Billy Joel, she ain't!

If Janet Jackson is the queen of the Rhythm Nation, I would be the king of the Rhythmless Nation. My music skills are limited. Hell, they are non-existent. I did convince my daughter that 'Daddy sings like the angels'. But even at two and a half she didn't beleive that for long. I am in the car today and a tiny voice pipes up from the backseat. "Sing me the song, Piano Man." I had to laugh. Of course, I heard it for the next thirty minutes. Not on key and using a new melody.....she's a chip off the old block.

At least they don't melt in your hands.

2 and a half is a great age, but in reality all ages have been great (so far). My daughter looks at me and says "An M+M will make my boo-boo feel better." I can't resist, so we share a king size bag on the way home from the grocery store. Just a normal king size bag, not the three pounder. This summer I saw a bag of M+Ms with a handle!!!!! The problem with M+Ms is the bag is always gone before midnight, regardless of size. I suspect that you can buy M+Ms in forty pound bags somewhere, just like dog food. Check your local Sam's, Costco, BJ's and get back to me.

Good to be home again!

Well, I am back from a month at grad school. UVa in Physics Education, I am a part time geek. I also coach high school football to balance out my geekiness. I'm glad to be home. I came home on the weekends, but only had about 30 hours before it was time to head back up the highway. I could literally see my daughter grow from week to week. At least the rest of the degree is online. Of course, football cranks up now. I will be doing M,T and Friday. Not full time, but enough for the adrenaline rush. The best part of coaching for me has always been building relationships with kids. That is harder by not being at the school, but not impossible. Nicole is 2 and 1/2 now, so full speed ahead. I also have fifty things on the honey-do list. Hi-ho, Hi-ho........
