“You may have heard that a dean is to faculty as a hydrant is to a dog” Alfred Kahn

As I find myself navigating different situations that previously I might have over-controlled in order to pre-determine the outcome, but have more or less played by ear, I realize that like anything else the release of control gets easier with practice

I made the Dean’s list apparently. Which is pretty strange since I’ve never overshot my goals quite so spectacularly.

Well, good for me I guess.

In other news, I got to move my daughter’s piano into my music room – and I’ve started the learning.

One of my friends hooked me up with a guy who is looking for a non-singing guitar player…..hey! That’s ME! so we’re going to try and get together and play. Things are power drifting into the right direction. While I have been content to previously let these things fall in my lap (as they did this time) as of last week, I had decided that I was going to play a new open mic night around the corner from my house. I haven’t prepped for it yet – but I’m in slight vacation mode. Things are looking like they’re flowing in the right direction though.
