It’s Spring Concert Time! My nephew’s elementary school had its annual extravaganza letting us parents and loved ones know what their kids have been up to.
Every Monday, I have dropped my nephew off to Brookside Elementary with his alto saxophone in tow, picked up the same sax at afterschool because he forgot about it; and as recent as this morning, had venture back to his school because he left his at home.
So I had to sit through another one of these shows. While I was and am proud of Cydney and him at these events, I still have to sit through other kids’ crap. Luckily, I have my phone, Twitter, and a following of people wo have enjoyed me tweeting through these experiences. So without further ado, here we do again…
And now to tweet through my nephew's spring concert.

One of the kids from my baseball team is in the orchestra…with a keyboard. But I don't hear him. The keyboard is placebo.
