Tuesday, March 28

5:57 a.m. - Yesterday went fine.  General Grind was in the room to talk about school to employment path.  Today should go fine too, even though the Monmouth College rep is new.  I will spend a few minutes trying to explain to students the whole "sticker price" thing and why sticker price shouldn't be the initial reason for discounting the path.  And yesterday we got a couple of softball games in at Monmouth-Roseville - the first varsity then fresh-soph afternoon of the season.  I'm pretty sore from that strength training session on Sunday afternoon, so I was very sluggish getting my overweight self around the diamond yesterday.  I had thought maybe about doing some strength training this morning, but I'm going to give myself at least one more recovery day.  I'm headed to ATown today for umpiring...that will be a trip.

The weather forecast is still not looking promising for camping this weekend, which is leaving me mildly irritated.  Sunday is looking great, but Friday's forecast is still calling for thunderstorms, and Saturday morning is calling for snowflakes.  The snowflakes aren't really too much of a concern, we've had a camper out in that situation before...those dang thunderstorms, though, could be a problem.  And it's not the thunderstorms themselves...we've been in the camper in some pretty good storms before, it's just the timing.  I don't really want to be battling the weather when trying to get the camper out of storage and set-up on the site.  It's just no fun getting wet trying to get everything set up.  Plus, on "opening day" we have many items to get out of the house and into the camper...again, rain and wind and thunderstorms don't make that process very fun.

It's still Tuesday...maybe the track of the storm will go south or north or weaken...still too early to make a decision.  I'll just keep monitoring the situation.
