Weather is less than desirable. We had golf ball sized hail last night. I was sleeping and all of the sudden the hail started to fall and it was very loud. It only lasted 5 minutes or so. I am not sure if there is damage anywhere but the yard has a bunch of branches and debris laying around.
Class went well last night. I got done around nine so I was able to come home and watch the end of the basketball game between Duke and Butler. It was a good game.
Jess is supposed to have a track meet today at PCM but it will depend on the weather. I am half hoping we don't have it. This meet is very long and it is over an hour away. I think there are 32 teams and it takes forever.
Drew got hit with a golf ball yesterday on the course. He was on the last hole with his foursome and he was standing on one side of the fairway a bit ahead of two of the players. One of them hit their ball and it sliced hard and low. They yelled at him and he turned. The ball hit him in the shin. It is a big ol' knot. I guess he earned a life lesson on that one.
Work is going well.
Off to start.

Well, blow me down
It looks like we are going to get some rain today. The weather has been pretty good this week but the wind has been terrible. I guess it is typical April weather.
We had a home track meet last night. It was windy but the temp was in the low 70's so that was good. Jess jumped 16 feet 9 inches in the long jump which is a new meet record and her personal best. She ran 59.3 in the 400 which was another meet record. She had a bad start in the 200 but won anyway. She also anchored the sprint medley relay and came from behind to get the win. She was about 70 meters behind when she got the battan.
4 golds, 2 meet records and a good workout on a very windy day.
Drew is steadily improving his golf game. He shot 62 the other day and is getting a better feel of how to play. I think there are 12 freshman out and he is the third best player so that is good.
My plans for the weekend is to get all the junk that we no longer need, out of the house and into the dumpster. I also want to take all my cardboard to the recycle bin and my dead electronics to the school for pickup.
Sunday I plan on napping!
Ok, off to start.

This could have been a tweet
Weather has been good. I hope it continues.
Class went well last night. I got home about 9:45 and was in bed by 10 so that was nice.
I had a huge migraine yesterday and ended up having to go home for awhile to sleep it off. I am so glad it is gone. When I get a migraine it really knocks me down. I can't think or focus. All I do is hold my head in my hands. It sucks!
Nancy's birthday was yesterday. I was going to take her out to lunch but since I felt like crap, we will go today.
I really have nothing else today.

Relatively Zombie-like
School is back in session today. I really am indifferent about it.
The weekend was pretty good. I took Drew out to eat. It was nice to spend some time with him and just talk. I had a really good time.
I am not sure what the deal is but I have just been tired lately. It seems like I just can't get enough sleep. I took a nap both Saturday and Sunday and am still tired this morning. I need to snap out of it.
The dogs haven't have much of a chance to run around outside this winter so this weekend I took them over to the baseball/softball complex and let them run. It is a huge area that is fenced in. There is a driving range and a soccer field so I can take them off their leash and just let them run free.
They ran and ran. Molly ran so much that she got sore that night. She was limping around the house but was fine the next morning. She over did it.
Emma didn't need much time to recover from her surgery. She runs around like nothing happened. She was a little tired the night after but she runs around like crazy. She has a few staples in her belly and I will have to take her in next wek to get them taken out.
I teach class tonight so it is a long day ahead.

What would the tax be on a pack of Maui Wowi?
It is a good Thursday. The weather is going to be good and class went well last night.
I took Emma in to get spade and to get her rabies shot. The surgery went well and I can pick her up this morning. I missed that little dog last night and this morning. Molly has been looking around the house for her.
Class was good last night. It is pretty much make or break time right now. The students that have attended and worked hard are in great shape, the ones who have missed a bunch of classes are pretty much doomed.
So I watched this show called, "The world without oil". It basically showed what would happen if all the oil in the world was gone. Long story short...we would be screwed! Gasoline is the least of the worries. It was a pretty good show.
I read online last night that California is going to vote in November to legalize marijuana for recreational use. Depending on the vote, I might have to start looking for little place in the great state of California.
Not much on the agenda for today and I like it that way. I want to enjoy the next two days of spring break. It has been very quiet around the office this week.
Ok, off to start.

My cold if fading but........
More good weather today. Weather is always has an impact on ones mood so the sun is a positive thing.
Drew had his first golf practice yesterday. They went to the driving range. He learned how to properly hold the club and was able to practice a smooth swing.
Jess has a track meet today at the University of Northern Iowa. This is maybe the most interesting meet of the year because it is the only time that the top runners from all classes will run against each other. In Jess' heat of the 400 there are 4 state champions that won the 400 in their classes last year.
In the 200 there are 2 state champs, her and a girl who set the state record last year.
There are a ton of teams and the meet takes forever. It starts at 11 this morning but she doesn't run until close to 5. I am going to head out around 11:30 or 12:00. Drew and Micky are riding up with me.
Class went well last night. I had the do computer based training the whole night. I had one student work until 9:30 to get caught up.
Emma is sitting on my shoulder, growling at nothing in particular.

I like tea but am no fan of the tea party
Weather is good right now. We had snow over the weekend and that kind of sucked but it was really nice yesterday and going to be sunny and in the 50's today.
The health care bill passed last night. The US is on the path to universal health care. It is a big step in our nation's history. Maybe not the best bill but it is the framework that will allow us to get health care to all Americans.
It is Spring break here. The kids have practices this week but it should be pretty quiet. Jess has a track meet at UNI tomorrow.
Emma goes in to get spade and get her rabies shot on Wednesday. It always make me nervous to take the dogs in after the tragedy with Shelby.
I teach tonight and Wednesday night. DMACC was on Spring break last week but this week they are back in session. Kind of puts a damper on our Spring break but not that big of a deal.
Not much else.
