Groovy moment
So, Little Smaug gets home from school yesterday, to the news of the OCS. She says, "Cool! When will it be ready?"
I reply, "They're saying the fall of 2013."
She comes back with, "You realize that will be my freshman year in college, right? You can sit in the stands. I'll be marching onto the field."
For those that don't know, she plays one of these:
BTW, the first one of you bastages that calls her BlazerSax,

It's a painful instrument to listen to a child learn to play, but when they finally figure it out, it's as if the heavens opened up and the angels poured forth God's grace.
Pardon my reverie. I was a kid in the 80s, a very saxophone-friendly time.

So when she gets her handle will it be BlazetteSax?
And as an aside, have you gotten her to learn "Baker Street" yet?
