For a balding man, I spend a lot of time trimming hair

The weather is going to get better in the near future, but not today or tomorrow. Today cold. Tomorrow rain. After that it will be in the upper 50's and much better. Rain is scheduled for next Monday but that seems a long way away so who cares.

I held my departmental evaluations yesterday. It went well. Nobody cried.

I wasn't really hard on anyone so it wasn't too difficult. I won't have to worry about that again until next year.

Today I have a vendor coming in to do some wiring work and a department meeting later this morning.

Tonight I teach class in West Des Moines. Four classes left including tonight. That is pretty cool. The classes are going pretty quickly. Well, the Wednesday night seems to go quick. The Monday, not so much. Anyway four classes left.

I went online yesterday to see if there were any track meets in the area so I could check times. I ran across an article from the Iowa Sports Connection and it had the top ten times in the state in each event for girls. What do you know, the Goose is 5th in the STATE in the 400. The top two girls have full ride scholarships to Nebraska and she is less than a second off their times. How cool is that?

She is also 1st in 3A schools so if she can keep it up and work hard, she has a shot at a top three finish at state, if not the gold. It would be awesome if she could win state. She is also 2nd in 3A in the 800. She has a shot at a medal or better in that event too. How about that Goose?

There is still a lot of season left and anything can happen so I guess we will wait and see.

Drew has track and baseball practice tonight. I hope the weather holds up for him. I also need to get ahold of the baseball coach to see if they have a game schedule yet. I need to get that in my calendar. Speaking of which, you should see my calendar. I get tired just looking at it.

So we have finalized the trip to California for this year. Nancy, Joyce and I are headed out to sunny California again this year for training. The best part is we are getting a rental car. We should be able to eat in much more reasonable places as well as do site seeing again. I am looking forward to it. End of June.

Things are looking up. We are at the middle of the week. The weather is going to get better and I have no plans for the weekend. Peak day is treating me pretty good so far.
