Permit me to understand: Little Miss Sunshine is or isn't supposed to be a liberating return to your family, where you can see all the stereotypes of youth as little pieces of ignorance and loyalty? Divorce, bankruptcy, suicide, being gay and not being a loser, and learning what it takes to get... Sign in to see full entry.

SPRING BREAK UPDATE
I waited all day for a call from my daughter traveling in France with her class. The call didn't come, and I feel sad. Yet, there is a websight that the class had used all year for homework and other neat activities and announcements and rewards. We log on there and get an update from the lead...

NO NEWS FROM FRANCE IS GOOD NEWS -- IN MY BOOK AT LEAST!
I missed a call from my daughter who is in france on spring break with her class. That's the second call I have missed in two days. the first one I missed because the cellphone was jumbled in the covers. The second was because I had the darned TV up too loud watching a moronic movie "Miami Vice".... Sign in to see full entry.

I will finally tell what has been going on with my children. I have felt stress and the need to simply remain quiet because we had so many projects ongoing. Any rational man would never do any of this. None of it! My eldest, 18 year-old daughter has enrolled at the local University, been accepted,... Sign in to see full entry.

NERVOUS EXHAUSTION -- A PECULIAR NCAA HIDDEN FACTOR
Ken7700 was talking about the pressure on Kentucky coach Cubby Smith to send a team through the NCAA Chammpionship Tourney. I agree with his thesis. Knowing Central Ky as I do, I can see Cubby losing his cool, and his job. Three, four and five years ago, when Kentucky got into the quarter- and... Sign in to see full entry.

IOWA STORM APPEARS NOW TO BE A HEAVY SNOWSTORM, WHAT WE ARE USED TO
I finally gave up and went to be around two a.m. It was still snowing ice pellets or grains. When I got up a few minutes ago, around 8:00, it was visibly snowing again. I guess it has snowed all night. The guy's car across the street that I can see through my front window, looks like it's got a foot... Sign in to see full entry.

IOWA ICE STORM JUST SITTING THERE DUMPING ICE PELLETS
Well, once again I sit here thinking that the storm is over. Looking out the window I can tell that nothing is happening. But checking the radar it shows that light snow continues to fall. \ Local channels of TV show over 500 closings. Mostly churches. Keep this up and we may take a day off on...

IOWA ICE STORM UPDATE
I was to rest for four hours, then drive back out to pick up the bloggers from work. I was lulled into a false reality, not alone because of the excellent ALL Anna Nichole ALL THE TIME coverage -- media saturation, but also because the three inches of ice pellets that fell had done so...
