Coming right up...

Round 67 of the interview/selection process for a dean position I thought, at least 63 times, that I had no chance of landing. This round will either be another presentation on co-curricular trends…or evening wear.
Good luck! When you are a dean, I will never NOT call you Dean-O. Also, marry the youngest faculty member in your department. It never doesn’t work.

Moving
alldirections:
Packing for a move. It’s been four years since I’ve traded spaces. I forgot how much this feels like packing for a fucking percussion ensemble concert by myself.
Sounds like you need a better packing assignment sheet…Good Luck!

New Big Ten Logo and Division Names Revealed →
Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Penn State are the “Legends” while Illinois, Indiana, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue, and Wisconsin are the “Leaders.”
And all of the Big Ten conference will now be a “Laughingstock” as word circulates about these horrendous choices.
My favorite part of the article (and one no one wants to talk about this close to Christmas:

Probably the phrase my students like hearing least from me (other than “Hey, I just got a call from the Choral Department, what are you doing next Friday?”) is “I’ve been reading this book…” because inevitably, I have 4-5 ideas for them to try out/think about regarding their playing, or studying, or career arc, or life in general.
Luckily for most of them, I...

playin some golf with Joe Pesci & Luke Wilson today—-great buddies and some great golf today!
It’s a foursome if Luke brings the double chin he’s been sporting in those AT&T commercials.
I might watch too much TV...
Me: Do you need help with that?
Daughter: No thanks. I've got everything under remote control.

Texas Tech hates success...
Sure, my take is a little different because, as a percussionist, being sequestered in a windowless room and forced to stand for hours at a time is called “Tuesday”.
One of my great joys of being a parent is finding...

Florida Gator lineman Carlos Dunlap, the defensive MVP of last year’s national championship game, was arrested this morning after being found asleep in his car….at a green light. Shockingly, he did “poorly” on his sobriety test and went to jail.
Tebow will offer to be his AA sponsor and all will be well in the world.
The real lesson here is never let Tim Tebow touch...

“The Braves are among the handful of clubs that have had discussions with Bean Stringfellow, who represents Billy Wagner, the veteran left-hander who could fill Atlanta’s need for a closer.”

Atlanta needs to call this off now. Not because they shouldn’t be spending money on Wagner—a 38 year-old ex-Met who may in fact be washed-up and...
Nobody panic.
It’s almost December in South Dakota and yet the grass is still green (I can still see the grass, for that matter), and we may hit 50 Monday and Tuesday. Not entirely sure what this means, but we’ll try to enjoy it.
Just thought I'd remind everyone...
Smashing Pumpkins’ “Tonight, Tonight” just came on the Sirius Alt. Rock ‘90’s channel. My uncle wrote/recorded the string arrangements for that chart.
I always forget about that.
Five newest songs in my kid's vocal repertoire:
1. William Tell Overture (seeing her sing this in her Arkansas cheerleader uniform is fan-TAS-tic)
2. Jingle Bells
3. Angels We Have Heard on High
4. All the Single Ladies
5. Take On Me
Watching Gameday this morning...
The guys on set were going around with “What I’ll remember about Tebow” stories this morning. I’m sorry I missed the news about his death. Was he in the car with Tiger?
Maybe it was the equipment...
Don’t know why everyone’s so worked up about Tiger. His driving has been getting worse ever since he fired Butch Harmon for Hank Haney.

I apologize for the toilet seat not making it in time. Otherwise, this crap is adorable. Props to Claire for playing backup… something?
Right, like we didn’t study lollipop drum when you were a percussion major…
Fired up about how fired up the kid is for the Macy’s Parade tomorrow. The holiday season is going to be fantastic this year.
