This summer I have been reading "David Copperfield," a book I always love to read. I love reading a classic Dickens novel while my mind is busy writing drill.

I spent a lot of time as a young band director worrying about all the things I didn't know, and worrying that my students would find out.

"Good things happen when you clean up." And of course, it's true! Keeping your spaces tidy is great for your mental health and peace!

Not everyone is going to agree with you.  In fact, someone will disagree with you pretty much all the time.  Sometimes people might agree, but many times they will not.

This hit me like a thunderbolt! It turns out that years of agonizing over every detail of a drill I was writing had prepared me perfectly for this work at our B&B!
