Bottom line, go with Papa… He catches real fish!

Go Lions!

Friday, September 29th, 2006

Here we are 5 weeks into the high school football season, and I’m just now getting to go with the girls to a Luther football game (work commitments have kept me away until now).  Still, though, even when I’m able to go to a game, I don’t get to hang out with my girls much, […]

2x + y = z

Okay, so Kennedy doesn’t really do equations, but I
was surprised at dinner to learn that she knows how to
add numbers (using her fingers). Now, I’m an English
teacher and I’ve only ever worked with letters and
their sounds with K.
I guess it’s my own bias. I never really understood
math beyond long division, and once letters […]

Just testing a plug-in

I’m tinkering with a new video display plug-in, so this is just a test.
I’ll insert an old video here,

and we’ll see if it works.

You’ve Been Served

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

Some of you may remember that about two years ago, I was involved in an automobile accident. Oh, you had forgotten? Yeah, me too, until I was served a summons this evening. The passenger of the other car, who left-turned in front of me, is suing me, along with the driver of […]

She’s a Southern Kind of Gal

On the way to Luther the other day, Kennedy and I saw a “hiccup” truck piled high with junk. I don’t know how it all stayed on. I said, “Look at all that stuff in that truck. He sure has a truckload.” Kennedy looked and said, “Yes, he does; bless his […]

Let’s Get Ready To…

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

This year my high school’s football team has not been so good. We only have about 20 boys out and they’ve lost all four games they’ve played. However, everyone is still being super supportive and in that vein, some girls designed a homecoming t-shirt to sell. I bought one for me and […]

How to Fish

“Wait, wait… Lemme show you how to do that! First you gotta put it way, way back over your shoulder, like this… see? Then you push the button, and then you swing it as hard as you can!”

Here’s one to get us going

Sunday, September 17th, 2006

Kennedy has this cute little toy key ring that has a key, a remote (complete with lock-unlock and alarm sounds), and a miniature bottle of hand sanitizer. The other day as we were headed out the door to go to school, she grabbed the key ring and said, “I’ve gotta take this today… I […]

We’re back… well, kinda!

Sunday, September 17th, 2006

Okay, so I guess there was a server crash at our webhost, so they graciously moved our site to a new server. Nice of them, huh? Well, when they did that our site no longer worked. Some sort of database problem or something, I dunno. Long story short, we’ve basically had […]
