What do you think of us now, Abe? Today, we bent the arc of the moral universe one tick back towards justice. We have so much farther to go.
This winter has a little bit of everything....
@hamiltonthemusical taught us to keep the faith. We will be one nation again.
2020: crap in so many ways, but A+ in nature.

@cgav8r I immediately thought of you.

Not all magicians wave wands....
Itās been an amazing season. Itās gone by shockingly fast. In a little more than a week, your girl will conduct her band for the last time, at Lucas Oil Stadium, arguably the most important venue in the competitive marching arts. From the first time I set foot in that building in 2017, Iāve wanted to go out on that field. The tricky thing about achieving your dreams is that then theyāre over and you need new ones. The end will come, and my heart will break, and my heart will rise, and we will go on. Itās been an incredible run. I wouldnāt give back a minute.
I havenāt done a Madras Monday post in forever. But since itās still 95 degrees here in the Southland, Iāll just keep looking like a Kodachrome slide of my dad in 1964.

Tomorrow is the last day of our last band camp. Your girl turned 17 on Tuesday and celebrated by conducting. And sheās about 17 shades more tan than this picture, which was taken the first week.
Itās been a wild ride of a summer but this marching season is already shaping up to be something special. I hear school starts next week, but as usual her semester will start for real on November 1. Before that, weāll walk out together onto the turf at Lucas Oil Stadium for her last performance and theyāll call her name as drum major and my heart will leap, getting to help her live her dream. Stay tuned: itās going to be incredible.

You know, @oak-and-maple, I wouldnāt rule it out.
From the time school-related obligations ended in early June, āsummerā was 47 days. She spent 5 of those at drum major camp, and another 35 at our state-sponsored governorās scholars program. In total, she was gone more this summer than the rest of her life put together.
Weāre a small, tightly knit family. It was tough. But it was great for her. And in each instance, she found a crew of new friends quickly, supplemented by a friend or two she brought with her. It bodes well, for college and for life in the real world. So Iād watch your mailbox; that bracelet might arrive any day.
Jesus I look and feel like I fell out of an exhaustion tree and hit every branch on the way down.
Same. Hence, no vacation selfie. In other news, my dad was discharged from post-hospital rehab almost a week ago and is mending well. Best news of the summer, really.
I donāt care if youāre 50. If your onliest child made you a friendship bracelet while she was gone most of the summer at her high tone academic summer program, by cracky you will wear it. With pride.
Things donāt feel right if I donāt drop a drum corps post this time of year. This is Madison Scouts, Monday night in Charleston, WV (my wifeās hometown). Itās always awesome to be back in the stadium where she was a high school marcher and color guard member.
To quote a recent trope, praise be. My dad made it from the hospital to rehab and we were able to take our planned road trip. This is the sunset over the Wisconsin River last night in Spring Green.

Most-valued human quality: resilience?
Iāve reached that point in my life where summer is a treasure. Granted, we all only get so many perfect summer days. Thatās just as true when youāre 18 as when youāre 50. But it means more, is more palpable, as time marches on.
Weāre in our second full week of 16 being gone for her summer academic institute. That started 5 days after she got back from drum major camp. Total days off this summer: 8.
After the ceaseless series of challenges that was junior year, I had some fool notion weād spend some time getting caught up on the home front before we go on vacation in mid-July. Instead, we dove headfirst into drum corps season. Couple late nights out, plus one road trip. Not a lot but it adds up when youāre already bone tired. Though it is so worth it.
Tuesday night we were at a performance under the summer sky about 90 minutes away. Wednesday night at the same time, they were wheeling my dad into emergency surgery. It went well, heās starting to recover appropriately, but itās been a lot. My mom is working her way up to needing a hip replacement, so thereās some interesting juggling happening at our house. Given that Iām an only child, my wife has been a literal godsend. Itāll get harder when band camp starts but weāll manage.
Thereās been no time to think. Or really to feel. Just time to react. Iām weirdly okay right now. Maybe Iāll crash when things calm down. Or maybe Iāll just keep going. Iām in the solutions business. Sometimes big problems feel good.
Relish your perfect summer days. - D
@midatlanticmusings, hereās your SDS. For me, Iām right on time and perfectly composed. Still adjusting to 16 being gone for another month. But vacation is in three weeks, and drum corps season starts today. Now if it would just stop raining every &$@?! day.
