Going shopping for clothes this weekend with my mom and brother wasn't as bad as I might have feared. I still need things like shirts, certainly, but I found two pairs of pants and a new pair of dress shoes. My brother's trip in to take a TV off my dad's hands seems to have been pretty successful as well. We even bought Mom a new receiver/amplifier for the ancient stereo, but I may be making another trip north to help her hook it up.

First rehearsal back in Columbia tonight in about 2 weeks. We'll see if the practicing I did over the break made any difference, or if I have a new seat assignment.
