This second concert ended the 97th season of summer band. Thunderstorms threatened, so the concert was moved to the band building (for the second time since I’ve been playing.) The curtains drawn cover up the wireless access points mounted on the back side walls of the main rehearsal room. I normally dislike playing the concerts indoors, but it was so hot and humid and storm-incubating-like that I didn’t mind being inside.

I’ve said it before on here, but I think one of the most powerful websites I read is postsecret.com. It’s an anonymous community postcard-blog, published weekly on Sundays of secrets people can’t say but can artistically express on a postcard and share with thousands. (Similar to how people can’t talk to their doctors, but they’ll ask Dr Drew on Loveline in front of thousands.)

Anyway, if you don’t read postsecret, you should. This week Frank posted a video, so check that out too. It starts with one of my all-time-favorite postcards (not the frog.)

I need to pickup the latest book.
