Another blustery Memorial Day weekend in Northern Arizona. I always feel bad for the boaters who come to Lake Powell this weekend, because it always blows.
Note to self - don't have company on Memorial Day weekend: too windy for boating or barbecuing or anything outdoors.

Beautiful Day to Graduate
It's a beautiful day (cue U2 song) to graduate in Page, America. No wind, warmed back up, but not too much. I'm not too keyed in to the senior class anymore since I'm out of the classroom, band room and not teaching leadership, but I hope for those gracing the stage tonight that they are pleased with their accomplishments and if they know they've got better, that they go DO better!
Congratulations PHS Class of 2011!
. . . and to those who graduated yesterday from Tse Yaato HS, I was especially proud of those of you who struggled in the halls of PHS, but stuck with it and finished what you started. 43 graduates form TY is a new record I believe and it was great to see 14 of you from the PHS Alt Ed program with caps and gowns and smiles - best of everything to you as well.

Tonic
The current view is
2 parts stunning,
2 parts Spring,
4 parts troubling and
2 parts quiet plans.

Whoa, It's March!
Well it looks like I took the month of February off, but actually I have been spending most all my time outside of work on a nonprofit performance group called Dark Sky Percussion. DSP has 31 members from 17-22 and is based out of Scottsdale, Arizona. We teach percussion and leadership skills.
Dark Sky is right smack in the middle of our competitive season and are having a great year four. Our show is called Forever visually and musically portraying the emotions of memories that can live on and on. You can follow us on Facebook and Twitter:

Cold Weather Indoors and Out
Can the view be cold? There is a certain look to the winter sky, but I'm not sure I can see cold. What I saw today were the storm clouds sitting over Kaibeto and Inscription House (to our southeast) and the word came in that it was snowing heavily out there.
Indoors, there is a chill as well. You can't always see it, but you can feel it: teachers growing weary, fed up and tired. When it gets like this, it creates a chill all over the school and students beware: conditions are hazardous, don't drive too fast and tap your breaks often.
Some may be fed up with the cold weather, but the indoor climate of Fed Up is icy cold and just as dangerous.
