Highlights

Highlights of the day:
1. Knowing it was the end of the teaching week for me and that it will be a three-day weekend.
2. Knowing I would be able to go back to my bed later in the day.
3. My students being good.
4. The day going quickly.
5. Tying my basketball players together in order to teach them a zone defense.
6. Red Robin burger and fries.
7. The Office


I don't have much to say, obviously. You fans of the short post will now be happy. Give me a high five later!

School

I sit writing this from my first hour PE class. They are so good when
they are playing badminton. Sometimes I even get pretty bored.

I seem to not have gotten around to writing lately. Part of this is
due to the season premiere of 24. It was two hours both Sunday and
Monday. Then last night I was at a friend's for dinner and games. Time
seems to escape me. I am meaning to write my annual New Year's letter
but have not even gotten to that yet.

Someone mentioned the other day that my posts are sometimes "too
long." I basically told that person to take a hike. Just kidding.
Seriously people, you do have the choice whether you follow this blog
or not. Length is totally up to the blog writter. I was just going to
post the word "whatever" to help said person get through the blog
easier but then I decided not to. I also contmplated writing the
longest post ever but that would take too much energy today. And
really I do not have all that much to say. Please do not take any of
this seriously Sharri. I love that you read my blog and I am also glad
to have you in my life!

I hope everybody's Wednesday is full of surprises unless you don't
like surprises then I hope it is full of predictability. Until next time.

What is that Sound?

This morning I was woken by this weird sound.  I kept thinking that it was somebody shoveling but I knew that it wasn't supposed to have snowed last night.  Turns out it was this hot air balloon.  It was so close to my house and I thought that they might be having problem because it looked as if they were going to crash.  They managed to get the balloon back into the air and I didn't hear any sirens so I assume they are okay.  It was a pretty cool thing to see, though.

My basketball team did so well last night.  I was so proud of them.  They did not win, but they were a totally different team.  They finally started listening to me and it paid off.  

I am having a lazy saturday morning.  I really have no drive to do anything.  I should have exercised but I have not gotten around to it.  I probably will just go into work and catch up on some grading.  It is truly a thrill a minute.

Skiing and Happy Snow Moments.

I am trying to have a good attitude about winter. Today, I got a gift that I think will keep my attitude up. Last night, I was talking with one of my co-workers and telling him my sob story about losing my cross-country ski boots. Well, he asked me what my size was and when I answered he said he thought the extra pair he had at home would be the right size. The funny part of the story is that he had been trying to get rid of these boots at a yard sale for the past twenty years. Funny. It was like they were supposed to be for me.

I enjoyed cutting a new ski trail in the back of school today. It was a blast. I went for an hour and wanted to go for even longer but got cold and tired.

Pretty much that is the highlight of the day. I do have to say that I have been loving lunch this week because the people I work with are hilarious and awesome.

Night.
