More fog and I think a little warmer with a bit of humidity. Still better that what we would normally expect this time of year.
Jess had a volleyball tournament last night. They won the tournament and played well most of the matches. They didn't drop a game until the championship match. They should have swept the other team in two but we just played poorly and it went to a third game. We won that one, hands down.
Jess played well and if they keep setting her, we will do well. If they don't we will lose. It really is as simple as that. I wish you guys could see he play, it really is pretty cool. She is getting to be as head and shoulders above the girls on other teams as she is in track.
The Iowa State track coach came to the volleyball match last night. He sat up in the stands with me and we talked and watched the first few matches. It was nice of him to come and he re-emphasized that he really wants her to run at Iowa State. He is a very nice guy. It also looks like he is bringing in some good talent to move up in the Big 12 rankings. She takes her official visit the weekend of October 16th.
Drew is still having pain in his knee. He said it really bothered him yesterday. He has a game tonight so we will see how it holds up.
Work is still really busy but we keep moving forward.
It is the weekend of the Iowa/Iowa State football game. Everyone is wearing their team colors today and the big game is tomorrow. Drew is going up to take tickets and check bags at the game. They get free admission when they are done so he thought it would be a way to get to see some of the game. There are a bunch of kids and a teacher from Perry going up to work the game.
Looking forward to the weekend. Time is really going fast these days.
Off to start.

Life in the...actually, I am not sure what lane I am in
I think the weather is going to be good. Low 80's and partly cloudy.
Last night I earned my money teaching. It was a lot of material, and it was challenging for the students. One of the students stayed after and was frustrated that he wasn't picking it up like the rest of class. He said he had a learning disability and gets violent when he gets frustrated. (Whoa..slow down big fella)
I think I made him feel better and there wasn't any violence so all is well. I did stay until 10:00 though and by the time I got home it was a late night.
Tonight Jess has a volleyball tournament here in Perry. I am not sure what teams are going to be here but it should be fun.
The K-State track coach called last night and want Jess to come for a visit. I haven't talked to her much about it yet but we will probably go take a look.
We got word from Nebraska they want her to be part of the team but as a walk-on. Whatever, we have Big 10 and Big 12 schools offering scholarships and Nebraska wants her to walk on and pay out of state tuition. Whatever.
Drew plays Friday night here in Perry. I am part of the "Chain Gang" for the Freshman games so I will have one of the best seats in the house.
Trash day so the ladies will be out and about.
It is good to have my classes done for the week. I need to take a little 5 hour energy and get through the day without nodding off.
Ok, off to start.

If you can't trust the president to talk to our kids, maybe it is time for you to look for another country to live in.
Mid week already and we just started...Woo-hooo!
The weather has been cool but a little humid. Not too bad at all I guess for September.
The elementary school had a water main break yesterday and they let them go home at 10:30. They also canceled classes in that building for today as well. I think they had to do bacteria testing on the water to make sure it was safe after the repair and it takes 24 hours for the result. The high school and middle school students are jealous.
Jess had a volleyball match against Adel last night. They won in 5 games. This is the first time in a long time that we have beaten Adel and it was a very good match. Jess played absolutely awesome in the last two games. It was really fun to watch.
I teach class tonight. Tomorrow the girls have a volleyball tournament in Perry and Friday Drew has his first home football game.
His knee was bothering him last night so he stayed home from the volleyball match. He needs to take care of it a little better. Ice and ibuprofen are necessary but he doesn't do it like he should.
Work is busy like usual. It is good to have the short week.
School board elections were yesterday and the incumbents won. I guess it really doesn't matter.
Ok, off to start.
