So yesterday was MACS (Michigan Association of Christian Schools). It beats school, thats all I can say. We once again pointed out that we play sports, not music. You go into this school (Bethany Christian) and the rooms are decked with MACS trophies. Their little band and orchestra rooms had more than our entire senior high and junior high combined. This is what they live for. We want to have that last minute p.k., or that last second game winning shot, or even a home run. They want to have that breathtaking performance on their oboe, or take first place in the science fair and academic testing, or even take all three places in textile design or some other weird category. I heard that some of these kids get up at 5:30 to practice their instruments before school, then practice at school, then go to a lesson, then come home and practice. Can you say obsession? They also had to wear bowties (guys) and prom dresses (girls), that would really bite. Here we are running around throwing stuff at each other and they just walk around with their sousaphone clutched under one arm hoping that they got a 1 rating. But enough said. I don't want flak from all of the people from those other shools.

And just remember, you never ask someone how long they've been diabetic. Shame on you if you ever have.

Peace out
