Today's Activities.

I got the idea for this post from here> "Random Pitches"....
Here is a summary of my day:
1. Got up at 7:30.
2. Made a quick pot of coffee before rushing to get Andrew to a friends house so they could go up to the basketball tourney in PA.
3. Came home and drank a cup of the coffee mentioned in point 2.
4. Continued working on a friend's PC trying to get Windows Updates installed on it. It was horribly behind on those!
5. Got dressed for a wedding about 40 minutes south of here.
6. Continued to struggle with the PC to get service pack 2 for Win XP installed on it.
7. Left at 10:00AM for the wedding.
8. Stopped at WAWA to fuel up the van with gas and me with more coffee.
9. The wedding and reception meal was nice and we left at 2:30 to come home.
10. Got home, changed clothes and continued working on the PC and got all Windows updates installed including IE 7. Also put the latest version of Firefox and AIM on it.
11. We continue to wait for Brendon to get back from the basketball tournament in PA. In the first game they played Brendon scored a game winning 3 point shot as time was running out! Andrew was there helping to cheer them on today.
Short delay...
12. Its now coming up on 10:00PM this Sat night and the guys are back.
13. Its time for me to wrap this entry up and get busy studying for the Sunday School lesson for the men's class I teach tomorrow.
14. I often start with some commentary found at this website> Christian Standard

Winter?

This looks more like the end of March...so says our daffodils!


What a warm day we have had! I guess winter is going to skip us this year. The record high temp at Philadelphia WAS 71 degrees set back in 1950. The new record, as of today, is officially 73 degrees. It seems that the prediction of a mild winter last fall is coming true.
I should have updated sooner since we returned from our trip to Alabama over Christmas. Yes we made it home. Getting back to the grind of work for me has been tough but at least the weather has been nice to work in. School has resumed and on we go to the business of schedules etc. Basketball games, Bible quizzing, to name a few.
