'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It's so exciting to have a job offer in the place you want to move to! I have now relocated three times with no job, and it's scary....
OK, here's a random musing: Isn't it funny how different food fills you up differently? I had the frozen TJ's spinach lasagna for lunch, and it says it's only like 350 calories, so I figured I'd need a snack, but I'm so full right now! Hearty.
Tommy - softball games like that are SO hard to coach. When Kelly was in high school, the majority of the teams in their devision were like the two in that story. They always came out and played softball in their usual style in the first inning. It doesn't benefit the other team to completely play down to their level - how do they learn to improve? And it doesn't help our girls to not play at the level they can.
BUT taking advantage of every little mistake is not a reason to steal multiple bases. And as the innings progressed and our team hit the run rule limit, they would bring down their agressiveness at the plate and on the bases.
Even so, I remember one game where the score had gotten so crazy, our girls were trying to get out on purpose...stepping off base, not pushing to beat a tag, swinging at bad pitches, and such. Their girls didn't get it and wouldn't miss the tag or the ump would ignore things that should cause instant outs. It was crazy making. We just could not get out of the inning without scoring more runs.
Stranded at an airport but need to run Norway? There's an app for that.
Norway's Stranded Prime Minister Uses iPad To Govern From U.S.
An enormous volcanic ash cloud has shut down air travel in Europe, canceling flights and stranding Europe-bound passengers around the world.
But thanks to the iPad, stranded Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg hasn't had any trouble.
Stoltenberg, who traveled from Oslo to the U.S. to participate in President Obama's nuclear summit, is now stuck in New York City. Stoltenberg's press secretary told CNN that the prime minister has been running his government from Apple's tablet.
A photo of Stoltenberg on the Norwegian Government's official Flickr account shows the prime minister and his iPad under the (translated) title "The prime minister is working at the airport."
heh ... years ago I worked for a PR firm and one of the clients was involved with pickles (trade association or something). As a result, one of our staffers ended up standing on a street corner clutching a thee- or four-foot-long plastic pickle. And trying to catch a cab.
It's Friday, so you guys need to talk more.
Go Prime Minister of Norway! Love it.
I just got back from an hour in the County Corthouse doing a deed trace on my property. It was SO MUCH DORKY RESEARCHER/LIBRARIAN FUN I cannot even tell you, people.
Here's an activity to do! If you're on the twitter. Tweet "@SamsClub help @girls_inc win $1million! #Sams4GirlsInc" Girls Inc. is in 2nd place in this Sam's Club contest currently, which means $500K versus $250K for third place, but 1st place would be awesome!!
I think Groupon helped me figure out what I am doing for my birthday this year, or maybe just the next time I need to get out of town. [link]
