Surveying the larder before hitting the market...thinking a grilled fish to go with these and the lettuce I have in the frig already. (Paper thin slices of potato and onion for a gratin.) Got any better ideas?
The Hoosiers travel to meet the Hawks in IC this weekend. After reading the injury list, am thinking those Hawks are maybe having a little extra practice time this week as rumor has it on the streets Ferentz needs a win at Kinnick, not wanting to start out 0 for 2 in the conference and all. Will the Hoosiers beat them again this year...quite a few of the same players on both sides...can't discount that traditionally Iowa is a football school and just going into all that with those football fans is daunting...sort of like coming to Bloomington to play basketball. This being September, Hoosier fans are still focusing on football a bit...come October the focus shifts over to the basketball realm. In football, during the IU/UofI games, my loyalties are split and I am of a HooHawk mindset: it feels like a win no matter whose score is higher at the end of the game. Come basketball season, it is Hoo only, no Hawk loyalties at all (the caveat here being that Hawk loyalties remain high when Hawks are playing anyone but the Hoos). I hope I have landed somewhere to watch the game on Saturday...even on a nice summery day, the HooHawk football game is a great place to spend a bit of down time. (Pun intended.)
Progress Report night for Matt at Guerin tonight...greet the teachers and see what they have to say about progress (or not) during this trimester. I have never had experience with Trimesters before and I have to say, they move FAST. (They cover in 2/3 of a school year what schools normally cover in a year.) I can see where this sort of meet and greet would have been extremely helpful before computers...now we all check in most every day and can see all the homework, class participation, quizzes, worksheets, tests, grades, etc. on a daily basis as the teachers all upload them onto the computer on the parent site, which is password protected, etc. Makes life nice for parents...no surprises along the way that can't be addressed immediately. I expect to hear nice things...well, maybe a little less nice on the Spanish grade, but still, very nice things in the long run.
Meetings today and various volunteer work...am finding things to keep busy...I know you were all worried at the thought of me loose on the streets with not enough to occupy my time...trust me, the crimes I have been committing are minimal.
Have a great day today and don't forget to Pray for Life for the next 40 days...it begins today and officially goes until November 4th, although there is nothing that says you can't continue it forward from there. Here's the site: 40 Days for Life so you can check it out. Please join me in praying for life for the unborn. Just do it.
