When Marching Bands Go Bad

Well--my internet famous son is back with the second of four monthly articles for Mental Floss magazine. I hope he is having as much fun writing these as I am having reading them!

Internet Famous!

Well, Steven has always aspired to being internet famous and now he is having his minutes of fame! He wasn't awarded the Mental Floss internship, but they have asked him to do some freelance work on their blog--and his area of expertise is band! So check out his article on psuedo-trombones. And keep him in your prayers as he enters the dangerous world of the Swamp down in Florida--and unless things have changed since my AU Band days the danger comes not from the football team but from the extremely rude, crude and obnoxious fans (in four years of college football, Florida was the worst experience I had with our opponents fans! Have I mentioned how much I like Florida to lose -- simply becuase their fans were so awful!)

Why bother with real life?

One of my favorite magazines is Mental Floss. So when they announced they were looking for interns to research and write for them, I sent the article to Steven and sure enough he decided to apply. Now I don't know if he will get the internship or not, but I am surely proud of his work. So check out one of his submitted articles. This particular article is about Fantasy Leagues.
