I Feel the Need...The Need for.....Blogging?

So our trip is quickly coming to an end, and I'm starting to feel a little torn.  Torn because I'm feeling the need to get back and get to work on what I want to accomplish in this upcoming school-year, but I also enjoy getting to spend so much time with my family.  Brenna is certainly starting to feel the need to return as well, she's been asking for Annie and Westin and to go to Brenna's house all day today.
I was able to go see Hancock today.  A good film, but it could have taken just a few more minutes to delve into some details that they chose not to go into.  I'll spare those details until a later date to give everyone an opportunity to see it.  Will Smith is a good enough reason to go see this movie.  Having said that, I would give it a 3.5-out of 5, good enough for a matinee, not good enough for the prime-time price.
I get to play trombone for my parents church tomorrow, and I feel that I really should have taken a few weeks out of my summer to practice some.  Now don't get me wrong, I don't sound like some of my students or anything, but I don't sound as good as I know I can.  I'm very fortunate that my parents are friends with the band director here and he was gracious enough to loan me his personal horn to play.  I'm looking forward to playing with my mom as she accompanies me.  It's very nice to have someone who I don't have to practice hours with because we've played long enough together that a few short practices are all we really need to work off the rust.
I think that's about it.  I'm still thinking about some of the ideas my friend Billy brought up to me for Compass' new series, and mulling over what I want to say, so stay tuned.
