Inconsiderate Laundry Offender

This woman sucks! When you see other members of the human race (me) struggling to survive(get their clothes dry) you should not stand by(be lazy and inconsiderate) and let them perish(stay up half the night). If you see this lady at the laundry, punch her in the throat.

Inconsiderate Launderers

These idiots are using the dryers to store their clothes until they get around to folding them. Every dryer in the place is running! These people totally suck and if you see them, you should punch them in the throat!

My daughter kicks butt with a bow!

Lexie's archery teacher sent a link to his photo album of pictures from the tournament she was just in. She scored a total of 179 points out of 300. She was fifth in scores among kids at her middle school. She did really well, but had a few bad shots. If she brought those few up, she could be doing super!

Here is a link to her archery teacher's pictures: 2010 Bullitt East Archery Tournament

I hope you enjoy them!!

Mace/Pepper Spray

I was mentioning to a co-worker how I believe my daughter might be
able to take down an assailant at 30 meters or so with her bow... She
said to me "I carry pepper spray." That reminded me of the time that
I was helping my brother Mike deliver newspapers. He also had some
MACE brand spray--like postmen used to carry to repel dogs. I was
playing with it, and got just a little bit on my hand...but I did not
know..until....I rubbed my eye....

I was unable to see for about an hour because I was crying so much. I
can attest that it is actually very painful, and really would be quite
capable of incapacitating someone. Apparently it is also very amusing
to watch this, as he was also incapacitated for about the same amount
of time rolling around on the ground laughing at me.

Primary life lesson: Never fool around with dangerous things if you
have not seen first-hand what they can do.

More subtle lesson: Older brothers love you and may watch out for
you, but--once knowing you will be ok--will not hesitate to laugh
mercilessly at your stupidity and any pain which it brings you.

New Use for the Annoy-A-Tron

The fellows at Think Geek dot com are genius for coming up with the Annoy-a-tron. It's a little circuit board with two switches. The first is on-off. The second is a selector. It has a magnet on the back to stick to anything metal. Every 5-8 minutes (specific time is random!) the Annoy-a-tron will send out a little BEEP or BUZZ. The BUZZ I never use, but the third setting is randomly BEEP or BUZZ. If you ever heard the thing, you would know why it's called Annoy-a-tron. For a week now, I had the selector on BEEP. Location: Lexie's room! Now at first you might think this is a mean prank to pull on my wonderful daughter, but...if you would see what a total pit her room is, you would know. I am using the Annoy-a-tron as motivation. I asked her after about a week of the beeping "What is that beeping noise in your room???"

Lexie replied "I don't know, but it's driving me crazy!!!!"

"Well, you had better clean out your room so that you can figure out what's making it..." I said to her.

"You're right." and she spent 3 hours working on her room yesterday before Logan's Birthday party. It still needs a lot of work, so I changed from BEEP to BEEP/BUZZ this morning. That ought to do it...

Logan's Birthday Party

Logan had a good time with his friends and sister yesterday. He received nice presents and played several games. After "build your lego" race, they played the Unwrap Game. This is a a game played in a circle. There was a gift wrapped in many layers of paper. The first person puts on a pair of gloves and is handed the present to unwrap. The next person is handed a pair of dice. When the host says "go", the first person begins unwrapping the gift until the second person rolls doubles. At that time, the host shouts "stop" and the present and dice switch to the next people in line around the circle. Each layer of wrapping paper must be taken off before another may be removed. The person to remove the final layer of paper is the winner, and the prize is the gift that was unwrapped! After that the kids did some free play in Logan's room and then cake and ice cream. The final game was the Cookie game. Each kid starts with an oreo cookie on their forehead, which they have to work down their faces and into their mouths. That was silly but fun! Even though there were only four other friends, I believe Logan had a GREAT time! Kathy earns big kudos for all her help, ideas and planning.

Kids talked us in to Tommys

The Late Christopher Bean

It was amazing for me to see Mr. Weatherston again after over twenty years. He looks exactly the same. I am positive he didnt remember my name, no blaming him for that after so many students. I do think that he remembered my face. I was able to give him a hug, this teacher who I admired, respected, and was very fond of--and that meant the world to me. He was the best instructor I ever had. The show will start soon, and this could be the last time I ever see Mr. Tom Weatherston as we were never really personal friends. This was a really big deal for me.
