I should buy some Jello, eh? And some fruit to go into it. I'll see what they've got at the grocer when I get there tomorrow.
Friday is (sort of) J's last day at work. It's his last day of work, in that he gets to take off the headset and turn off Teams, but he's been retained for a couple of months so he can do the other thing he was supposed to be doing since January, and couldn't do because he was teaching Indian programmers how to problem-solve in Linux.
