You're a glutton for punishment ain't you??

Been babysitting the girlfriends black lab while she's visiting family in Mississippi for 2 weeks. Starting to get to the point where our dogs will tolerate his puppy foolishness. Now if we can get them to decide if they want to be inside or outside.

I live about a mile from campus.. I park at my girlfriend's place which is about a ten minute walk to most of my classes; works swell.

Well if you prefer early classes, fine. But your post I responded to seemed like you were unhappy with the 8 am start.

Just not used to the early start time yet. Haven't had a class that early since spring semester last year.

Howdy. Down at dock loading our first of two barges to head north, finally. The wind died down just enough to let us make the 8 hour jump from Houston this afternoon.

Just looked at the river levels on the Mississippi in case we head that way and looks like we are now approaching flood levels. Crazy how just a month ago, maybe 6 weeks, we were still close to historic lows. This is a great example of why I love my job, everything changes so much trip to trip, sometimes even day to day, that it keeps things interesting and always challenging.

However, all the water is coming off the Ohio River, not the Upper Mississippi, where it is really needed.

Thinking about it. Not real wild about listening to Fletcher (pun intended - sorry). Would rather hear about the Gophers vs Whioux than the workings of the lockout and its end. Gabe's is awful close to where I work though.

You can stay in DC but it'll cost you a set of hockey tix and a space in your rental car ;)

I don't think I want to road trip from DC to Pittsburgh for the games. ;)


After looking last night I have decided that hotels close to the arena are really **** expensive. I don't want to do it, but I think I'd have to get a hotel out of downtown and cab it. I still need to find some people to spit a hotel with, regardless. I want to make this as cheap of a trip as possible, and I'm on my way, with the $500 Delta voucher I have.

BBDL if you need help with Pittsburgh stuff let me know. Obviously I have some insights having lived here for 7 months now.

Morning, all!

For a Gen Ed requirement I still need filled, I have a Community Leadership class; this is something I'm actually very excited about.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #160: Resolute in 2013

To think that part of my DC tax money paid for part of the education of the cashier at the Subway where I ate lunch. What a waste! :mad: I would explain, but Math is involved. :D

FWIW I have a warped sense of humor.

Here is a quote from Twitter that I found quite funny regarding Lance Armstrong. "I bet Lance Armstrong even used drugs to win his fight against cancer. What a f ing cheat."

Can you get extra credit for coaching squirts? I'd try for it. Lots of leadership there and community based.

I'm hoping if there are service hours required that this will suffice; takes up a ton of my extra time on and off the ice.

It was interesting, to say the least. We gathered in a conference room with no desk or tables, just an oval of 40 chairs. No syllabus talk or anything like that. Our professor flat out told us he was just here as a host, that we would be conducting the content.

We were asked to write down our name and a few words about community leadership, a type of leadership, an idea, or something that we wanted to learn throughout the course. Of the 40 kids in class, I think 10 of us did so.

We then posted these on the wall, and picked one of two twenty minute time slots, as well as a station number to gather at.

I wrote down Make a Difference Uniquely. Not sure that I worded it correctly, but I wanted to stress and discuss that I feel it's important for each individual to help impact people with their strengths.

Only one other guy came to my conversation. :p It was tough to compete with a Somalian man though, who works with a community center for Somlian kids. He had an idea about helping improve and renovate it. That attracted the majority of the class.

Bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet.

Thought about an iPad, but wanted to keep all my technology on the same platform (android/google) for ease of use. Also a bonus that it supports Flash. I know HTML5 is the future, but a lot of sites still use Flash.

Will be great for watching NHL and MLB games via wi-fi. Verizon users of NHL app get extra content, including live streaming of NBC games.
