It's that time again


Some say the public education system is going downhill quickly.
I am one of those people.
Last week, we stood in line for TWO FRICKIN HOURS JUST
TO REGISTER THE YOUNGUN FOR HIGH SCHOOL. Not efficient
in my book, and if they can't run that right how should I
expect them to....oh never mind.

I could homeschool easily here and have been looking into it -
On so many levels I could do a better job and occasionally
think about various ways and methods of teaching. But I don't
want to deny the whole high school experience if possible, so
we'll give it a go with the public system. They regularly
p*** me off though - the teachers can't write, grade papers,
and teach when they don't know how themselves. I guess that is
what bothers me the most, when I get an email from a teacher with
many words misspelled, etc.

CLASSIC LITERATURE - Almost a thing of the past. Lately I've
been reading 'Little Women'. I have vowed to re-read some classics
and re-charge my brain. In between the classics I'm into the
Stephanie Plum series, ROFL. Mixing it up a little bit there!

Get me out of here!


Missouri that is.
Mis-ery.

Bear with me. I knew what I was getting into with people
when we moved back to the midwest...I will not insult any
midwesterners or former midwesterners on this page. The
people are different, yes. Besides the point.

This weather is nuts. Are we in the south, the midwest, what?
In the winter it can get cold, just not as long as it does
in other places, and we get snow and ice storms here. Then
spring finally comes and you spend the entire spring hiding
from the tornado potential. Summer gets here and it sizzles,
with that humidity it sucks! Fall isn't that bad in all
honesty.

Hopefully moving to AZ. If not AZ then hopefully Nevada.
Not Nevada then hopefully ANYPLACE but here. Had enough
after seven years!!!! I want back to that low or no humidity.
Back to the mountains. Back to the southwesterners =)

...Eating a lot








Summer vacation means.......

Radio Days


The worst of times, but also some of the best of times.

Accident




As mentioned in the past entries, I had a bad auto accident in 1991.
Hit the only patch of ice between Albuquerque and Denver, and rolled
my Suzuki Samurai on the Raton Pass. And I WASN'T wearing a seatbelt.
Ended up with a concussion, broken ribs, and bruised from toes to top
of head. Could only work part time for months. Came across these pictures
at my parents' house and got them scanned.
