The Busy Season
19 November 2018 | Hanover Park, IL
Cloudy and chilly. Low 30s.
As the sun sets on another year, I lurch into my busy season. Sunday afternoon was a Thanksgiving get together with Pat and her kids. From there, I went to play trumpet at Mass that evening, where I was also lector and communion minister. Thanksgiving morning I will play at Mass again, and then Pat and I will go to my daughters for Thanksgiving. Friday will be at my brothers in Wisconsin. Saturday morning at 6am I will be working the cleanup shift at PADS (program for the homeless). Saturday afternoon after PADS, I play carols with a brass group for the Salvation Army. Instead of a bell ringer, you get a brass group playing. Downside is playing outside when it is 40. Sunday morning I will play at Mass again and then go to rehearsal at Harper that evening. Additional rehearsals and band concerts will follow in the next few weeks.
