How sick is it that I'm looking forward to the fall?
It doesn't hurt that come September my new home town becomes the Walleye capital of the world.
But, the bands start up, new music happens, the weather gets better (I'm not one for plus 35), all in all a great season.
Angie (my fiance)'s son Jacob is starting Kindergarten. Which started me thinking of all the little ones this band has running/crawling around. Also, those that are on the way.
I know Alan Ford's lovely wife is due pretty darn soon. Well planned Alan, having a baby in the off season, very smart! We're all excited for you guys, a little terrified that there's gonna be offspring of Al running around but we'll be fine.
New news out for us is the Chorneys are expecting (saw it on Facebook plus Dave told me) that should pad my drum corp. I'm betting on triplets with God like grip and technique.
It is really exciting. A big reason I love this time of year is we see everyone's families more. We have bbq's and put the sticks and chanters down long enough to enjoy each others company. It's great to see everyone growing up.
Grade 3 PM Mark's son is growing faster than SFU's drum corp. It's crazy to remember him in Scotland '08 running around dinner with Ian Walker.
Grade 2 Bass drummer Chris Brown's son Casey is kid now, seems he was a baby not so long ago.
Again, this all pads my drum corp as I'm assuming all these children will be drummers......
Anyways while most species on earth look forward to spring for new babies etc, I find in the pipe band world (especially this year) we're all excited for the fall. A whole lot of newness coming our way.
Best of luck to the upcoming new parents! We're all very excited for you.
Sean
