Funny choir-related dream I had

I had this funny dream.  It was actually about a year ago.  In this dream my choir director told me he couldn't use me in choir anymore because... well, just read below:

Barlow: "I'm sorry, Joel, but I just can't use you anymore."

Joel: "Really?! Why not?"

Barlow: "Because your voice sounds like a bad oboe reed."

The funny thing is I don't know much about oboe reeds, but I looked up "bad oboe reed" 

on YouTube and came up with this demonstration:

How right I was!

Just found out this afternoon that Performance Today will air UCA's performance of C.V. Stanford's "The Blue Bird" tomorrow. I thought we would eventually get something of ours on the show.

More Guppies

I have been inundated with Guppy babies. There are about a dozen guppy babies in the main tank and I transferred a couple more to the smaller tank, in which there are now six fry. I may have gotten more than I bargained for with this guppy breeding experiment!
