Hi Rob -

The piano recital went well and S8 is getting better each time - I have posted a video of it on FB. I also have him taking private Ukulele lesson from his grade school music teacher and he is starting to get the hang of that too. When I picked him up at the last lesson, the teacher had him doing some blues scales and I joked that it wont be too long and I will be hearing my boy playing Led Zepplin "Dazed and Confused" on the ukulele.

D6, S8, GF, her D4 and I arrived together at the recital and then XW and Ed arrived. I have no problem interacting with them although XW and GF did not say a word to one another which is fine with me.

Afterwards, we (minus XW and Ed) went to play in a nice park, hit some balls on the golf range and attended S8's Cub Scout Blue and Gold dinner. S8 actually hits the balls ok with a pink mid iron of his sisters. His sister always insists on using her driver and I need to have her focus more on the easier short irons. The 2 little girls were both dressed in beautiful pink Vietnamese silk dresses which is not something you see very often at a driving range.
