Toby and Pumpkin are very integrated into my morning routine, and I know it is dumb, but I don’t like being away from them. I speak this morning on I-9 and immigration compliance, and this afternoon I do farmworker transportation.

Friday night, my son and I will be traveling to beautiful Stockton for his audition at the Dave Brubeck school of jazz at UOP, where Brubeck is an esteemed alum.

I am still pulling for UNT for a lot of different reasons. It is the beat jazz program, and a dream for him. Also, I kind of want my kids to leave California. Opportunity is limited here - it is very expensive for a young person. I have always loved it here, but in recent years it has worn me down.

I drove here yesterday in the GTI faster than I should have. But it was so much fun.

Lots of folks coming to TX these days. Austin is building like crazy, and traffic has gotten exponentially worse in the last 5 years. But jobs are plentiful, housing is still relatively cheap, and I guess wages are okay, though I’m not in that line of work. I know nothing about the Dave Brubeck School, but it certainly has name recognition. However, UNT is a big state school, and I have always advocated for freshmen going to a big state school. Great experience, lots of different people, lots of playing opportunities, both in and out of school. Brubeck might be better for grad school, if they have such a program.
