Monday, March 3

5:30 a.m. - Today is the last day of basketball officiating season...just need to survive and advance past today.  Yesterday wasn't a day of great accomplishments, but I got done what I needed to get done.  I went to the old gym at the high school and played around with different set ups for shoes and inserts and braces to use for tonight's game and figured out an approach I'm going with.  I'm not sure if it will work, but at least I tried.  Then I went and checked on mouse traps in the camper, and there was no evidence of mice in the traps.  Then I went and visited mom and dad and got some hay down and filled the grain can.  And then I came home and watched basketball and soaked my bad legs in ice water.  

Today there isn't much scheduled on the "to-do list" for today, so I should be able to spend some time getting to items that are in progress that I need to work on.  I have some things I need to complete for next week's BOE meeting, and some things I need to do to prepare for scheduled items later in the week.  We are supposed to get heavy rain tomorrow, so maybe the students can get outside today.

Sunday, March 2

8:02 a.m. - Yesterday went fine - youth basketball, celebration of life, visit the Hoenigs...well, we did screw up and miss Greg's Birthday Dinner.  His birthday is today, so we thought the dinner was today.  And then I had hoped to visit today, but he's headed to Florida.  He turned 60, so that was a big one, and I'm feeling pretty guilty that the dates got screwed up.  

Brinley made a basket yesterday - her first of the season.  To be honest I was more impressed with the other team, though.  Their coach had obviously been working on getting her players to pass and dribble correctly.  Then we went to a Celebration of Life for Laura McGinnis.  It truly was a celebration...she was a pretty cool lady, and the celebration was really, really good.  And then it was off to spend some time with Caleb.  I sure wish they lived closer, but now that basketball is over, perhaps I can get down there more often.  He sure is growing.  

Today.  I'd like to get some exercise.  I'd like to check mouse traps and visit mom and dad.  And I'd like to get some couch time and watch some basketball.  There are a couple of good games to watch today, so I'll plan on that.  I may need to visit mom and dad early or later.

Saturday, March 1

6:28 a.m. - Yesterday was a much better day.  I was able to accomplish a lot at ICE - mostly due to an uneventful morning that was a half day anyway.  And then in the afternoon, I could get paperwork done.  After school, I joined Amber to run some errands, and we also stopped at the Texas Roadhouse in Davenport and used a gift card to have supper.  After that I watched the Rockridge basketball game, and they lost, which ends their season.  After that I watched the coverage of the U.S. President and Vice-President showing their glory and seizing an opportunity to ambush the President of Ukraine on camera.  It was like watching a horror show - embarrassing, humiliating, sad.  And now the MAGA Republicans are spinning the horror show as the two idiots fighting for America.  Hell, even the Ag Secretary on Fox News, who was supposed to be on the program to talk about bird through, had to start her answer with a show of support for the wonderful President and Vice-President.  That was a total shit show, and the world is now less safe than it was yesterday.  I continue to be amazed that I continue to get amazed at how the United States people elected such a moron.  I genuinely fear that a second coming of Adolf Hitler is coming in the United States.

Today is also going to be eventful, with a mix of good and bad.  We are going to go watch some youth basketball, and then we have to attend another funeral, and then I'm headed to Fort Madison to spend some time with Caleb.  It's been too long since I've seen him.  I'm not sure what I'm doing tonight...hopefully relaxing and watching some basketball.  Tomorrow, I think all that is on the table is going to Greg's birthday party.

I've got one more game to officiate this season.  Just got to get through that one.  I watched myself working the United Sectional Final.  I look terrible - old, frail, and slow.  I just need to get healthier and be better.  I did find the broadcast interesting, so I took some time to send a friendly message to the two commentators to let them know my thoughts.
