OK, one thing Facebook is still good for is popping up pictures of Herbert and Ralphie 11 years later. They were such good boys. #proofofcat

Oh, he *narrates* it too? Definitely going up on the library reserve list!

I believe they may have discovered a miasma of incandescent plasma. #tmbg

Audition delayed by a week - I will not be Rimsky-Korsakovving tomorrow after all. Gives me some more time to work on solos for A Switch in TIme for Sunday's jazz concert, I guess. #trombone

Apparently, the Mauritshuis thinks it would be a romantic date to visit my wife at her office...

So I pretty much stop drinking, I've been working out regularly, I weigh less than I have since 1990, I've been practicing my bone every day for a week, and I'm feeling great. And I show up for jazz band rehearsal last night and Praveen asks if I'm ok because I look extra tired....

Really a challenge to go immediately from practicing Rimsky Korsakoff's trombone concerto to working out a solo for A Switch in Time, including changing horns. I wonder if I could copy a theme from one to the other... #trombone #jazzsky

Highly recommended!

Was very confused in the garage when it was time to go home from work - wait a minute, my bike doesn't have a white seat cover. Took quite a while to realize... #Amsterdam

We have a visitor to the office today. Really brings home the scale when you're on the 4th floor and have to look up to the the tops of the masts! #Amsterdam
