Boy #1 competed in cross country and mountain biking. He is not good at socializing and during the cross country potluck afterwards he sat off to the side by himself until I sat next to him and told him he cannot escape his father.<br /><br />Boy #1 earned a varsity letter for cross country. My wife and myself were impressed but he was "Meh."<br /><br />Boy #2 went to JZ Biztown last week. I went along on this a couple years ago with Boy #1. Their is a mini-city set-up indoors and all the students are given adult jobs like business owner, mayor, utility worker, banker, etc. Boy #2 was CEO of something and got excited about it. Students were supposed to dress the part and Boy #2 actually wanted to go out shopping the weekend before and buy a button up shirt.Gerard Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00289822422163685990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-2980052932567277202017-11-14T09:59:26.662-05:002017-11-14T09:59:26.662-05:00Thanks, George.

He ran it in 1:26:45, cutting 3:15 off his record. For reasons I can't understand, he was awarded an engraved cutting board. #??! #thatswhatilikeaboutthesouth<br /><br />Our niece Lauren is down from Virginia for a week's va-cay with her boyfriend, his father, and the father's fiance. We all got together yesterday for a laughter-filled afternoon. Kevin's ability for inventing games must be contagious because Jack brought it to a new level while playing SORRY! with (Matt (Lauren's boyfriend), Brian (Matt's father) and Ceili. (They were playing ever-changing Kangaroo rules.) At one time Matt vowed to out-cheat Jack without realizing he was going against a five-year-old- expert.<br /><br />A new doctor and a new course of treatment for Kitty's low level anemia seems to be on track.<br /><br />Binge watched and enjoyed the two seasons of HAPPY VALLEY. Season three is due in 2019; looking forward to it.<br /><br />The weather has been beautiful here -- averaging about 20 degrees below normal. But, hey, I'm from New England. A lot of Floridians on the Panhandle are bundling up. Wimps! Jerry Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482856733981933159noreply@blogger.com
