Soccer, Baseball, Tenure Track

Hey there all.....I see Cathi is in the middle of major repairs of her house...Looks like she will be qualified to become a general contractor soon. te he

Jamie and Andrew are in the midst of their soccer season. Jamie's team ended up in a tie this Saturday...Jamie scored one of the goals in his teams 3 all tie. Way to go Jamie. They both start up in baseball again soon. Andrew is still in T-ball and Jamie is in Machine Pitch. So it will be off to the baseball diamonds for the next 2 months. Fun to watch them play....as long as it is not too darn hot out. So far it has been a mild spring.

I guess all that has to happen now for me to be hired at the Asst Prof/ Tenure Track level is for the VP of the university to sign off on the transaction form. Hopefully he will do that soon.

Well I better get paying some bills here and get to bed. Happy blogging to all.

Easter Eggs, Easter Dinner, Ice Age 2

I am blogging again...wow....amazing!!! I had a nice Easter weekend....went over to Catherine's house on Sunday and watched J and A hunt for eggs in her front yard. They had fun and it was fun to watch them.
Catherine made a delicious Easter dinner which was enjoyed by all. It was nice of her to invite me over and include me in the festivities. It is good for Jamie and Andrew to see that their Mom and Dad get along well as friends. There was quite a crowd there...Rebecca and Stephen, Catherine's roommate Rhonda and her 2 sons and assorted cats and dogs.
We all then went to the movies...about half went to Ice Age 2...which was my choice and I agree with Cathi.....it was really funny.....I thought it was a hoot. The rest went to Scary Movie 4 which did not get rave reviews.....apparently all the funny parts could be seen on the commercials. Oh well...
It was a busy day today at school. Back to advising students for the next semester. Hard to believe this semester is coming to a crashing halt. But in short order, summer session will be upon us. And as I am teaching 2 courses, hopefully, I guess there is no rest for the wicked. Well TTFN and I will try to blog again soon.

Chuckee Cheese and Tenure Track

Well Jamie and Andrew had their annual chuckee cheese b-day blast. They each had a friend come along and had lots of fun playing games and eating pizza. Catherine and myself co-operatively took them there to celebrate. Stephen, Rebecca and a few others came along to celebrate as well. Fun was had by all.
Well I am another step closer to being hired on the good ol Tenure Track Asst. Professor routine. The paperwork has left the Dean's office and all that is left is for the VP of the university to sign off on it. Perhaps I should send him some lovely handmade pottery just to make sure he signs it...lol...j/k. I will be awaiting anxiously waiting at the mailbox for his letter.
I also sent off my taxes today....not tooooo much damage...only owed a couple of hundred dollars.....so I can survive that. When I teach my extra Continuing Education classes they do not take off any deductions....so that is where I am getting dinged. Oh well, better talk to payroll and get them to take off more deductions...hmmm...seems like I am going in the wrong direction there...oh well.
Good to read the blogs.....I realized I had not read them for awhile and had to catch up. Guess I should check more often...lol.
Well let me see if I can end this on a quote.....

Understanding
"But don’t you see that the whole trouble lies here. In words, words. Each one of us has within them a whole world of things, each man of us his own special world. And how can we ever come to an understanding if I put in the words I utter the sense and value of things as I see them; while you who listen to me must inevitably translate them according to the conception of things each one of you has within himself. We think we understand each other, but we never really do."
