Random Thoughts 16: “Somebody had to do it” edition

[NWICY]

Free to a good home up to 3 WBB tickets for tonite's game at 630 in Hilton. Let me know by 1 and I'll transfer them to you. Came down with enough of a cold that I'm going to miss this evening.

So many lessons today, but so much else to do.
Apparently, 10 of my 25 online students for the current DMACC class are high schoolers. Some were dropped for non-attendance, including one who turned stuff in after the deadline. With some coordination, we're able to get them back up and rolling, though earlier communication might help avoid that problem altogether.

In other news, the cash-in from all this is delayed, because DMACC and Drake are paying later than I planned. For that reason, I'm glad I kept the restaurant thing, but the way schools delay this stuff is absurd.

Went to a high school basketball game because I have a cousin who plays for West Marshall who was in town to play Nevada. Left a few minutes ago and told my mom to watch out because Nevada's high school parking lot has a bunch of curbs which are hard to see as the parking lot isn't lit well. Everything went fine on the curb stepping off but missed the one I had to step up on and totally wiped out.

So ****ing embarrassed. They were a few people that were out there and helped me up. Just a few minor hand scratches, but my pride was hurt more than anything. I was more worried that I had broken my phone. I'm only 41 but have speed and mobility of someone twice my age.

My daughter fell on the stairs inside of a building at one of Erik's schools. She's now on crutches and wearing a boot because her ankle is messed up. I blame Erik. You're welcome to blame him for your fall in the parking lot too.

I will wear your scorn as a badge of honor.

I'll take them if you can delay the game until Saturday.

Youngest daughter turns 16 today. She will probably end up getting her driver's license tomorrow. Ahhhhh!

And how old does that make you feel this morning?

And how old does that make you feel this morning?

Old. That is all.

Well, not all. I am also cold as the heating unit for my office is out and the little space heater isn't keeping up very well.

I can only imagine. My kids are still young and it seems like it'll still be forever until they are driving, but then I realize it'll probably just fly by and they'll all be out of the house before I know it.

I prefer warm, black coffee. It drives the rest of my family nuts.

Black coffee as well, except for a Vietnamese French Coffee which is more like a dessert than coffee. I haven't had one in ages as I figured it was nothing but fat and calories. Anything that tastes so good has to be bad for you.

I don’t drink pop and I kinda switch up what I like for my afternoon stuff. I don’t like hot coffee after lunch very much.

I think it was Erik's day to de-slip the stairs and parking lot.

I don't do coffee after lunch either. I will occasionally have a pop but generally have a sparkling water which my son describes as tasting like TV static.

On a webinar for a chunk that is supposed to be mentioned. They are starting with stuff I know in and out myself and are monotone and dry. I need to stay awake until they get to what I want. It’s kinda painful.

My daughter texted me about Wordle. Said I would like it. She's correct.

She also said there's a math one, too. She's coming tomorrow for the weekend from the Twin Cs and she's going to show me. I'll keep everyone posted.

Guy and lady leading. Guy doesn’t even look interested or paying attention when the lady talks. Then again he doesn’t look interested when he talks.

A math Wordle? Like we are supposed to guess a mathematical formula every day?
E=MC2
C=2PR
A=LxW

Twin C’s??? My 14 year old brain always over rides.

Ames and Omaha aren't really all that far apart yet the weather here is no where near as extreme as central Iowa.
