I am off to a sandwich shop near Guitar Center for a "Showcase." Several of our students will be performing. Christopher, my "developmentally delayed" piano student, will be performing "Joy to the World." I look forward to that. We'll see who else shows up. How is your Sunday shaping up?

I hope it was fun to watch them perform. Sunday was wonderful with a Packers win over the Bears.

I thought of you when I heard a couple of minutes of the game on the radio. A classic rivalry.

@just4him Heh. I'll have to watch it. I think the 49ers are still "in it."

@TheHorse Yes, it is. We won in the last seconds with an interception in the endzone. Otherwise it would have gone completely different. The announcers were talking about a 2 point conversion so they would win if they got the touchdown. Praise God we stopped that touchdown with an interception.

That’s wonderful! Watching Christopher perform “Joy to the World” must feel like such a special milestone. I’m sure it’ll be a proud and joyful moment for both of you. Hope the rest of the performances are just as fun!

@annierose One kid (not one of mine) got lost and cried. I tend to go on stage with my students to support them.

@TheHorse - It's another very warm day, it's weird.

It's chilly and nasty looking outside. I'm warm and comfortable inside. I hope your students all do well and you enjoy the show.

@TheHorse That's too bad. I hope he didn't stress over it too long. I'm glad the rest of them did reasonably well.

It went OK. One kid had a sad moment when he forgot part of what he was supposed to play.

It was a rainy day so I spent time with surveys, cooking and updating some things. Nothing exciting but calm. How did the performance go?

@TheHorse That is great to hear. Wednesday, one of my granddaughters will do a solo at the Christmas event. She's been taking lessons for a long time but hiding how well she is doing from us. It will be a treat to see.
