This morning I agreed to volunteer at our local high school for a regional solo and ensemble band contest. I will be directing people in the hallways.

Makes me wish I had actually been in band when I was in high school. It would have been fun.

Although I have many years of formal education, most of what I've learned has come from experimenting and trying to solve problems on my own. Once an idea for a project is set in my mind, it is all-consuming and one must learn everything possible about the subject on the way to the outcome. For learning is more than reading books and spoken word, it is hours of frustration, trial and error, and one sudden flash of insight when the world magically makes sense. It is during this moment when I am truely alive.
