What Struck Me

The last week of school for three kids means a crazy schedule. Dropping off and picking Andy up when he doesn’t have exams, remembering to be at the bus stop at the right time when Tim has a half day, bringing paper plates for the last day pizza party…

Today Nick’s class is having a tasting party for recipes the kids put into a class cookbook. Did Nick contribute something easy, something he could have brought to school this morning? No. He contributed “Marinaded Burgers” (sic). Grilled burgers basted with Italian dressing. Have we tested this recipe yet? No. But I have to provide enough for each kid in the class to have a taste by 1:30 this afternoon. I’ll make them on the George Forman, and hope for the best!

I had such plans for today. I actually got some done. Dropped off Andy at school (he has exams this week) then ran to Target and Stop & Shop for a few things. Came home and popped on to CG to check a message and… nothin’ :blink:. 500 error. Hmm, well, no biggie, probably a server glitch. Except people started emailing me, turns out the site had been down for a few hours. And I’m the admin, so I’m supposed to fix it. And I didn’t want Kerry to have to deal with it, he just came home from the hospital! So I bunkered down for the duration.

5 hours and a support ticket later, the problem is fixed. But geez, that was just not a fun 5 hours! Not like I get paid for this :yeahright:. It’s cool, though, I learned a little more, a got a few cheers from the crowd.

And now it’s back to those things I was supposed to be doing today!

Ooh, they just put the speed indicator right outside my house. It’s one of these…

… the speed limit here is 25. People always speed down our road. Hopefully this will help, at least until they move it (we have just the one in town, they shift it from place to place.)
