I’ve been at my parents house the last week, as I’m down here in Tennessee to teach for 2 weeks at Young Scholars. This is the view from my parents’ deck. I love sitting out there and reading, or just enjoying the nice weather.

Here is a photo of one of my classes. They are busy at work in creating their own dance/techno music, for the class called “Your Own Mix”. The other class I teach is Intro to Programming, where they learn a bit of Java and learn how to write games.

The program has been around for 23 years, and I was in the very first Young Scholar’s program. It is another amazing program, and my mom is the director.

The Kids on Stage Summer Academy is run by my dad. They have an amazing program where the kids come together and learn how to be part of a band. They practice together, and at the end they do a concert. This photo is from the stage that was setup for the group.

I became a God parent today to Inara. She is very adorable. Today was her naming ceramony, where people came by and gave her wishes for her life.

I’m very excited to be her Godparent, and I am looking forward to the next many many years ahead of us.
