Soccer, school work, weekend notes

Played soccer for the second weekend in a row and I'm still walking. I'm still real tentative about my knee. I wish I could get over that.

David drove about an hour today and is doing pretty good. He needs to work on turns quite a bit and parking, but overall he's doing real well.

David bowled a 247 yesterday and finished his season with a 154 average. He will be averaging more than me pretty soon. It will be interesting to see how I do against him in summer league.

Back in the office on a Sunday night, but this should be the last one for school work until the fall semester begins. Maybe I could start a routine of coming in here to finish the novel. That would be something.

Another Saturday In The Office

School work again. Probably will be in here tomorrow too, but only three more weeks of this semester and then a break.

Easter Weekend Recap

Drove to New Bern Thursday afternoon, following class.

David, who got his learners permit on Wednesday, drove about an hour -- his first nighttime driving. He drove on Route 264 and Route 70 and did a good job.

Thursday was the warmest day of the trip; I think it was in the 60s when we arrived.

On Friday, David and I went to the Golfin' Dolphin. Didn't hit too well, but it was still fun. David drove the whole way back. The temp was about 60 and it was pretty breezy out. We also got to see the boat in the shop. It looks a lot different being stripped down.

On Saturday, David and I went to see the Will Ferrell movie, "Blades of Glory." It was good for a few laughs. About what I expected from a Will Ferrell movie. It was a bit on the short side. I'm guessing about 80 mins. The theater isn't too good, but we still had a good time. David drove back and we cruised around the neighborhood so he could practice turns. Then we went over to New Bern HS and tossed a baseball around for a while. David also drove around the parking lot there to practice parking and turning, then drove back to the house.

We watched Cast Away one night, I think Friday Night. I thought it was pretty good. On Saturday morning we watched Airplane. It's still as funny as ever.

Sunday, we went to church and headed home about 2 p.m. David drove the first hour, which included his first attempt at merging onto a highway from a ramp. We need to work on this, but he has time.

New Bern either set a record low or came close on Saturday night as the temp dropped into the 20s. The western part of the state got snow, including 1.5 inches in Ashville. Linda took pictures of the 1/2 inch we got in Harrisonburg.
