Happy Valentine's Day
The writing academy has been going very well. We had several comments on how well-behaved our kids are. These traveling workshop people, I'm sure, have places they would rather not return to - and they aren't always the places you would think. I'm proud to be a part of a school and community that they would fight over because they don't have to spend time disciplining kids.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's weekend. It's hard to believe we have less than a month until Spring Break.

A copy of this was put on Facebook this week for our parents to see what their kids are doing. I didn't know how to do this until I was about 25.

Leatherwood had several people offer to split bills, but she wanted a 3000 sq. ft. house all to herself....she ran out of money quickly and had to settle for a different house.....

Youth
I love TR - and I loved this quote...It was written to boys, but it could be written to anyone of any age.
Ain't Life Funny.....
My sister was between Avalon and Blooming Grove this week - she had read what I wrote earlier this year.....I think the spirit of this woman is with us....definitely a "God" thing.
Disparity in JH Boys.....
This might be my favorite pic of the year....it ain't the size of the dog in the fight.....
Tyson Vs. Douglas
I know I've used this fight before, but today is the 26th anniversary of the biggest upset in boxing history. Douglas later said that he had so much going on outside the ring that Mike was the least of his troubles and that fact was the reason he was able to beat him. There is a lot to learn from that.
Despite the ups and downs in the last 26 years, a gallon of gas today is only 10 cents more.
A Mustang convertible would cost double.
I also added the video of the song that was #1 the same week this happened.
