This is the dirt pile that adorns the side of the road in our neighborhood. Quite a lovely landscape, if I do say so myself. It was formerly a generously wooded area, and a shield between us and I-40. They rezoned the areas and a banking center will soon be located there. But, in the […]

Rupert!!!
Rupert won the “America’s Choice” award on Survivor last night. I love Rupert. We watched him in Pearl Islands, and we were very sad when he was voted off. And we watched him in All-Stars, and he was again, voted off (this time much later in the game). But, he got his reward in the […]
Pilot Mountain
Derek and I hiked up Pilot Mountain on Saturday. He had just returned from NYC and I from Raleigh, so we were pretty tired. We also haven’t had many carbs in about a week, so we started off slow. We missed the start of the trail (I do not know how!), and wound up hiking […]
News Updates
let’s see…. 1. I officially have been transferred to Forbush High School in Yadkin County, for the start of the ’04-’05 school year. I will, hopefully, also be coaching some sports. 🙂 2. I went to Durham last night, and I met Chris and Jessie’s new son (Christopher Andrew). It was the cutest baby ever. […]
It’s Raining, It’s Pouring…
So, we went to the beach this weekend and it rained pretty much the whole time. It wasn’t very warm. Well, it cleared up a little and warmed up a little — Just as we were leaving. It was a pretty good time. I got to relax. Eat out. Play board (bored?) games. And I […]
BEACH!
Derek and I are headed to the beach this afternoon, just as soon as school lets out. His parents won an auction-fundraiser, and obtained a beach house for the weekend. They are going, as well as, his sister and brother-in-law.That, my friends, is all.
Scantron (And End-Of-Year Testing)
It’s getting near to the end of the year. How do I know?? Standardized Testing. I remember the days of filling in little circles, just to prove to the Department of Education that my school was doing it’s job. “when you get to the word ‘STOP’, do not go on to the next page” “you […]
Obesity
We went to Golden Corral tonight. It’s amazing the number — or better yet — the percentage of overweight people that you will find on any given trip. It’s sad, really. I really can’t talk, though: We went to the mall, shortly afterwards, and I realized I’m well on my way to joining the legions […]
Way New Look
Over this weekend (well, mostly in the last few hours of tonight – Sunday), I’ve completely changed the look of this site. As always, I have left much to be completed, so look for more cosmetic beautifying in the next few weeks/months/years. Whatever. Let’s see…. This weekend….. We went to a BBQ for Derek’s longtime […]
