There are some Sick Puppies out there ...
It's that time of year for me, once again. Being a military musician, the two craziest times of the year are around 4th of July, and Christmas.
I am way behind on stuff, and I am trying to catch up.
The link for the title of this post tells a story that is just unconscionable.
I am rendered speechless, but I had to share.

I Think My Wife and I Have Hit a Weird Place ...
Earlier tonight, I was working on getting the smoker going (I am smoking a whole chicken), and my wife was channel surfing. She stopped on the opening of "The Sound of Music".
As I was heading out to the deck, I stopped to watch the beautiful scenery of that opening. (Amy and I loved living in Bavaria, where some of the film was shot.) Then, the camera zoomed in on Julie Andrews on top of a mountain, in the middle of this gorgeous shot, and she sang: "The hills are alive ..." ...
And, immediately, both of us, from different parts of the house, sang, in time, and in key: "and their eating children."
I think the term is synchronicity. No matter, it was kind of bizarre.
