I've been mowing grass most of the day, trying to get weedeaters going and taking naps on my favorite bed. The bed at my job up north is not anywhere as firm as ours, but I've been exhausted enough that it doesn't matter.

We're having triple digit heat days now. Still no rain. I'd like to figure a way to go to cal. for this wedding but... I have been watering a couple of abandoned homes up on tech hill and am amazed what a little water can do. I need to go prune roses this morning and get out the chainsaw to take down some big trees. Free firewood isn't so free ( Read more... )

So schools out and I got to substitute twenty days before the end. We're planning a visit to a wedding and the church camp. The air conditioner is straining. We bought internet and it took rerouting the wires through the kids room to make it work. Hope the summer is good for all.

It's Friday evening and my wife, daughter, and I are at the public library. I received my results of the last test I needed to become certified as a secondary math teacher and I passed. I sent off the packet, to the state, with the money order, and now am waiting. My friend Dave T was on the front page of two of the three newspapers we get here ( Read more... )

It's been a long time since I posted. I worked full time/
temporary as a maint. man for the local charter school. Now I'm filling in for the crossing guard and have a gig as a prop. manager for a friend. I'm getting ready to take the teacher assessment test and still have lots to study. More later.

I ended up with another sweet cat but the "sweet cat" that we have isn't very nice.  I had to break up a fight and ended up getting clawed though the vein on my right hand.  It didn't hurt much but was very frustrating because it kept bleeding all day.  My Dr. friend convinced me to get antibiotics so now I'm taking them.

I'm about to be a grandpa to twins and glad to be over the flu crud.  My kid is having spring break and keeping me alive.  One of my friends gave me the leftovers from his mothers estate so I'm excited to have a brand new(to me) full down pillow for my decrepid neck.  I'm still wiped out and hope to hop in the shower now. 

I took my dauagter and her friend to Alb to go see Kopeland's lesser known piano works (kinda dark) and some newer artist's work.  The violinist  was wearing a  flimsy dress  that  needed double stick tap to keep  it  to her  90 pound  body.  She  played great.  The girls wanted to stay at boarders and shop, so I ended up not using the other ticket

While my girl was at girl scouts planning a campout and getting fund raising nuts, I went to the library and then voted at the courthouse.  2076 voters so far there.  I wasn't needed as a boy scout leader tonight so here I am listening to the Hobbit on tape unabridged.  I was given another copy of my photo in the local paper where I won the sand ( Read more... )

My brother came to town this weekend and we got to spend a little time together.  I told him about the news in our family(bcws married, smws in river city, etc) then today went to Dick's to gather firewood with Paul and family.  We might go to the Grand Canyon and are hoping to go to Wyoming in June.  We went to an explosives display last night ( Read more... )
