6:22 a.m.
- I have 23 students that have chosen remote learning, which makes my teaching position more challenging.
- If George Floyd and Dante Wright wouldn't have resisted arrest for a crime they allegedly committed, they wouldn't have died at the hands of police officers that used excessive force and deserve to be held accountable. Floyd and Wright should have died from the officers' actions, but they would have lived through their arrests if they would have complied with officers. I'm always okay with looking at how anybody can improve their job, including police officers, but included in the discussion has to be the behavior expected out of citizens who are stopped by police.
- Today was garbage day. Today was also the fourth day of the week that I went downstairs and walked on the treadmill before sitting down to watch my morning news. I'd been having trouble getting my exercise in because I'd sit down to "wake up" with my coffee and get interested in the news, and time would get away from me. So this week I'm trying to watch the local news while walking on the treadmill downstairs. Then I come up and spend a little time here and thinking about my day. So far it's worked for my time problems. I'm hoping tomorrow when I do my "Friday weigh-in" that I've lost at least one pound this week.
- Last night I officiated volleyball with Braeden at Geneseo. My hope is that Braeden, Shawn, and I develop into regular partners for volleyball. Having regular partners just makes the night more fun, which makes the night go by quicker. And last night, even though Braeden and I are inexperienced, we had fun. It didn't hurt that all three matches were just two sets and lopsided sets, but it was still the most comfortable night I've had so far on a 3-match night. Tonight Braeden and I head to Monmouth-Roseville. He's going to take the stand for the varsity match tonight.
- Today's PAY-DAY...but the weather continues to be very cold. I'm glad I'm not umpiring high school softball this week, and the cold temps are keeping the grass from growing too much while I can't get to it. I hope tomorrow to mow grass after school.
