Jon, The Pianist

Today I have one last photo I want to post from our Thanksgiving get-together in Teague last week. I know conventional wisdom would suggest that I could have, maybe even should have, cropped away some of the negative space from the top of the photo. I like it as it is though because it gives me the feeling that music is filling void.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll have some weather related photos as Houston is scheduled to get it's earliest ever snowfall today. We'll see...even though we've had a couple days of snow in the last five years, a snow day in Houston is still a pretty rare event.

Waiting Their Turn

Taken Thanksgiving Day. Because a lot of our family members are blessed with talent (present company excluded) our Thanksgiving Day celebration traditionally includes a talent show. Here two aspiring musicians await their respective turns.
