School concerts, Fires, & Christmas Eve

The WAHS choirs sang in front of the student body today and lived to tell the tale. You gotta give them credit. Standing in front of your peers under bright lights and singing at them while they ogle you can be pretty unnerving. They did an awesome job. And there were no beachballs in the audience this year. Things are looking up.

I just got word that another director I know had a pretty bad house fire a few days ago. Thank goodness for email. Hopefully we'll be able to reach enough collegues and friends to make sure his families Christmas is still a happy one. Although sad, it helps you keep things in persepective. We all spend too much time whining about things that really aren't all that important. The family is all safe, but they lost the dogs. Keep the Camerons in your prayers.

And speaking of Christmas.....it comes early for us. The family always opens presents the first full day of Christmas vacation. This way we are free to make the rounds to family on Christmas Day. It also gives me a few extra days to play with my toys...er....the kids, I mean. Santa has already arrived, and it isn't even 11 pm yet. The first Christmas in years with "no assembly required!
