McCain

I really enjoyed the the speech of John McCain tonight. I saw a true hero and leader tonight. Lots of good ideas and patriotism.

The political fence

I was on the fence politically this year... I will say that Barack Obama give a great, motivational speech.

School Starts Soon!!!

The countdown has begun!!! Preschool starts in one week.   YEAH!!  My 4 year old will be attending prechool in the mornings 3 days a week.  He has been ready to go since the first of July and I am ready for him to go now...Summer is more stressful than I remember it was when I was a kid.  But, I wasn't involved in Tball, tumbling.

What could be more fun for a four year old than a trip to the county fair???  Our fair has been going on this week. My son had  entered 2 items in the open class preschool crafts, both blue ribbon winners might I add.   We went to the fair this past Friday night to ride the rides and look around.  It was the night of the demolition derby, so many of the fair attenders were there and the lined for the kids rides were short.

Well July is here and it time for the annual computer purchase at the college. We replace computer labs with new computers and put the old one out to staff and faculty.

This year most of our faculty will have laptops. So recovery of a stolen laptop is on my mind.. I found an open source lojack system called Adeona. I think due to a tight budget we will probably implement this product this year.

New Bonsai

I just started 4 Honeylocust Bonsai. They are all volunteers that were growing around my new willow I planted in the back yard. Thay are all about 2 inchs tall. I have seen some great images of what they can look like. So I am eager to see how these develope.
