What do you know...It's Monday and I don't want to kill myself!

There is no school today. A full teachers inservice day and the kids are very happy. I have a vendor coming in to do some work today and I am actually a bit excited to have this finished. It is a upgrade to our network hardware at the middle school and it will allow us to do a great deal more with security and wireless access. We are also getting new firewall and I am really looking forward to that.....the life of a geek!

The weather is going to be hit and miss today. Some rain and clouds, depending on where you live, but a possibility of sunshine as well. I think the high is supposed to be 57.

Jess has a volleyball game tonight. It is the first round of regionals. We win we move on, we lose, the season is over. It is as simple as that. The have a chance to win but it will all depend on the setter. She is senior and when they win, she sets middle where Jess and this other girl Trish play. When they lose, she sets her friends on the outside. We also will have to serve well. If they set middle and we serve well we have a real shot at winning. It not, we can start looking forward to basketball season.

We had our first co-ed volleyball game last night. We played a historically weak team and got beat once. We won 2 games to 1 but we should have swept them. I was a bit tenative going in because I am out of shape and haven't spiked a ball in a year. As we warmed up, I didn't practice spiking becuase I didn't feel in rhythm. In the game, the first set I had for a spike, I whiffed the ball competely!!! Once that was out of my system I got on track and did better but it was a bit embarassing to miss. Either my arms have shrunk or I can't jump as high as I think I can...lol

The huskers still stink but at least the Broncos won. My football season has not been a good one and it kind of puts a damper on the fall festivities. As things are going now, it probably wouldn't hurt anything if Callahan and Cosgrove were fired now. They are going to be lucky to win any more games and they just say the same thing each week...."We have to just keep trying to get better." Whatever!

Oh! I found out Friday that Barack Obama is going to be in Perry Saturday. He is going to be speaking at the high school. I am going to take the kids, even if they don't want to go, because it will be a good experience for them. Last election we had George W here and Al Gore. It is kind of cool to have presidential candidates come to Perry.
