My co-worker and I get a day off (of sorts). We accompany the group of elementary students that have managed to get in 100% of their homework turned in. Pizza and video games in Springfield for the day. It will be a nice change of pace from our normal routine of not leaving our classroom all day because we have a steady stream of remedial students through our doors. On average she and I help between 30 and 40 students with math or communication arts in a day. It's a load.

It's time to fill out apps for student aid and scholarships for E. She is already taking a college algebra class in school and she scored a 30 on her ACT which is fabulous since it qualifies her for all tuition paid at the university in Springfield. Yay! We have some other local scholarships she will apply for and hopefully things will look peachy- even more so than now.

J has a gig with the pep band every home game and he has managed a celebrity status because of it. He plays cowbell. People are coming up to him in public, recognizing that he is the cowbell player in the band. I just witnessed his shtick last night first hand. Let me tell you, the boy expends some major energy. Ive never seen a white boy with a head of hair like his, head bag like that. I can't even describe it. Maybe YouTube will have a video of it soon.

Have a good day and an even better weekend.

You need to get him that t-shirt with "More Cowbell" apparently from an old SNL skit. Imagine, a cowbell musician with groupies!

Funny! Let us know when you have video.
We're just beginning the college process and I confess feeling overwhelmed. Good luck with it all!

WP, we have talked about that and indeed, it would be just right for him. Cheerleaders that stand right in front of him for the games would not agree with "more" however.
AM, I would like to film Homecoming this Friday so perhaps...
E decided on the college just 30 miles away which we have a lot of personal history with, making it more comfortable. There are a lot of people willing to walk you through the process, too, which is helpful.
