"Little Boy Blue, Come blow your horn, The sheep's in the meadow..."

Yes, I know, he's wearing red - with a hood no less - and not blue! But there are sheep in the pasture, not wolves. However, the real question here is, how could a guy like me who hates France allow his son to play the French horn? Just another mystery for you to ponder this week...

K7 started the horn last week while K8 began the violin. K6 remains on the piano. The amazing thing is that our little church congregation in the rural Ozarks has a symphony orchestra. The lesson here? That no matter how rough your day, week, month, semester or year is, life is still full of pleasant and sweet surprises, so hang on a little longer - something good is coming your way.

I do not expect to be selling music CDs or iTunes any time in 2011, but who knows about 2012...
