Back from Wolf Ridge

D. is home!

Wondering...

1) C. had an interview for a charter school, part time this year full time next year. Has another school next week.
2) Been a member of ERMC for one week and was asked to teach the HS class. Would be quite a stretch. I haven't been to SS class in 15 years, C. got a call about the education ctte. last night as well.
3) D. is up a Wolf Ridge (near Ely) until tomorrow. We miss him.
4) Do you remember we went to a coworkers one Saturday for a get together? Going to do that here in the middle of December.

So the Ct. House still hasn't sold, C. is looking for work, and I'm praying about Sunday school.

Update - Mid November

PJ - a guy I met on the bus came over the other evening for pizza, with his wife and girls. Since no one died, they are going to share Thanksgiving with us next week.

N. and I (and S.) went to the Tiger Prowl run by the Gateway and Scenic Districts. It was cool, about 130 tigers and their partners. They ran through eight stations and swam in the pool. S. helped up, running the Hockey Goalie station. I ended up in the auditorium for the opening, telling jokes and leading "Akela says". I am still a bad follower...But jump into leadership.

D. and S. are going rock climbing and swimming tomorrow after church with the Troop. D. has gotten his paperwork caught up so now he should be able to do his Scoutmaster conferences. He leaves for a week at Wolf ridge the week after Thanksgiving with his class as well. It's way up north near the boundary waters, and the clothes list looks like he is going to the Yukon.

Still no progress on the estate back east. The last three potential buyers have wanted it as a commercial property - and amazingly the lot is 3 feet too narrow!

And not lastly, C. and I will become members of Elk River Methodist this weekend.

What happens in NH...

Had a good time with my some of my Scout Leader friends in a cabin in Grafton, NH. Ate very well, and was warm, near the heaters (and fire ring). Visited with my parents and my mother in law, and Dan B. Picked up the summer camp documentation for the big guys.

Brief Update

1- Halloween pictures forthcoming
2 - I will be in New England from 11/1 thru 11/5.
3 - CT house is still not sold....
4 - My Tiger den is doing their hike Sunday.

That's it for now

Happy Columbus Day

1) Birthday went well - got a throwback Grogan Jersey, and then newest Pratchett book "Making Money".
2) Parents return East tomorrow, C. will drive them back. Had a great visit - the guys all acted out at various points. Went on a paddleboat ride through a lock, seeing most of Downtown. We spent a good bit time at Cabelas, and a Tack shop. Umpa spent a lot of time helping me fix up the garage, It is much better now. Just in time for me to fix the brakes in my car tomorrow.
3) First camp out this weekend with the Troop.
4) First den meeting Monday.
5) Anniversary somewhere in there as well, D. thought Perkins was an appropriate location.

They've Arrived!

My parents just got here - I picked them up at the airport, and took the light rail back to the office (and parking garage). Now S. will have someone to take to Panera (not me!).
