Off the air

Construction at the house has taken over my internet connection and just about everyting else. We have been habituating Georgie and Lucy at the apt. Nigel, the sweet black maine coon cat is off at Linzi and Seans. Linzi and Sean are off today to Vermaont to see his folks and view the colors. Best of luck.

I only missed one walk day to cat naturalization.

Our construction project is going swimmingly along. New stronger trusses that will hold a 300 pound man are replacing the standard 2X4s at 18inches. The constuction foreman is impressed. The master bedroom is totally gutted as well as the dining room, and kitchen. The foundation and the outside walls are in place.. very exciting.The contractor says that he should have to new roof completed by next Friday..and will be ready for the next installment of cash.

We are about to get Comcasted today. New TV 32inch Vizio HD 720P is in our apt. and will be hooked up today.. I hope from one to five. We are also getting the mac hooked up to their internet broadband connection.

I am the teacher supervisor at the the homecoming dance tonight from 8:45 to midnight. Heather has informed me that this is the one dance that they all come in drunk.. joy. They are now using breathilizers which were not in place when she was going to school however there was talk about it at that time.

Homecoming is quite an event at Merced High. There is a parade downtown, a rally, fireworks at the game, class skits and dance numbers at the game, and the crowning of the king and queen. Usually the king crowned is somebody's little brother as the King has football work to do... hawh hawh hawh. Go for it Orange and Black (Merced High's colors)

I got a nice letter from mom and dad yesterday. We ordered up some ink the last time he was there and he is using it to make a ton of 4x6 prints. It also has a scan feature so that it can print out a print order by circling and reading the ones you wanted to print.

Heather is hard at work with a new assignment. She is the boss at the children's center part. She can still do small group work with them and finds that the raise wasn't as big as she had hoped.. sounds familiar.

I am sending this off at work.. one school I can do this while at another I cannot..

My next entry should be through the comcast system at home.. if all gets installe this afternoon.

Love
Pat

I am crossing my fingers that your comcast situation goes smoother than mine did!! Are you going to get internet connection at your loveshack? That adds a completely new layer of complexity and required another visit and four more phone calls... In the end it is worth it to have high speed internet, especially in order to do my classwork. I am proud of your walking, 'trick, you are a good role model for me!
