So yes, I am Brian. I am up in Maryville, Washington. As requested, I'll give a Yakima Symphony report. I had a concert this past weekend here, I guess last night. Got home about 1230, 1240 AM. Not too bad. Just a little bit of rain on the drive home. But yeah, I had a lovely concert. I had some Strauss and some Smetana and some Duke Ellington, this It's a piece called The River. And sometimes I'm not a fan of some of the more modern things, but oh my gosh, that piece was fantastic. It was like eight movements. It was just so much fun to play and to listen to and stuff. I was very pleasantly surprised. And I had listened to it a little bit before I went as I was practicing and learning the music and stuff. And I found myself just like tapping my feet to it, not to just like count the beat or something like that but just because I was digging it it was it was in the groove. So a lot of fun it was pretty full house concert too. I feel like since Covid we've been kind of fighting to get the the butts back in the seats but I feel like it's it's starting to get back up to full capacity again which is awesome for the group there. So we've got one more concert of 2026 we'll do our holiday pops concert beginning of December and then then it will be January we'll do another concert there and keep going there so um that's pretty much all I got there um I see my my wife Jennifer her brother flew into town from Mesa Arizona and so he'll be staying with us for just a couple of days here so just kind of hung out laid low and uh did watch a movie this afternoon um what was it called the oh my gosh the holdover the holdover Yeah, it's kind of a Christmassy movie. I think it was released about a couple years ago. It's actually a very good movie. I enjoy it quite a bit there. So let me reset. Apologies for the constant resets. I've got my own two-minute timer here to make sure I don't go over. So anyway, that's pretty much all I've got here. Regular work week here, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, although we'll see lots of meetings are already canceled for Wednesday and stuff. but that hopefully it's kind of a light week and then I am on call for work Friday and Saturday. So I do get the Thursday Thanksgiving off. We will be heading up to Bellingham. Was it the Bellwether Hotel? They're doing a Thanksgiving buffet. So me, the wife, two kids will be heading up there. We don't do any of the cooking ourselves and especially since the wife is a pescatarian. Turkey is not really on the agenda for her so the buffet option is a good compromise there. So for those who don't know Bellwether if you ever watch King 5 News when they show the little view for Bellingham they're like oh the weather in Bellingham that view is a camera placed on top of the Bellwether Hotel so that's where I will be. So happy Thanksgiving to all out there and I guess I'll send it back to myself, KE7KZH.
