uncommonly feeble and random thoughts

It makes sense that I post every seven months or so. Good match for how interesting my life is. We did acquire a puppy. Puck the Wonder Labradoodle. So far so good. Born June 1, came to pee at our place July 28. I've been busy working on my high school class reunion web presence. Plus a few hours here and there for the Michigan Dept. of Ed. - high quality professional learning for teachers, where is it actually happening (it is) and what are they doing. Coming soon to a conference near you. Linda's been way busy, in charge of NCLB for Michigan. Just orchestrated the state's visit from the GAO. Yep. Linda spearheading an audit. Incongruous and counterintuitive for those who know her, but true is true. And she belted it out of the park, no steroids needed. Not nearly the boatin' I'd have liked this summer, but it's nice to have the option. Ditto scuba... I can dive, I just don't . I think Jamie's scuba interests are now toward spring break. ...

Hard to believe there's so little to say, and a whole Internet upon which keyboarded drivel can be inflicted. Talk about the show about nothing. The rink is soup and Mother Nature is 0-2 in two consecutive seasons. O where is the winter of my youth? Howling winds, driven snow, days off school... No matter. Best constructed rink ever, best rink liner ever (this one actually holds water!), and best lighting scheme ever. But no ice. So we are compensating for this by logging beaucoup ice arena hours, following (bringing? not!) Jamie to venues throughout Michigan, studying Google maps and handheld GPS directions to the Ice Cube, Eddie Edgar, Devon-Aire and various other Colisea (right?) and arenae (right?) . Boy do we know how to partee.
