A-Z Challenge – Y
Y stands for “Yoda”
Austin, 2005
I think Yoda of Episode V and VI was such a great character. The old and wise Jedi master’s charm was lost to me when the prequels came out and we had the CGI version of Yoda battling in epic lightsaber duels. It just wasn’t the Yoda I grew up with! I think Yoda was a casualty of George Lucas’ creative misdirection in the prequels. There was certainly a lot of magic lost in those three movies. A real shame! Happily, Episode VII brought back that swashbuckling feel of the original trilogy. I can’t wait for Episode VIII!
Goodnight

Hello! I am very tired and cannot post my daily photo… ok dang… here it is:

But I can’t really write much about it, except to say that this was an art project for our new office space… more on this later. I am so tired! No A-Z challenge post today. Will finish Y and Z this weekend!
But it was a fantastic day!

Concert time
Cedar Park, 2016
こんばんは！ Hello, how’s it going?
Today was a good day. At work, we are close to moving into our new office building and the final preparations are being made with the artwork that is going on the walls. Today we did a walkthrough to look at it and the art looks great! I am so pleased that it is coming together! Tomorrow we have our grand opening party for the Austin-based employees, so we’ll see if everyone likes it as much as I do. 😅 Fingers are crossed, but I am confident that everyone will be delighted.
This evening we attended my son’s Percussion Concert, which was a combination of percussionists from the High School, and the two Middle Schools that feed into it. Koa is in the 6th grade band, and his group performed one number. They did great! In the photo above, you can see some of the High School percussionists performing. I was amazed at some of the xylophone solos. They were unbelievable!
Anyways, it was a long day, but a very good one. Tomorrow is going to be another long one… I need some sleep!

A-Z Challenge – X
X stands for “Xylophone”
So, the letter X… and I thought, well, xylophone is one of the most popular x-words… and wow, we actually have a xylophone in our house this year! You see, Koa is in his middle school band, and he plays percussion. So we have a very large xylophone, with wooden keys… it’s the real deal! I never knew about them much, but they are pretty neat.
And, in a nice coincidence, tonight was his percussion concert! Below is a short video of one of the high school students playing a solo. It’s amazing, isn’t it? Wow… xylophones!
