Happy Birthday Cathy!

Chuck and I helped Cathy celebrate her birthday at Weasel Boy Brewery in Zanesville with a Blue Grass Band.  Good entertainment, great company and White Castles for the ride home...can't imagine a finer birthday.

Day 21: Let it Snow!

As I am bowling, I get a voice mail from my wife that her school already called off for Friday and it sounds like she is doing a snow dance on the bed as she is yelling and screaming in joy!  So practice from 12:00-2 and Gordon Biersch at 6:30 with Staffans and my day off is a wrap.

Day 17: A Surprise Visit

Basketball practice at noon and then a couple of hours of recording grades, but everything is finished and sent....start grading period 3 tomorrow.  Chad, Lisa, Jake, Joe and Ellie all stopped by to visit for awhile on this holiday evening. A nice surprise after a restful break.

Basketball Bucks New Number One!

Went to watch West Jeff's boys basketball team play last night with Tom, Eric and Zack.  We stopped at Kingys Pizza and watched the Buckeyes defeat Penn State before making our way down the road to Berne Union as all three WJ teams won.  Go Riders, Go Bucks!

January 12th: Two hour delay

We started today off with a two hour delay...Cathy of course had a normal day, snow or no snow!  The periods went by quickly with the students attempting to finish up all of their projects for the end of the second grading period. We have Thursday to wrap things up and Friday as a teacher work day.

1-11-11

A little snow scare and WJ went to an early release today at 12:30.  Guess where my kids spent their time off?

January 10th

Sorry John, I had to pull rank and confiscate the truck because the van finally said enough is enough...probably fuel line freeze up.  So while the Ford is recovering I will be the cowboy in the blue Dodge.  John thinks that it is time to trade the ole' girl in on a new Challenger.  We'll see how it all works out, but until then, please pick the boy up if you see him hitchhiking!

9th Day of 365 Project

Sunday is my workout time (during volleyball and basketball season) where its me against the machines and my only ally is my Ipod.

Day 8 Cort's vacation is over!

Last night of vacation for Cortney before travelling north to Baldwin Wallace to resume studies.  Both the jv and varsity teams defeated Grandview in girls' basketball.

7th Day of 365

Long week back and now it is time to enjoy a great dinner, fantastic brew and my favorite wife.  If this doesn't recharge the batteries, nothing will.

Day 6 Thursday is Bowling Night

A new bowling ball is all that it takes to start the year off right-4 wins to begin the second round of the season.

Day 5 Rider Basketball

A new year and another victory for the Varsity...unfortunately the Junior Varsity lost.  At least we finished the game with 5 girls on the floor!

Tuesday, January 4th...all geared up for the Big Game.  Pizza on the way, wings are in the oven, Buckeyes need to regain some RESPECT for the Big Ten.  Go Bucks!
