Scooter Boards

Wow, I just saw this advertised on some kid's blog site and memories came flooding back.

I had no idea this was a real product. I assumed it was something that Daddy brought home or made for some project.

I do remember having blast on these things, whipping around the basement floor, under the ping pong table, and around the corners. It makes me want to buy one for Jackson and then pull up the run in the living room so he can roll around unimpeded. Oh yeah, and buy a ping pong table since that was integral to the fun I am sure. Lyle won't mind, right?

Baby It's Cold Outside

8am -- It is an unreal -17 real temperature outside with a wind-chill of -25 degrees. The university cancelled classes last night due to the cold and they are closed today. I don't quite understand this logic since we tend to hold all of our classes indoors. We usually even let the clerical workers in when it is really cold. But there you are.

I had the roads to myself this morning. They are certainly icy, but not unmanagable at a reasonable speed (about 5mph was good). I did have a little trouble punching in the security code with my frozen fingers but now I can get some work done with no distractions.

8:15am -- Outlook just popped up to remind me of a 3.5 hour meeting I have scheduled at 8:30am. Woo hoo!! I won't be sorry to miss that one.

I had a very similar 3.5 hour meeting yesterday morning at 8:30am and this was my view out the window. It was hard to keep my mind on budgets.
