One thing that has been driving me crazy about Dancer is the way, or rather lack of studying she does for her school work. Despite this she comes up with a mix of A’s and B’s. Not bad, but if she put that little extra effort in she could pull straight A’s.  Also what does not help is the grading scale for Fairfax County. A’s begin at the 94% ( Read more... )

Yesterday was an interesting and fun day. I took the day off to take Dancer downtown to peruse some of the art museums on the mall, as she had off from school for a teacher work day.  A friend of hers, who stayed the night, came along with us.

Walking down the National Mall I was surprised to hear her friend ask what the building with the dome was ( Read more... )

Dancer had her annual physical Monday of this week and had the first of three shots for HPV. Fortunately it is the end of the semester for her, as she has only been to school one day this week due to the flu llike reaction it has had upon her.

There is nothing like having good management behind you. Bad or poor managers can really make work life, to put it kindly, UNplesent. It may be time to look for a new job...

For those wanting a drinking game for the last and final debate, go to this site, print out one of the BINGO cards and play along. Hopefully you won’t fall out of your chair too drunk before the first half hour of the debate.

In an interesting note, Dancer has ( Read more... )

Beautiful moon and morning, though I’m not sure I like leaving the house when it’s still dark out. And all too soon it will be dark when I leave work in the evening. But it was nice to not walk out to a car drenched in dew and for it to feel like summer again.

Ahhh, now if I were only at Seneca…

The thoughts that run through my head while pealing ginger…

Christmas stuff in stores already! NOOOOOOO!!!!!

Well, it looks like I may have something called Persistent Cough Syndrome, which was explained as the tissue in the upper respiratory tract being irritated. Not quite like bronchitis, but close to it. So I'm now on a steroid inhaler to quite it down. She told me that if this works, I should be able ( Read more... )

OK, so it has only taken a week to get me almost a week to get from other people to start testing that I am suppose to have done by tomorrow. I don’t think it’s going to happen…
