Matthew’s band competition this year

March 08, 2009 By: Mark Category: My stuff

Matthew plays percussion in high school now.

Every year, they have a band competition they call a ‘band festival’ It’s sponsored by the Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association.
For the section he’s in, they had it this year over in Warren Michigan.

This year, he took the bus from the school with the rest of the band. Sandy and I met him at the school where they were all competing so this year I didn’t have to spend time sitting around. We watched them perform three pieces and two sight reading parts.

I didn’t stay to find out how they ranked but should find out this week.

The City of Detroit is really boned.

April 05, 2008 By: Mark Category: My stuff, News clips

Here’s just what is in today’s Detroit Free Press….

They took all the T.V.’s out of the Detroit Police Department facilities. Rumor is that when the Mayor was indicted, all the police officers watching cheered. That didn’t go over too well with the upper ranks who are aligned with the Mayor.

Christine Beatty, the Mayor’s “sideline whore” was job hunting out of state in Atlanta and Alabama. When the court found out, they order her and her attorneys into court behind closed doors. The judge ordered her to stay within Michigan and has her now on an electronic tether. She’s currently out on $75,000 personal bond for perjury and obstruction of justice in connection with the text message scandal with the Mayor.

One of the city lawyers who was part of the “secret” deal to settle the wrongful termination lawsuit which in turn, brought out into the open the Mayor’s sexy text messages, is now changing her story. She originally told the court she wasn’t aware of signing any confidentiality agreement on the wrongful termination suit. Now she issues a letter to the court that she recalls signing it.

How much more bullshit is going to come out of this city’s leaders? I think Coleman Young’s ghost still haunts the city with this crew of idiot leaders.
