Well, I just got back from watching "STOMP" at Purdue, and it was unbelievable! The energy the performers had was electric. Not to mention the fact that they had amazing rhythm. They wore me out just watching them. LOL Our READ 180 teacher brought a group of middle school students down to watch tonight. I can't wait to hear what they thought of it. The kind of rhythm they could create with simple, everyday objects was incredible. Lots of fun!
It sure is great to live so close to a major university. We get big time events without having to live in the middle of a big city. Not that there is anything WRONG with a big city, but I like to go visit them, not live in them. :-)
Sunday night I was at Purdue's Elliott Hall of Music also. That one was for the United Concert with Michael W. Smith and Steven Curtis Chapman. Two Christian singers who have been around for quite a few years, but can still belt out the songs. It was a wonderful night of worship.
Well, its getting late, and I haven't had a lot of sleep the last couple of nights, so that's all for tonight.

A Change of Direction
It's been a long time since I did anything with my blog. In fact, it's been almost a year. I have decided to go in a new direction. I am going to make this more personal, and not so much on education and technology. I have enjoyed reading some friends and relative's blogs, and thought I would try my hand at writing about what often seems to be a rather blase life.
This has been our Spring Break week, but since my car's transmission recently needed to be rebuilt, going somewhere was out of the question. Instead, I have hung out in Remington, and basically just relaxed! Not all bad at all. There are a lot of things I have not gotten done that I probably should have, but Oh Well.
I attended my first Tri-County FFA Auction today in hopes of buying an older car for Scott to have so he can get back and forth from work until he leaves for boot camp in November. Mission accomplished on that one. He is now driving a 1989 Buick Park Avenue, which is actually in darn good shape considering it is 20 years old! It's interior is in better shape than my Sebring!! I got a pretty good price for it, but I will be eating mac and cheese till my next paycheck and beyond! It also lived through the great hail storm of 2006 and has the dings to prove it.
