Isn't every Friday good?

Easter is Sunday and I have no plans. The kids haven't really said anything about it but I probably need to see about Easter baskets and maybe see if they want to color eggs. Yes, they are a little old to be coloring eggs but I like deviled eggs and it is kind of the Easter tradition in our house to use colored eggs.

Jess had a hard track practice yesterday. Girls were puking. Most of the kids that are stuggling with the hard workouts are the ones that didn't play a winter sport. They are just in poor condition and struggle. Jess is fine. She said she was tired but it wasn't that bad.

Drew will have his first baseball practice of the year on Monday. I hope the weather holds up so they can have it outside. The weather has been pretty good the last couple of days and the snow is almost completely gone. I need the sun to shine and a little breeze to blow so it can dry things up.

The Drake bulldogs take the court today in the NCCAA tournament. I am not sure if you have heard about them but Drake is a college in Des Moines and they have only lost 4 games all year and have been a very good team this year. They are a 5 seed and I am hoping they win. The team is a very good story. They were picked to finish last in their conferent this year and they kind of shocked the world. They are fun to watch. If you get the chance, they play at 11:30 central time.

On a side note, Drew has gone to the Drake basketball camp the last two summers and the players are the coaches for the camps so he has met all of these players and has their autographs. Kind of a cool thing for him to watch them play.

I have been so disgusted with the city lately that I am thinking about running for Mayor. I am not sure if I would win but I think a bunch of people know me. The current Mayor is not popular so I think I would have a shot. Nancy doesn't want me to run, she thinks I already have too busy of a schedule and doesn't think I would like people egging my house. (Do people really do that?) I have a year or two to think about it.

I think this is the first Friday in recent memory that I am kind of sad it is Friday. Spring break is coming to an end and it really sucks. Nancy and I have gotten a lot of work done, it has been quiet and very enjoyable. I am going to really be looking forward to summer.

Life goes on. Have a great weekend.
