My parents and brother, Jac's parents, sister, cousin and our 2 nephews all came in to visit for our graduation and it was great to see everyone.
Got to play some golf with my dad and brother, parties, hangouts galore.

Last day of school
The last day of school has come and gone, so I think I'd like to remember it by chronicling the days' events:
Traffic was great on the drive in. That's always a plus.
My good friend Cari gave me an awfully nice graduation gift of the Omnibus recordings of Leonard Bernstein. YES!!!!!
I got to help one last student with her homework while my cohorts were busy with about 10 other students...yay MUS 605B.
Lunch with my good friends from the theory hallway (best officemate in the world Christine, Emily, Jane, Alex, Scott) at Red River Cafe. How fitting; and what's more, I'll never forget the indigestion (and the cameo by the ever-elusive Lachlan Fife).
Pictures with Christine in our office...sad, but awesome (some pics below).
Greatest joke ever coupled with the discovery of the Barber piano sonata. What an awesome piece. Scott and Stanton will remember this scenario:
I'm plucking around on the piano in their office for a few moments then stop. All of a sudden, Scott says "well, that's annoying." A brief pause by me and I walk out, to the laughter of the office and the whole hallway, in the background Scott saying: "no, no! I wasn't talking about you...come back!" He was in fact remarking on how he couldn't find a recording of Barber Second Symphony on youtube. HILARIOUS.
Our first meeting as directors of "Threat Level Orange" or "Zilker Oad Project" (real name to be decided), with Lane and Stanton.
Beers at Crown and Anchor with the hilarious Josh Shank, Max, Paul Marbach, Stanton, Alex and Scott.
Finally, closed out the evening with a great performance of Beethoven's 7th and other works (including the fantastic solo work of Letitia Jap on Lalo's Symphonie Espagnole) by the UTSO.
Busy, fun-filled, sad, but great last day of school. CHEERS!!
ps...topped it off with my brilliant and patient wife Jac at home, watching the Lakers lose to the Mavs in game 3 of the NBA Playoffs Second Round (Mavs lead 3-0) and a little bit of Iron Chef America, battle Wreckfish.
