At the Halloween party last night I found out that Dan (left) is not going to be able to go to Australia with the Sacramento City College choir because Donna (right) will be giving birth to their second child. Their good friend Kathleen, another piano teacher at Sac City, would be next in line for the Australia tour, but it conflicts with her true passion— professional football. She plays for the Sacramento Sirens. They won the national championship last year, and she scored the only touchdown in the title game.
I volunteered to do the tour, and Kathleen said she would mention my name to the choir director. So it's far from a sure thing, but Jennifer and I may be going to Australia next July. Then we could also realize Jennifer's dream of going to New Zealand.
