I don’t know how I missed this the first time. I had to pick up some notebooks at Target today and they have an insane contraption to bring shopping carts up and down the escalator. This might be old technology but I’ve never seen this before. I guess I don’t go to malls that often but this is sweet.
I also went across the way and got a new camera at Best Buy. I’m pretty happy with the camera (this is a cellphone shot the new shots will be revealed next week) but Best Buy has an insane return policy. At least for cameras they do. I asked what the return policy was and they said 14 days but there will be a 15% restocking fee. So I said, then you don’t really have a return policy. And then the saleswoman and I stared at each other for 10 very, very awkward seconds. And I still ended up buying it. But is that normal – a 15% restocking fee? Sounds ridiculous to me. Maybe they could charge one after 14 days but from the start is kind of bullshit. Fortunately I was still riding high from discovering the shopping cart contraption that I still departed the complex happy.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
