TIMING IS EVERYTHING

POINT A: Me
POINT C: Granny and Grandpa
POINT B: I happen to catch Granpa and Granny leaving a Culver's Ice Cream store while going to visit a customer who has a book store in the same parking lot.

BUSTED!

BROWNS TRAINING CAMP


Grandpa Kelch, Will and I went for an hour or so to the Cleveland Browns training camp this past Thursday. I've never done that and am glad I went. It's a way you can get up close to the players, and the best part is it's free. These two guys are really the only ones I know, plus Hillis is on the cover of the latest Madden NFL video game, and if you're a football fan and watching the Browns (who's kidding who, does anyone outside of northern Ohio watch the Browns?), Hillis doesn't go around guys, he leap frogs over them...a beast of a guy.

UPDATE, SORT OF....

I'm always annoyed when people don't update their blog. I realized it's been two weeks for me, and that's too long. Nothing of importance has happened, but I thought I'd post any updates, however, trivial (though some are not trivial to all involved).

1. Liz was able to get a different, and better paying job, and will start next week. She's going from ice cream to groceries...the fruit department to be exact. Though I expect they'll see what a good employee she is and she'll be taking on new responsibilities before she knows it.
2. Will got his first job...a paper route. I never had one, but my friend Mark did, and it got me thinking back to a long time ago, when I would spend the night at his house, and we had to get up while it was still dark to deliver the paper, something I've never enjoyed. If I recall right, he had to put the inserts in the Sunday paper, whereas, Will does not. Thankfully. On the weekends, I get up to help Will, because I enjoy spending the time with him, and I've actually enjoyed walking around the neighborhood when the birds are still getting out of bed and the light of the sun coming up is still dim.
3. We are homeschooling Liz as we've done all along, but we've enrolled Will in what they call K12, a program originally designed by Bill Bennet, but now administered by the state of Ohio (in our case). The nice thing is the state provides all the computers, books, labs and equipment we need, and it's sent to our door-all free. Well, I say free, but it's actaully my tax dollars at work...finally. I think it will be the right set up for Will and his style of learning.  I just set up a new desk for him and wired up all that "free" computer equipment they sent.
4. Speaking of school, Sean will start Kindergarten this year. As he likes to say, "Good Times."
