Valerie is gone!
Well, that is it.... two months after she arrived and a month after her big race - Valerie has taken up residence at Dennis' in the back forty. I am going to miss her. I hope she does not get too many mice in her over the winter. I also hope that she does not get too cold out there. Maybe I should have knit her a blanket.... but I don't know how to knit - and if I did I would have to beat myself up. Oh well - happy winter, Valerie - rest up - Enduro 2011 is coming. :)

Air band
Megan and her friends... "The School Girls"... won the Hillcrest air band competition tonight. No word about possible tour dates yet, but I do plan to keep her away from that Justin Bieber kid. :)

A quick update
So I am sitting at home - sick on a Tuesday afternoon - and you know what? It is boring!
I think I have used like 5 or 6 sick days (at the most) in 20 years here, but Sunday night and yesterday I was done.... high fever, all achy.... I am getting better but I am still in that "I am recovering but I am really grouchy about being sick and sitting around doing nothing" part yet.... so I stayed home again today. I figured that the first person who came in and complained about something was going to get their head taken off... and that likely was not a good plan... so here I am.
My latest discovery.... daytime TV is a wasteland!!!! Well - in fact - I have not even turned on the TV in the last two days. I doubt that there are any hockey or football games on in the middle of the day and - since there is nothing else worth watching on TV - what is the point?
In girl news: All three ladies in my house went and got their hair done last night and they look really good (I did not even ask what it cost..... see I am learning). Maybe they will post pictures sometime soon.
School continues to go well for all... Katie still doing V-ball.... Megan and some friends are doing an air band competition.... Sari is reffing v-ball and keeping the world together.
Me... I helped sheet a garage roof last week... I put the repaired tranny pan back on my Enduro car and it runs and moves again so now I can haul it away until next year's race.
So that is the quick update. Thanks for dropping by... I promise I will post more regularly when the cold hits and I am stuck inside more often.
