Growing Up
Today I witnessed something cool.
My second child is starting kindergarden this fall. She had received a letter from her new teacher with her first homework assignment. The homework was something simple like answering questions about her and who she was and what she liked. My daughter was very excited and wanted to answer all the questions writing down the answers herself. What was cool was watching her older sister, who is 10, help her write each letter and number to answer the questions. Her sister had her get a blank piece of paper out and practice on that before the using the provided paper. Her sister was very patient and let her even make a few mistakes then gave her some advice on what to do different the next time.
Both of my kids are growing up!

sudoku
Its a game of logic.
I read about it in Monday's USA Today and was instantly hooked. I brought home the game and showed my wife. We spent most of the night just finishing one game. It's simple yet requires lots of mental energy to piece it all together.

Today I ran 4 miles!
It took me 36 minutes and 34 seconds. I was the 382nd person to cross the finish line.
It was a beautiful day for a run. The sun was warm and the breeze was cool. Not at all like last year, hot and muggy. I started off by myself at the back of the pack and slowly moved forward. After about half way through the race I stared to keep pace with some nice women who run the race together every year. Running with someone is always easier than by yourself. I ran the race about 4 minutest faster that last year.
Happy fourth of July!

Rain Rain Go Away
It's raining outside. I wanted to spend the day in the yard, ok I didn't what to, but I was going to because I started a project of reseeding one part of my front yard. So now I have to do my bills. That is why I am posting on by blog. I like to get distracted with other things on my computer and not do what I am acutely supposed to do.

Inherit the windbags
I knew Maureen Down was good looking but if I knew her writing was this ugly I wouldn't have ever read it.
Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing
