Saturday (Is A Special Day)

Today started out with a nice slow morning. We all agreed to just loiter happily while we could. Then rush! And now bedtime.

KJ did the performance portion of his musicianship exam down at UNLV at one. He sounded great through the door. He played several complicated scales in different playing styles, an etude, did a section of sight reading, named chords etc. by ear and then played four pieces, one from each musical era (Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Contemporary, just if you were curious. I didn't used to know these things). He has really worked hard for this and is relieved it's over. And great news, he said that as soon as he walked into the room that his nerves disappeared. So hooray.

I love Las Vegas. It's such a great city with great people. And I'm so glad that I hardly ever have to go downtown. The Strip is so far removed from what life is really like here. Thank goodness.

Then we had a nice time at the Whitaker's going away party. We will miss them! But will get to see them when we visit KC, so that's nice. I also learned tonight that Benson can ride a scooter like a boss. The more you know.

The end.
