So on Track

The weather has been so weird this year!  I am sitting here at work in capri pants and a short sleeve shirt, but just two days ago I was bundled up in a heavy coat and long pants.  A few weeks ago (November 1), Mike took our family to a JMU football game.  These are not something that we do too often.  We tend to go to the basketball games, but not the football for some reason.  We mainly wanted Ryan to see the marching band since he is in band at school.  We thought it would be neat to see a band that has it together and is MUCH larger that the Elkton Middle School band.  :)  He was impressed.  He kept commenting on the fact that they were "really on track."  I did not know what this meant for a bit, but then realized he meant, in my language, in sinc with each other.  I said "are you guys usually on track?"  "Sometimes" was his comment.  I think he enjoyed it.  Sadly, it was so cold and had rained the night before so the bleachers were very cold and damp since we did not have enough towels to dry off really well.  We made it thorough halftime and left.  We saw what we came to see though.

Before we went into the game, we ran into one of my former students--Josh Calderon.  He is a tuba player in the marching band.  It was great!  The kids took their picture with him for me.  Not sure they wanted to, but they did without a gripe.  Besides it being such a cold day--we had a lot of fun.  And . . . JMU ended up winning!  After we left they started winning.  :)
