Wait, where am I?

I spent the evening in the stands at Endicott College’s new stadium cheering the teams on. Football? Nah, you know me: the only thing I ever liked about seeing a football game was a marching band in the half-time. That’s what this was: an evening of band — or more precisely, an eight-team competitive show of drum-and-bugle corps. The roster was pretty impressive too, with some Division I corps such as “The Crossmen” of Allentown and “The Magic of Orlando”.
There’s more to come in a few weeks when the national championships are held nearby in August, at the Pats’ stadium in Foxborough.
At one point I was watching this group do its maneuvers on the field, with groups of musicians interleaving and all those Color Guard gals and guys waving colorful flags and ribbons and dressed in leotards, and I think I had a little flashback to the ’80s. For a second, I was watching a liturgical dance offertory procession. It was triggered by the music too: something from Broadway, I don’t know what.
But just as quickly the illusion passed, thank Heavens.

Less than 48 hours away

On Saturday at 3pm, my team will deliver our capstone project to an audience of frazzled MBA students, academics, and semi-luminaries of the DC-area business community. By 4pm, I’ll have complete all the requirements for my degree.
I hope to catch up on the blogging once I’m done writing stuff about Porter’s Five Forces (no Steve – “Cheese” is not one of Porter’s Five Forces…), Libyan foreign investment regulations and cash flow projections…
The other CL excuses are:
RC – upgraded us to MT 3. Lots of work.
Eric – expecting baby #4.
Pete – he did the last post, so he’s doing fine.
Bryan and Alex – probably trimming Chairman Meow so he maintains his lion cut for the summer…
