304/365 (October 31, 2010) – Wow! What a day. We held our student cruise for our fall boating class today and the forecast was horrible. No one expected the day to days with sun and large swaths of blue in the sky. Fabulous luck! We used to carve pumpkins every year, seems like it has been less and less often…

Specifically, they…

298/365 (October 25, 2010) – I’ve moaned about the death of the handwritten word before. The next generation seems better at texting in strange shorthand than they are at writing. At what point will pen and paper become obsolete, like cassette tapes and rotary phones. And on that note, if I could find a rotary phone that would work with…
