Absence Makes the Posts Bigger

I am still new to being an incredibly busy person. I remember hearing that it's the busy people that get the most done. Maybe, but they fail to tell you that the busy people also end up with the longest lists of things they haven't done yet, too. 

I understand that blogging is about creating content. It's on my list.

So today - meant to get to it yesterday - I am writing one huge post filled with both information and entertainment.

It's important that you know we have changed the date for our end-of-the-year performance/tea. It is now happening May 18. More information will follow, but please get that Saturday afternoon on your calendar.

I want to remind you about Monday nights. At 5:00 on Mondays in our room at CUMC we do an after school hour of violin. Extra help, a chance for the kids to do some practice or some unstructured playing, a lesson for/with Mom or Dad, a chance to talk to me about anything at all. That's what Monday nights are for. Take advantage, please.

Then there's this.

Please consider coming. Yes, I know it's kind of late. It was on my list.

And finally, some examples of the hard work the students do. Or future blackmail material. ("Are you sure you want to do that? Maybe you want me to post your River Dancing to your feed. Maybe you want your friends to see that.") Either way.

It all started with this

And you have to admit that if you encountered that, you'd decide to record it, too.
Of course, once an opportunity to perform for a camera appeared everybody had some performance to share.
That meant we got this reply to the River Dance above.

That led to this.  And as I say during the video, I blame my duo partner Mindy. I was horrified to learn that they are happy to sing every one of the billion "verses" of the thing.

And finally, when you must do something because you can't get your elaborate plans off the ground you resign yourselves to French Folk Song.

So, there's some content for you.
I should be practicing. It's always on my list. And Sunday is coming fast. I hope to see you there.
