like a playful dog

I had trouble with test final etiquette too. Ah well c’est la c-…

Isn’t it easier to just shoot him?

Jason shoulda gone to my school. There were no costumes or anything, but when you finished, you got to go outside and eat pizza and play on the court. sigh Oh those high school memories.

That’s strange, I remember getting finals in ALL my elementary school grades…

Boy, is Jase going to be disappointed when he hits middle school …

lol what on earth is a flugelhorn ? ! ? ! ?

A flugelhorn is a member of the valved brass wind instruments family, similar to a trumpet or a coronet.

In terms of timbre, it falls around;

Trumpet - Coronet - Flugelhorn - (no current instrument) - French Horn.

Hey, Jase - the library’s closed today, but I hear they’re playing Sousa @the Symphony tonite!

FYI - The Chuckster is playing a flugelhorn:

Risitas, not all libraries are closed on Sundays. I ought to know! :)

“Have him neutered.”

I am pretty sure that would not fix the problem.

He reminds me of my nephew.

He reminds ME of my nephew’s uncle. ;)

Jason reminds me of myself when I was his age… right up until I was leaving high school. LOL. Poor Page… she really needs to develop a more positive outlook to her studies.

My daughters college (College of Wooster) actually has a parade with the bagpipes playing at the deadline for all of the Senior Projects. It is quite the mad celebration - Jason would love it.

Sadly, in my case the soundtrack for finals would have been more of a dirge or at least the Hitchcock theme - Funeral March for a Marionette.

A flugelhorn is essentially a marching french horn, it’s shaped like a trumpet. Just like a flugelbone is a trumpet-shaped trombone.

He’s so excited…. yup he’ll be disappointed when he gets to middle school.

Somehow, I think he will take over middle school. :)
