There was a woman who sat next to us for the first part of the season this yr who wanted to know all sorts of things about the school. My favorite- "Do they have co-ed dorms? I hope not that leads to sin." She was a bit older but really?!?!??!! They had coe-ed dorms 30 yrs ago when I went there. Can't imagine what sin they have now with their little suites!

They had coed dorms at RPI when I was there also. When I was a freshman (1964-65), the few girls that we had who did not live at home were housed at Russell Sage College in downtown Troy. Sage was all female at the time. My sophomore year (1965-66) a new dorm (the BARH for any RPI Lodge members who read this) was opened, and one wing was for females. IIRC, the four wings of that dorm all meet at a common cafeteria, so it wasn't truly "integrated". I am not sure when dorms actually became coed, but in 1969-70, I lived in a coed dorm.

Pah. Any fool can win. Losing, though, that builds character! My kid's squirt team just lost again yesterday, so we're doing something right. :p (Actually they only lost 5-1 to an excellent City of Lakes team. They were losing 13-0 just four weeks ago. So there is progress.)

(PS: goldy, I wonder if anyone's going to touch your Mary Jane question with a ten foot pole?)

I wasn't there for this part, but I'm told that with the wind gusting as it did the main warming house tent was evacuated and declared structurally unsound. Wear did they put everyone? They put them onto the lake. Where's the lake in relation to the tent? That's right, the lake is down wind from the tent.

"Forty-two people were injured Saturday when stiff winds blew a giant tent off its moorings, landed on them, wrapped them up, and para-skied them half way to Wausau."

Yes, but you could be excused for mistaking one of them for a man. :p

Going to enjoy my day off with some Inauguration Coverage and enjoy it less with some homework.

despite whatever you think of any politician, I still feel it is important to watch every Inauguration.

Hey kids. Back to work after a crapfest weekend. Two horrible losses for BU, the Pats loss, which I chose to not view as I knew THAT was going to happen because as I was doing my shopping yesterday morning I saw a large "Countdown to Ray Lewis Retirement" billboard. So I knew it was inevitable. Why can't the person or company who wasted money for that put that money to better use, or save it for a huge "Thanks for playing Ray! Don't let the door hit you in the *** on the way out!" billboard to go up today? I hate people sometimes.

Anyway, heading to Colorado Springs later today for a meeting and tour of the Olympic Training Center there tomorrow. We were supposed to take off at 4pm but it just got pushed back to 5:00pm. Which is bothersome because we're supposed to get snow about that time. I was hoping we would already be airborne by then.

My kid did plenty of losing as a mite and a bit more as a squirt, not as much as peewee and even less at Bantam. As a mite (all house league back then) we played against one team where the kids said after, we scored 4 and Nicky scored 8. Nicky now plays for BSM as a freshman. We also played against Brian Bellows' kid - he would score the 8 and also beat our kids up while doing it.

ETA: Very jealous of Scarlet today. Enjoy the trip!

...One of the kids on my son's team got caught smoking the ganja (not red handed but the kid who did get caught ratted him out). All the kids on the team knew he was toking up. Should I talk to the parents of the other kids who are known pot-heads? I'm torn on this one. It's all rumors and largely based on who the kids hang out with. On the other hand if I was as clueless as some of these parents appear, I think I'd like to get a hint from another parent who heard the rumors.

When my kid played on a team the wild parents had the wild kids. Later when they were caught at stuff the parents were more concerned they were stupid enough to be caught than they were doing it. :rolleyes: Ask an open ended question to see if they heard about the issue. If they seem horrified about the situation then you could consider telling them there are rumors about their kid, you aren't sure but thought they might like to know what is being said. Reassure them you won't discuss it with other parents but if it was your kid, you would want to know. Then leave it. They can pursue or not. As the team manager (or what ever titile you have) you can play the game that people tell you things that others might not hear.

That is tough tho. We struggled with this when Lil was in 6th grade :eek: and one of his teammates was openily bragging about drinking. With his father. Father was a raging alcoholic. Mother shrugger her shoulders at all Dad's antics, including when he was kicked out of various rinks/escorted out by police. We decided not to say anything because the guy had a rep for being violent and it was likely he was the person his son was drinking with. It was made easier that the school was watching the kid and I was suspicious that Chilrens' Service might be involved.
