Weather still nice. Chilly in the morning. I think we are going to get a little rain Sunday night.
Nothing on the agenda today. It is trash day...Bastards!
VP debate tonight. I wonder if Palin will be able to BS her way through it. She was a terrible pick.
We had a cricket in the office yesterday. The little stinker was just chirping like crazy and we couldn't find it. Turns out he was in the light fixture. I had to get up on the desk and open the ceiling like panel and remove it.
That might have been the most exciting thing to happen yesterday.
Not much else.

Aren't these the same folks that would garnish my wages if I couldn't pay?
Another chilly morning. I really like the weather we are having right now. It isn't cold and it isn't hot it is just right....as goldilocks would say.
Class went well last night. We prepped for the test next week and it took awhile for them to complete the practice lessons. I was there until about 9:45 so it was later than normal but not too bad. The drive back was nice. The sky was clear and the stars were very bright.
Drew's team won their game last night and Jess' team lost theirs. I think they both played well but I haven't really had much of a chance to talk to them since I got home late.
I have a couple meetings today and then nothing on my calendar for the rest of the week..knock on wood. I hope it stays that way.
By the way, I think the whole political system is corrupt! What a bunch of crap!
As a tax payer I want collateral for our bailout! I want to own the Fanny May building and the land, buildings and assets of every company we are going to bail out. I also want the CEO's of these companies need to pony up everything they own! Houses, I am sure there are countless, land, stock, everything they have should be tax payer owned. I sure the heck can't get a loan unless I put something up, why should they be different?
Ok, enough of that but I get so frustrated with the Washington bias. This is no different than George W. protecting the oil companies and his interests. Enough!
Not much else on the agenda for the rest of the week. We don't have any games until the weekend. Jess has a volleyball tournament in Des Moines Saturday morning, softball in Ames Sunday. Then the cycle starts over again.
The huskers are probably going to take a butt kicking Saturday night but I will watch and suffer for the cause.
Off to start the day.

It might as well be Monday
As I walked home from class last night, it was chilly. This morning there is still a nip in the air. It is perfect sleeping weather but I may have to have a jacket soon.
Class went well last night but there was a bit of a snag. I let the class out at around 9:25, thinking I would be home early. One of the students asked if they could stay until 10 to work on homework. Well, I had to say yes since the class is scheduled until 10 anyway. So there I sat, waiting for him to do his work. It was a little after 10 by the time I got out.
I have a meeting at 9:30 this morning and the rest of the afternoon is free. I teach class in Des Moines tonight but it should go pretty good. We are reviewing for a test so that should take most of the time.
Both kids have games tonight. Drew plays in Adel and Jess has a home match against Carroll.
Working my way through the week.

Something has to change
We had strong thunderstorms last night but today everything seems to be fine. Temps are going to be in the low 70's with strong winds tonight.
The government is bailing out the banking industry on wall street. Whatever!
Huskers lost this weekend, which sucks! They are not a very good team this year. It is going to be a long season.
The Broncos lost yesterday.
Jess had softball yesterday. They played well but it was cold outside. The weather was chilly and the wind was cold.
Drew went to a overnight birthday party on Friday night and then another one on Saturday night. It was a busy week for him.
I went to Sam's Club yesterday and bought a bunch of stuff. I am going to try to be a bit more of a health eater so I bought some instant oatmeal and granola snack bars.
I feel pretty blah today. Don't really feel like going to work but don't really feel like staying home either. One of those days you just don't know what would make you happy.
I heard there is a fuel shortage down south so I would imagine gas prices are going to spike again. I should fill up today so I am good for the rest of the week and into the next week.
Really nothing else to say. Life is pretty dull right now. I almost hate to post the blog because it is a reminder to me of how uninteresting things are right now.
Monday!

Be thankful if you aren't arrested, infected, or have your butt on the hot seat
The weather has been wet but it looks like the forecast for the next 7 days are going to be sunny. It is going to be hot through Saturday and then cool down a bit next week.
This week has been a complete drag! I guess drag may be an understatement. It really too much to go into on the blog, it would take about 10,000 words. I don't want to write that much this morning and you don't want to read that much so let's just leave it as it has been a suckfest week.
Tonight Jess plays in Dallas Center so I will get to see her play. Friday the football game is here in Perry.
It is garbage day so the ladies will be out. I have a bunch of stuff for the bastards this week. Usually I have a bag or two this week, I have about 4.
One of the high school secretaries was arrested Tuesday for stealing money. She was actually put on administrative leave last October and they finally arrested her Tuesday.
We also have some type of infection spreading through the atheletes at school. There is something that is contaigious, and I think they get it from the weight benches or other shared equipment. The school is in a rush to get hand sanitizers everywhere and clean with bleach all the equipment. It is kind of a mess.
It seems like there is just a lot of things going on right now and it is too much to type. Maybe I will do a video blog this weekend and go into it. It is a little easier to do it on video than to type it.
Ok, off to start the day. Knock on wood it gets better!

700 billion? Let me see what I can find under my sofa cushions.
Rain in the forecast for today.
Class went well. I am a little tired and want to get through tonight's class without incident.
Jess has a home volleyball game and Drew has a home football game. I will get to see Drew play for awhile, his game starts at 4:15. I will miss Jess' game.
That's all.

Fall begins at 10:44....another Summer has come and gone
We are in store for another nice day but there is rain in the forecast for tomorrow. It is actually kind of warm. In the upper 70's to low 80's.
Homecoming was good for the kids. The football team lost but it was close and the team we played was ranked so it wasn't too bad. Jess had a good time at the dance so all was well.
Drew went to a party Friday night at a friends house. He also had a good time. The life of the young.
The kids were busy this weekend with little things they do. Yesterday, we had to go to Ames for Jess' softball league. They lost one and won one. She played well. Had a big hit that was about 5 feet from being a homerun but the girl made an outstretched grab and robber her of a nice hit.
I have two meetings this morning and then class tonight. I actually have a bunch of things to do today. I kind of slacked off on Friday so I have to do some things that I just didn't do last week. Oh well, since Monday sucks anyway it might as well just be a complete suckfest and get it done with.
It probably is best to put all the sucky stuff into one day as much as you can so it can just be ONE bad day as opposed to dragging it out. Kind of like ripping off a band aid, just rip it off, the slower the more painful it really is.
