Day two

Day two of my month away from school. It is eerily quiet. I created a new budget, checked the mail, read the mail, threw most of the mail away, played a little apartment putt-putt and had lunch. If only I could get paid for it. Speaking of getting paid to do ridiculous things. Have you heard of the MLB player who was dropped by the Seattle Mariners? He is still owed $11 million by his previous team the Arizona Diamondbacks. What is he doing now? Why he is playing in a recreational softball league of course! This is his last year under the contract, but for the next few months he will be paid the remainder of his $11 million. The original contract was 3 years for $30 million.

I really have nothing else. I suppose I could read another news story and give you my thoughts, but thats why you have cable news networks.

In the words of the old country - bye

This is new - for me

I actually had to search google to find our blog. Once I found it I had to remember what the password might be. I'm glad I have a good memory.

For those of you who don't know - (which is probably no one, but for the sake of giving me something to write about lets just go with it) Meredith is working and taking classes at UH and i'm taking classes at HBU. Meredith has 6 of 15 (36 if she decides to get the full masters) hours knocked out and I have 18 of 49 hours completed. We are officially done with our respective classes for one month. Then summer classes start. This summer i'm taking career counseling and theories of counseling. For the fall i'm taking psychology of learning, research techniques, clinical psychopathology, and individual psychological evaluation. Should be fun.

Eventually we will open our own college teaching only education and psychology courses. We will call it College of Wiley and Meredith. It worked for William and Mary so I thought why not Wiley and Meredith. We even have the same initials. I suppose we lack the King and Queen title, but those are just petty details.

So, how about El Nino? Also, I have a struggling fantasy baseball team. If anyone can offer any advice on strategies to get it going I would be much obliged.

I'm Back!

So, it's been forever since I visited this site and now it feels outdated. Wiley and I are so tired of talking about and learning how to be married that we're ready to be out of the "Newlywed" title. Currently I am sitting in a classroom learning about student blogging available through my school district. Because I am part of the technology grant at my school I am required to learn cool new technologies and expect my students to use them. I'm excited about the potential these resources bring, but it's a LOT to get used to. I'm looking forward to this summer when I will have more time to play around and become familiar with these things. Hopefully I'll get more involved with this blog as well.
