6:00 a.m. - Last night was our last scheduled night in Iowa. Unless there is some type of need to fill in for something else, the Iowa uniform can be put away. I'm ready. The Iowa nights are longer and don't feature as much pay. Plus, the fans are more offensive. The basketball is actually better, but that doesn't make up for the other stuff.
I did get to hear from Chase yesterday. I miss him. I miss good times with him. Actually I miss all my kids right now. The holidays are over; the weather isn't very nice yet; and they are spread out. Maybe I'll get to see Carmen at the end of the week when we officiate at West Central.
The Super Bowl is this weekend...I'll try to look forward to that. Also, there is some weather moving in tomorrow morning, but it appears that it won't be enough to affect school. I could use a snow day right now, but if the forecast this morning is correct, it won't happen.
I have a new book I'm reading that Shawn loaned to me. It's really good, but it's also really positive...too positive. I don't yet hear or sense any regrets, which intrigues me. I have a lot of regrets. I wonder if the regrets grow as we grow older. If a person puts time into something, then something else doesn't get that time, right? I know the goal is to achieve a healthy balance, and that's great. But a balance means there are times that you give something up in order to maintain a balance. I hope in the book I'm reading there will also be some realistic discussion of the sacrifice that is made when anyone is dedicated to something. Dedication to something means lack of dedication to other things.
Today we will be starting the next activity in the current unit. It will be a group project...the only group presentation project of the school year for the course. It will be a hard sell, but it still needs to get done.
Things to do for school

- Write an argument in which you select an historical figure you have encountered so far in English III or U.S. History that would prove to be an effective leader for the United States in 2023. In your argument include research of relevant background information of your selected individual, as well as her/his effective leadership traits (and if you believe those traits would translate to today's modern challenges).
