First off I just want to say, It makes me ridiculously uncomfortable asking people for money. With that said, I sent a version of this letter to KC Crosby of the Lexington City Council yesterday after she helped to spearhead an effort to get March Madness Marching Band some much needed funds for our trip [...]

Will Would Have Been Proud
For those of you who may not know my little cousin Will was paraplegic. From a very young age he was in a wheelchair, braces or could be found crawling around on the floor. His spirit was undeniable, he had an amazing love of life and adventure. I think that if he were alive today [...]

A Year Of Growth
It’s less than a week until I head off to the outskirts of Berea, Kentucky for the Clear Creek Music Festival once again. It’s a special time of year for a lot of friends and even more special for me as it’s kind of the anniversary of a lot of substantial and greatly needed changes [...]
At around 1:10 or so you can totally almost hear me doing the vocal part on Seven Nation Army. I’m doing my best Jack White impression, I promise. March Madness Marching Band now has our own website! http://www.marchmadnessmarchingband.com/ It’s not much right now, but you CAN donate to us! We’ve applied for 501c3 status and [...]

Christmas Socks
This morning I was in Meijer looking at Christmas lights for my drum for the parade on Friday night and also for some decorations for the office at work. I was browsing around the Christmas stuff and saw Christmas socks. And it made me kind of sad. What did Rachel want last year for Christmas? [...]
I posted this today on the discussion group of the March Madness Marching Band and I thought I would just cross post it here because playing with this group of people has truly been a joy and a pleasure and I encourage you to come join us if you want to: I’ve been thinking since [...]

Chiropractic
I’m a big believer in chiropractics. I’ve been seeing one again for 12 weeks and the amount of energy I have along with how my body is functioning so much better has made the 45 minutes I spend in their office 3 times a week completely worth it. I haven’t felt this good in YEARS.
I had a bunch of random thoughts tonight while I was shopping for groceries. Here are the ones I remember: If I buy a bottle of shampoo that has 33% more free, then I buy another one does that mean I came out with 66% free? And if there was a third I could buy, [...]
