Whatever happened to February? And now we're on the verge of April! Gotta get some more posts up... but you already know that. :D
Recent events include: Debating in Houston, debating in Dallas, debating in Arkansas, canoeing trip, debating Joshua, debating Erika, debating empty air, rewriting cases, rewriting cases, researching...
Yeah. Anywho, the last debate tournament was in Houston, a national open. Anybody in the nation could come to this one. And come they did. Most of the people were from region 4 (this general area, several states in the south--I don't remember which ones...), but there was also a large group of "outsiders". I think the "outsiders" actually won both LD and TP, while the region 4 people struggled just to get to the outrounds. And of course there were the unfortunate many, who lost 5 out of their 6 rounds. :'(
All in a short 4 days. Much talking and visiting.
"Shut the door when you go through!"
Must you ask about daily life? Ok. But it's not all fun and games, I have to warn you.
The past few days (for me) have been mostly isolationism. Isolationism this, isolationism that, we need to isolate because of our oil dependence, can't because of the UN, should because of the UN, no way! Assertions all of it! Is NOT! Is too! And the rest of the time is either "typical" school (impossible trigonometric functions, redox chemistry, The Jungle) or just sitting. Plenty of extra time, just not enough motivation to post again.
The cats are shedding. And happy. The gerbil is eating as much as ever, and still chewing through half foot cardboard tubes in less than 10 minutes. "The Girls" all say hi to you too, Daisy.
Had I a picture, I would post it here.

Hmmm.... Sounds like a lot of traveling. Which is what I've been doing, so I shouldn't complain at you, I guess.
ReplyDeleteAn observation: Cats are funny when they start to shed.
Glad you saw fit to update us. Yes, 'tis the season for travel and debate. Two more to go in about three weeks. Hope it is fun.
ReplyDeleteGee, I don't understand what you're saying at all.
ReplyDelete"Count your blessings. 92351. Didn't get crushed underfoot" refers to???
And then you come back and add a frowney face! (Whoo! Jolly! If it's a smiley face it might as well have a frowney face too, right?)
Is this in response to Ell's comment? I think sledding is frightening and my bum is pretty darn close to the ground on a sled. Standing up would be even less enjoyable. Anyway it cost several hundred $ of course and I'm already going on a grande trip to Virginia and D.C. in April. :-D :-D :-D

I wish that I had "plenty of extra time".

I know it's spam - you'd think the spammer might try a bit harder to make his sentences grammatically correct! Lol, do you like how I assume its a GUY? :-)
ReplyDeleteI imagine the legislature meetings are a bit livelier when it's not spring break.
How is the square dancing coming along? Is there going to be a big square dance sometime?
