2023 and Me

It's been a week since I have posted a reflection, apologies for how busy life has been.  But, on the 99th day of 2023 I surely have an inspiration for the 23 and me theme.  4/9/2023 is Easter and, for me, it's not Easter until there has been Easter Brass and Me.  And, we played the Prelude and the Postlude today and it was a needed blessing for me.  I am so thankful for Michael and Katelyn and Adam and, of course, Sarah who played with me in the quintet.  Music is such a powerful influence in my life and, again, it's not Easter without Easter Brass.  HAPPY EASTER, ALL!

There is only one option for today's 23 and Me reflection.  On 4/2/23, I thought a lot about Alexa Faith and Me.  I know where I was on the morning of 4/2/02.  I woke up in the recliner on the HUP OB floor, as Alexa made us wait 16 hours until 2:16PM.  And on the 92nd day of 2023, we celebrated Alexa Faith Sherr on her 21st birthday.  I am so proud to be Alexa's dad.  So happy for the community of family, friends, classmates, and church members who have been our villagers in the life of Alexa and we are happy with the accomplishments she has experienced and the hopes for those she will accomplish in the future.  It was a great day to celebrate a great "kid" who, is now 21.  How in the heck did that happen??? 

  I am with Clippy.  April Fools Day and Me have never really mixed well.  I guess it should be April Fools Day and I, but this reflection is not about grammar.  The best thing about the 91st day of 2021 is that tomorrow will be Alexa's Birthday.  So, on 4/1/2023, I dodged the rain, set up the Snack Stand, and caught up on some work.  Also watched some NCAA Final Four.  But I did not play any pranks and, thankfully, I do not think any pranks were played on me.  And that is just fine.
