This weekend.... and the Superbowl!

This was a nice weekend... We didn't get to participate in the 3rd and 4th grade basketball game Saturday since it was cancelled due to the weather, but we did get to take the kids to the Clay Center to watch 'The Snowman' which was a cartoon movie. It had no sound, but the WV Symphony did the music. It was pretty cool. Olivia reminded me that I had TWO LAPS while holding Jonathan... so she ended up there for most of the show as well. :)

As for the Superbowl.... Who said 'Packers' don't make it to the Superbowl???? Prince was there doing the halftime show, wasn't he? :)

Dang, it's freakin' cold! Zero degrees this morning....

Almost Famous!

Our daughter, Olivia got her picture in this week's local paper! This is the picture that was on the FRONT PAGE! That's her on the left with her best neighbor friend, Grayson across from her, and his big brother, Ben in the middle. Ben helped 'a little' with the construction of the snowman. I'm a proud papa!

Copy and paste for the picture!

Gettin' Started


Here's post number 1! Leading off with one of my favorite current pictures! It's my wife and I on our New Year's Eve getaway. :)

Not much to say. However, I did smoke out the classroom today in Chem II during a demonstration of how oxidizers work in chemical reactions... As a matter of fact, the entire school got to take a little break outside when the smoke alarm went off. :)

Note to self... Always turn hood fan on BEFORE lighting off the reaction... even if you want it to be dark for maximum visibility of the extremely exothermic reaction. :) (light comes on with the fan)

Oh well, there was a fire drill scheduled for tomorrow... No need for it now. :)

Time to get some work done.........
