Here are some pictures from a recent JV tennis match. K and his partner fought the other team down to the wire, but lost the tiebreaker after each team won a set.

| M leads the seniors at the marching demonstration. He is this year's Drum Major. |
The boys got back from Interlochen a few days ago. Here are a couple pictures. M is the incoming Drum Major, and K is playing in the Symphony Orchestra this year. They've both done some pretty outstanding work!

| K and some of his fellow musicians |
 |
| M walking onto stage for the band concert. It was not going to be made public until that evening, but the boy behind M was voted by his bandmates as the 2018-2019 school year's Drum Major. |

| From left to right: 3 former Drum Majors, M (the incoming Drum Major), and 11 DMCs (Drum Major Candidates) are introduced to attendees of the marching demonstration. |

| Somewhere over the lighthouse, bluebirds sing. |
 |
| Frankfort's famous Sunset Drive-In. |
 |
| This boat appeared to be constructed of all metal. |
 |
| The storm is rolling in... |
 |
| The storm is REALLY rolling in. Note the lighthouse in the bottom left corner of the picture. |
 |
| Meanwhile, in better weather at the mini-golf course, M and K hit the links with long-time family friends H and R. We've been vacationing with their family most of the last 10 years. |
 |
| The sky glows at sunset near the pier. |
 |
| Our best, and orange-est sunset. |

Fourth of July Parade

Ann Arbor's Fourth of July Parade

Ann Arbor's Fourth of July Parade
 |
| I don't remember the LGBT community kicking off the parade when I was younger - things are changing... |
 |
| Bagpipes! |
 |
| US Representative Debbie Dingell wears heels when she walks in the parade. She doesn't mess around. |
 |
| These two guys played some sax music for the crowd. We were not sure whether they were actually supposed to be part of the parade... |
 |
| It's not Chinese New Year, but I can't think of a reason to not have a dragon. |
 |
| This is the Backyard Brains group (motto: "Neuroscience for Everyone"). It is at least for everyone who has a crazy hat. |
 |
| The little girls in the matching dresses are cheering because this is the only high school music group in the parade - the Huron High School Drum Line. |
 |
| The Synchronized Lawn Mower Team |
 |
| A few of the members of the Pioneer High School robotics team show off one of their creations. |

This year's Washtenaw Elementary Science Olympiad (WESO) is in the books. We had over 2,200 students this year, up from last year. They represented 41 Washtenaw County schools.
Here are some photo slideshows and articles:

Visiting Ones Childhood Home
We had a rare family reunion on Thursday in Jackson. Usually, one of us kids is home, or maybe we have our families with us. But to have the Original Bruey Five together in one place? Priceless!

On the topic of photography, what happens when you x-ray cameras? This guy found out.
Tired of carving figures and shapes into small pieces of wood? Try a whole tree.

Goings On Going On

Welcome to Spring!
I think the warm(er) weather is finally here to stay. It was in the 70s for a few days, and even though it will go back down to the 60s for a while, it's probably safe to put the snow shovels away now.
There are about 5 weeks left until Science Olympiad, which is June 3 this year. We're working hard on so many aspects of the big day, including meeting with our "key" volunteers, making signs and posters, helping organize workshops for students, and taking care of all the little things that make a big event.

I like this little knife. It's small enough that it would stay out of your way.
Why learn to play the piano when you can just buy one of these? And yes, it handles the pedals, too.
Early Christmas list (it's never too early): a 14-150 mm camera lens. But don't buy me this lens; it's not made for my camera, it's too heavy to lift, and I'd rather you gave me the money so I could pay off my mortgage. It's 28" long, so you'd need a little wheeled cart to take it with you.
