We had a 7:00 p.m. appointment, thank goodness for the internet. Read about the Kalamazoo Promise story on the CBS news site, and watch the video from last night’s CBS News. BTW, Granny thinks this is good idea. Additionally, you might notice that the superintendent and the news anchor interviewing her are both female. That’s a … Read more
It doesn’t happen much around here, but the world is frozen. It was below zero last night, and many of the schools are closed. It’s a great day for GS2 to sleep in, after all the Super Bowl food he ate last night. We went “up north” over the weekend and visited M-in-L. Her birthday … Read more
You may remember that D2 and her family moved to a new town at the end of the summer. She took a job with the Kalamazoo Public School District. Most school districts in Michigan are on hard times, but the Kalamazoo district has a little something going for it, the Kalamazoo Promise. This is a … Read more
It’s cooled off, some days are even cold! I’ve been enjoying the chance to go out and scrape snow off the drive. There hasn’t been a lot, but there is something about spending 15 or 20 minutes outside that makes the house seem warmer. For the record, we didn’t go to the auto show at … Read more

I think I said once before about my Dad’s colored days. Today is definitely gray, but I’m not in a gray mood. I got the garbage and recycling out, straightened up a shelf, decided what books to give away and/or sell, started the wash, made the bed, and shoveled the drive. We had only about … Read more
Well, my sinus infection is much improved, meaning that I feel better–not that the infection feel better. Working on redesign of all my web pages, again, or still.
It’s Wednesday already and I’ve accomplished nothing this week. To understand why I say nothing, I think I’ll analyze what I have done. Doctor’s appointment 2 trips to the drug store for the prescribed medications Ripped on to the computer, cataloged and stored the CDs we bought over the weekend Put out the garbage Cooked … Read more
It’s a contest. I’ll say nice things about the person who can tell me how to fix the screwed up post display. If something isn’t screwed up, I already figured it out!
