5:59 a.m. - Yesterday's projects viewed in the classes had good content for the most part. There were many students that didn't spend much time on being creative with the slides, and that will decrease their grades, but at least they got the content portion. In addition, yesterday's softball at Moline was cancelled. I can't say that I mind. I did pick up a game today at Mercer County, but we aren't camping, so I may as well run over to Aledo, freeze my butt off, earn a little money, and then come home. The weather is just too cold for a weekend camping trip this weekend.
Today is a half-day. I think for my SIP activity, I've received approval to research next year's new digital SAT. At least this is something I'm interested in.
I continue to enjoy the research I'm conducting on Loud Thunder. Yesterday, I continued to learn more about activities that occurred prior to Charles J. Searle owning the land. (Searle would eventually sell the land to Rock Island County.) I know it's a little geeky, but I enjoy digging and finding nuggets of information from a historical perspective. Maybe I'm just getting old, and that sort of stuff interests me now at my age.
I spoke with Cole on the phone last night. He continues to live near the L.A. area. Apparently he's getting by on money he's earning on umpiring. The rest of his life is a bit obscure...he doesn't share much. I think he spends a lot of time just enjoying the west coast....the weather, the hiking, the different stuff to do. I tried to call Carmen, but she apparently was napping; I did get an email from her, and she said she and Tyler and their dog Arlo are doing well. Apparently she and Tyler are both looking for different jobs.
There isn't a whole lot of spring IHSA softball days left. With regionals starting mid-May, those assignments should be coming out pretty soon. I guess seeding isn't completed until May 2 and May 9, so assignments won't yet be out for a few weeks. I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up going 3A/4A this season.
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).
