I was supposed to drive from Austin to Abilene today for a Christmas concert. I was really concerned, since conditions in northern Texas are pretty damned bad. I called a friend in Ft. Worth who said he had 1.5" of sleet and ice in his driveway. Hell, DFW is essentially closed. I wasn't looking forward to making the drive, especially in a car with no working defroster. But, cooler heads prevailed, and the concert was canceled. I think management finally realized that while they were warm and cozy in Abilene, 95% of their musicians come from DFW and Lubbock. So now I get to stay home and play PS3.

Cool. F horn and string bass here, though no longer professionally. Went to college to be a music teacher in fact!

Conditions here in Dallas proper aren't awful, but the suburbs and anything north of town is just blitzed right now, apparently.

Going for an ed degree? What made you change your mind? I've got three degrees in performance. Had planned to get a college teaching gig, got three interviews, didn't get a gig, started a family instead. Now my wife works, I freelance and stay home with the boys.

I lost faith I would find a job after school, and didnt feel like battling the citizens yearly to get my budget retained. Got my degree, never taught a day after that. Now I just work in automotive advertising...and I dont have to fight for my job!

Pft. It's not as bad as folks are saying. I'm an hour east of Abilene and folks are scared to drive...I got to work an hour early to hoon in the parking lot. And then I've been driving delivery trucks all day.
