I think I might prefer the virtual world

Yesterday I had to go to Rockwell Collins for a virtual reality demonstration. They are donating a virtual reality projector, computer and screen to the school and I went with a small group of people to check out the technology in their environment. It was pretty cool to see the virtual reality, 3D environment. We had to wear some high tech 3D glasses but it really seemed like we were really in the virtual room.

We had to leave at 6am yesterday morning, thus the blog did not get posted. It was an early start to the day since I also had to teach class last night and didn't get home until around 9:45. Anyway, it was pretty cool and it will be interesting to see if our staff gets jazzed enough about it to actually develop curriculum to integrate it.

Drew had a basketball game last night. They lost 50 something to 14. UGLY! Drew did score one point.

Jess has her first basketball game tonight. I am not sure where it is but it isn't in Perry. I teach so I pay less attention to where she plays when I have no chance of attending.

The weekend went quickly. The huskers won, which was good. Jess had a basketball round robin scrimmage all day Saturday. The kids and Dawn wen to the school play and that was about it.

We did go to Ankeny Sunday to turn in Jessica's volleyball contract but that was relatively uneventful. I did buy a new kitchen trash can..Whoo Hoo!

I can't believe we are a little over a week away from Thanksgiving. I need to call mom this weekend and decide what we are going to do. Jess is having oral surgery over the break so I am not sure I am going to make it to the traditional Thanksgiving decoration day at the restaurant. I really haven't even thought much about it and it is just a week away.

Christmas is fast approaching as well. It won't be long until the shopping season will be full swing. I also have to start thinking of songs for the Christmas CD.

Ok, off to start.
