Two in a Row

I have now taken 2 Saturdays in a row off from the bike shop. I think that is a first since I started over there. We are having a family reunion at our place this weekend. It'll be fun to "relax" and catch up with everyone.

This has definitely been an interesting week. At school I had a nice surprise. The AP that will be observing me basically told me exactly what would get a good review. They don't usually do that. In theory I should know already, but different people see things different ways and have different Ideas about what is important and what is not. So, that was a very nice surprise.

Yesterday we bought a Christmas CD and listened to it. We listened just to make sure it had been worth buying. I can't wait for Advent to start. We need to find, get, make a wreath and candles this year.

Well, I'm on the verge of rambling so I'm going to go for now.

And Then The Rains Came

Man that was a nice break this week. Three days without a let up in the rain. It didn't do a whole lot for the drought but it was some rain. We have the Moore reunion this weekend. It's going to be at the club house in my neighborhood. I guess that means we are hosting it. That's kind of fun. Well, I don't have a lot to say so I'm going to take my leave for now.

BEST is First, but FIRST is Best...

I just wanted to say that. The Milton Robotics Team under the illustrious leadership of Suz competed well on Saturday, but extended rounds of competition just weren't in the cards. They made it to the wild card round to be the eighth team into the semi-finals and tied another team on points for the round. The other team made it out (over) of the gate first to take the eighth spot in the semi's. Oh, well.
Everybody was around at some point during the day we were in Roswell. Everyone but Jeannie. Jody, Becky, Suzy, and Myself were at the competition. Jody, Randy, Suzy, and Myself were at Slope's for dinner that evening. It was kind of cool. I missed Jeannie not being there. The last time we were all in the same place at the same time was my wedding. Well, everybody will probably be in the same place some time in June. I'm hoping.
It was neat getting to see Sam, Zoe, Zane also. 2/3 of the kids and 3/5 of the g-kids at any given point on Saturday. That was a nice mini reunion. Next week is the big thing for the Moore clan. We'll talk at y'all later.

We Got Us a Face Lift

If you haven't noticed yet there is something wrong with your perception. I changed the layout. The blog guts needed to be updated and I just took the opportunity to go with a new look.
I have been struck down by a stomach bug. There'll be more on that at Old Boy Cyclocross. We'll hopefully be down to Roswell all day on Saturday and most of the day on Sunday.
We actually have to teach for an entire week straight. Two and three weeks ago we had Fall Break. Last week we had a teacher work day. Next week the students leave early on Tuesday so we can talk to there parents.
I'm going to go now. Despite being ill all I can think about is the race on Sunday.

What a Weekend

This was a great weekend. Ordinary Bicycles turned 25 this weekend and we had a great sale. We sold a butt load of bikes and got rid of some more patagonia and mountain hardware stuff.
During the sale Chris McHagge came by to check out how the sale was going. He runs the alternative paper in Rome the Unscene. We got to talking and he told me that he owns the Claremont House B&B here in Rome. I jokingly said that it'd be nice if they happened to have a room. He immediately shot back that someone had called in and canceled at the last minute that morning. Long story short he let us have it for the night.
I called Kristi and told her to pack some clothes for the night. She thought I meant that I had forgotten my clothes for Red Lobster (I did not even think about taking clothes). I said no I was going to come home, change, and take her out to eat. She needed to pack for herself for overnight. Then I told her about our last minute accomodations. The room was awesome. The house rocked. Take a look at the Claremont House. See y'all later.
