I posted a few weeks ago about my 12 yo granddaughter learning to weld when she was visiting her other grandparents in France. She brought her project home and entered it in her local county fair in the metalworking category. In spite of being the youngest entrant, she ended up receiving the grand champion ribbon and an invitation to the Illinois state fair competition later this fall. As a metal worker myself, I am so proud of her.

Whose pool this is, I think I know.
His house is dark, the yard is dim;
He will not see me tarry here
While I strip off to take a swim.
The water’s warm, and not too deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And laps to swim before I sleep,
And laps to swim before I sleep.

Hi-hi, hi-ho
It’s off to lunch we go
We’ll drink some Jack
And not go back
Hi-ho, hi-ho….

I went to Cheers every night for six months and nobody bothered to learn my name.
Actually, bucket IS the correct pronunciation
Humble brag alert…and a little bit of nice time news. I just learned that my son’s daughter was accepted into the baccalaureate program at our local high school. It’s a six year advanced placement program for grades 7 through 12. Graduates finish the program with 10 college credits, so that’ll be nice if we still have a livable world by then.

And now I expect you to come back in the fall to fix what you f***ed up.

I called my brother this morning to see how he’s faring with the blizzard. He lives a bit north of the town of Newton, NJ, which is about an hour drive north of Trenton where they had a reported 16 inches of snow. They only got 4 inches by him. He said they often get spared by big storms because the mountains at the Delaware Gap tend to deflect them southward. Even so, he said they have plenty of food and 3 generators in case the power craps out, so that’s good.
