Last week of the season
It all comes down to Durand on Saturday. The Oiler Marching Band has improved continuously this season, but they're young, and the show is very challenging. Still, entering the final week of competition, Mt. Pleasant is in eighth place in Flight III.
The top 10 bands head to Ford Field next weekend for the state finals. The competition this year has been as intense as I can ever remember it.
The guard's looking great this year.
Highly talented seniors like Haruki have provided the inspiration for the more than 30 first-year marchers.
And last weekend at West Bloomfield, Mt. Pleasant collected a 17.9 on its music ensemble score - a remarkably high score. Overall, the Oilers broke 70 at West Bloomfield.
For Katherine, the senior, this weekend and the shot at one more trip to Ford Field means a lot. She'll be pouring her heart and soul into it.
We've been trying to do our part, too, to support the band. Before home games, Kissy Missy and I have been selling Oiler seat cushions. Above, she turns to the flag as Robert conducts the National Athem before the Arthur Hill game.
There will be seven Flight III bands at Durand, and Linden, Trenton and Mt. Pleasant have to be considered the favorites.
It's all about the music, the marching, the effect. Don't stop believing.
Legs - Paris Fashion Week
« Les jambes des femmes sont des compas qui arpentent le globe terrestre en tout sens,
lui donnant son équilibre et son harmonie. »
"Women legs are like pairs of compasses wich are pacing up & down the globe
in every directions, keeping earth its balance and harmony"
François Truffaut in "L'Homme qui aimait les femmes"
October Wrap Up
October has flown by at this address. That may be partly due to a wave of illness some call the H1N1. Here the symptoms were pesky, but mild, compared to what we've heard from others. Fortunately, it has passed and maybe the exposure will keep us out of harm's way for the rest of flu season.This week there has been some scrambling to track down hand-sized pumpkins and organize a holiday craft for 30 kids. After visiting the area grocery stores and coming up short, I was saved by a sympathetic young farmer. She completely understood my dilemma and gathered together a box of Jack-Be-Little pumpkins, stems intact, for me to pick up even though her farm stand (in a wonderful old barn) was closed that day due to inclement weather.
My hands are still speckled with splotches of stubborn black paint and there are spots of black paint on the basement floor that didn't use to be there. But, my young crafters will never know the excitement leading up to their party. They will be transforming the now black pumpkins into spiders, complete with googly eyes and pipe cleaner legs. Maybe a little glitter for extra fun.
Before the month wraps with a weekend of Halloween haunting, I wanted to include a reminder that it also marks the end of Breast Cancer Awareness month. While it's been refreshing to see the NFL players wearing pink this October, I hope they'll continue to show their support through the end of their season. It's not like anyone is going to stop thinking about this scary disease and the women we know whose lives have been affected. We'll continue to post pink.

Proficiency(Technique) to receive a Reward
One Day, A Lady Lost her purse in a very busy department store.
She searched everywhere she had visited, but just couldn't find it.
Finally, a little Boy approached her and asked, "Ma'am, is this your purse?"
Jubilantly, she grabbed the purse and cried, "Yes! Yes, it is! Thank you,
Thank you so much!"
Then she looked inside the purse and was suddenly dazzled(confused).
"But how strange... when I lost it, I had only 'A Hundred Dollar Note',
but now, I have Five Twenties!"
The Boy replied, "That's because the last time I returned a lady's purse,
She didn't have any change for a reward!".
