Hey, Mike, are you starting to feel like you're keeping a blog LOL!
Hopefully, it's just that the weather is changing and everyone is
enjoying it. Or maybe that f2f connections are going well.

I know I'm enjoying the weather - at least as much as I can anyway.
My 6th grader is coming home with so-o-o much homework and I'm having
such a hard time helping her that that is killing a lot of my time. I
used to feel bad about it - after all, I am intelligent, educated -
why can't I do 6th grade homework! But then I realized that a)I never
took physics, and b)I'm trying to help her with homework - which means
I have to learn the material 1st, cook dinner, walk the dogs, get the
laundry off the line before it rains, answer the phone - all at the
same time! Of course it's hard to focus! I still hate physics, though.

Sounds like you got that John Deere where it needed to go okay. Glad
you got back home safe, too.
