The biggest premidona in town drives a garbage truck!

The snow is falling and has been falling most of the night. It isn't a huge amount but it is enough for us to have a school delay---2 hours for Perry Schools.

Drew has a game today so he doesn't want a cancellation. The high school girls have had an injury and a girl quit so they are all going to play JV and Varsity. They have 11 girls on the team and only one will not suite JV and that is the lone senior. There is a JV game here in Perry tonight so Jess will be in action. I think the varsity starters can only play a quarter or two.

It is kind of nice to have a snow day but a late start is ok as well. The snow day seems so peaceful at work. Only a small, small handful of people work on a snow day so it is quiet in the building and is seems very calm and quiet outside. I don't mind them from time to time as long as we don't get so many that we are going to school until mid June. That sucks!

We got some information on Jess' volleyball tournament in Omaha. It is at the Qwest center and last year they had 315 teams playing. They have college recruiters from over 150 colleges and they have a professional training staff for injuries like the colleges have. It should be a pretty cool experience. They are guaruanteed 7 games. Three on Saturday and Sunday and then the single ellimination tourney on Monday. Presidents day will be here before you know it.

Drew got a bunch of gift cards for Christmas and they money is jus burning a hole in his pocket. Everyday he tells me what he wants to buy. The problem is, each day the item changes. One day it is a PS3, the next it is Garage Band, the next it is a cool kind of shoe. Talk about impulse buying. I need to keep him out of Des Moines until he had thought it through.

Jess has been frustrated that girl's sports aren't seen as important as boy's sports. She gets sooooooo mad that there are a handful of fans that come to the girls games but the stands fill up when the boys play. I think it is hard for her that she works as hard as any boy and does as well, confernce and state wise as any boy, yet the fans seem indifferent to girls sports.

For the most part it is true but people do know about the girls and follow the team, they just don't show up at the events as much to show that support. She doesn't quite get that most people are fair weather fans. If the team stuggles, people stay home. If the team is really good, regardless of boys or girls, the fans show up and wear the shirts and act like they have been long time supporters. Bandwagoners! I told her to checkout pro football fans. Look at how many people wear football jerseys at school and how many wear the jersey of a bad team. Very few if any. If a team is winning, it seems like EVERYBODY is a fan and they have all been LONG TIME FANS. Whatever!

It is Thursday already and I have to get the stupid trash out for the candy ass garbage men. Not even sure if I should call them men. Filthy bastards! I sure hope the garbage trucks are automatic. I would hate to have them strain their backs shifting gears or pushing in on the clutch. Give me a break!!

More tomorrow.
