Kirstyn is Master of Ceremonies!

Today, Kirstyn had a reader’s theater in school, where she acted as Master of Ceremonies!  She was very excited to do this and did a GREAT job!  The theater was a collection of readings about famous African Americans.  They were:  1)  Phyllis Wheatley and the Famous Poets of Yesterday, The Tuskegee Airmen, The Great Migration, and The Scientists Hall of Fame.  Not only was she the MC for the entire program, but she was also the main narrator for the Tuskegee Airmen reading.  Unfortunately, I had to work, but Angela was able to go see her performance.  Go Kirstyn!

Sarah Solo and Ensemble Performance

Today Sarah went to Downer’s Grove North High School and participated in the Illinois State Solo and Ensemble Festival.  She played a very hard piece that her private flute lesson teacher had given her (at least it looked incredibly hard to me)!  She did a great job and the judge was impressed!  🙂  Naturally, she said that she made some mistakes but if she did, I didn’t hear them.  I just want to be the proud dad!  🙂

Keep up the GREAT work Sarah!

Customer Advisory Board Dinner

Tonight I had a wonderful dinner and activity in downtown Chicago!  At work, I am a member of the Customer Advisory Board for LogMeIn, a vendor we work with that provides us the ability to remote into people’s computers from anywhere.  They had a dinner at Smith and Wollensky’s Steak and Chop House in downtown Chicago.  It is one of the best of it’s kind in the city.  I invited two of of my other collegues to come with.  As part of the evening’s activities, they asked me to stand and give a short presentation to the group about how we were using the product.  We have saved a TON of money by using it.

The dinner was awesome and that was just the appetizers!  I was almost full after that.  Dinner (after the casual appetizers) consisted of crab cakes, a 14 oz mouth-watering New York strip steak, garlic mashed potatoes, vegetables, and triple-layer chocolate cake.  Yum!  I drove home home almost ready to burst!  It was a LOT of fun!  I enjoy doing things like this.
