Friday, August 7 - Last Friday of Summer Vacation 2026

4:59 a.m. - Yesterday was productive.  After attending the admin meeting and surviving that, I went back to the office and accomplished some additional things.  Then I came back home and eventually got to mowing the yard.  I even go thte old sickle out and wacked the tall stuff to knock it down.  I wish today was a full day off to work on the yard some more, but alas it is not.  And while I didn't watch them, the Cubs won again yesterday!

And today I don't know what the hell is going on.  Well, now I do.  Apparently the admin are taking a retreat today and doing a trolley pub.  (I just "Googled" what the heck is a trolley pub.)  Apparently according to the video, a group of people start peddling this "thing" that someone else is driving, and everyone brings their own beverages but the group can also stop at places too.  Did I mention we are doing this in Iowa City?  To be honest, it looks fun.  And it's my last admin retreat, so I should go and join in the fun, right?  Survive and advance.  To be honest, I would really like to get home and do some more work on the yard.  Kevin Phelps is saying storms in Iowa City by 3 p.m., so that should limit how long of day today is right?  Let's hope so.

Amber is heading out to catch a flight to Florida this morning to spend some time with the Southwells.  I'm glad she gets to go to see them before the school year starts.  I'd like to try and do a lunch with Chase this weekend, and I'm hoping on Sunday.  Tomorrow I need to attend a volleyball clinic, and I need to attend a wedding, so there won't be much yard work tomorrow.  Maybe Sunday evening I can go visit Caleb, Carmen, and Tyler.
