just stuff

hi there!
i know its been a while..... sorry. this last week has been chaotic.
i've been super busy with my band doing various performances all week. on wednesday, we performed for the Area II Black History Month celebration, and it was so great. my kids played jazz music, and everyone loved them and they did do well. And we wore our new band shirts that are blue polos with the bulldog logo and music notes in the corner and it says SAMS advanced band.... they looked sharp!
and then today i had the Korean American Interscholastic Activities Conference Honor band. We had rehearsals all day long at one of the International schools here in seoul, and then they had their concert in the afternoon. It was amazing. these kids worked so hard all day, with little to no complaints about their mouths being tired, and then did an awesome job for the cocnert. it was great.
and now i'm pooped! it was such a draining week. ahhh, relaxation.
tomorrow luke and i are going snowboarding, which will be very fun. and i'm going to take lots of pics with my new camera!!! yay! i can't wait to test out all the cool features it has. i took a video clip of todays performance and it records the visual and the audio. it is a COOL camera! :) i'll hopefully be able to send some good action shots!
so there's the update for now.... love you love you too.
alrighty then, catch ya later dudes!!!
love, mimby

a typical scene

here in korea, we have a really great subway system that takes you almost anywhere in seoul. some trains are really crowded, but others are not too bad and you can generally find a seat. however, no matter what train you are on, you will see a typical scene such as this:

these people fall asleep on the subway ALL THE TIME!!!!! mouths open, snoring type of falling asleep.
and i wonder.... how do they know which stop to get off on, or do they just run the loop for hours until they wake up and figure out where they are?? so bizarre!
just wanted to share..... heehee
