Orren can open the fridge now. He keeps bringing me Dr. Peppers.

There will be no school on Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2025, due to the weather. Students should NOT report to school. This will NOT be an E-Learning Day. School is canceled. The Board of Education meeting will be held as scheduled. Visit spps.org for the latest information.

Every gym should be required to allow people to cancel their membership over the phone or online.

I'm usually the first one at the office. Today, I forgot my keys. The good news is that I can still access our wifi from the hallway and that the carpet isn't too uncomfortable to sit on.

This game is so heartbreaking Taylor Swift might write a song about it.

🤣

I think it looks great! I love how clear and simple it is. sports.yahoo.com/super-bowl-f...

Superbowl Predictions: -Neither team will score more than 31 points. -Jalen Hurts will have no fewer rushing touchdowns than Saquon Barkley. -Taylor Swift won't perform at halftime. -Kansas City wins for the three-peat.

When we came home, Orren ran around in the snow and wouldn't come inside until he fell down and got his hands cold. 🤣 Lots of happy baby sounds.

I need a sign for my house that discourages soliciting and religion but encourages political canvassing. I haven't found anything like that. 🫤

School boards have the capacity to empower their communities and focus district operations on making school better for students. Realizing that capacity depends on each board’s ability to understand and utilize the tools available to them. #EduSky medium.com/@uriahstp/ho...

SPPS is closed tomorrow due to the weather. The school board meeting will proceed as scheduled.

Orren was complaining and wouldn't stop until I read him my textbook for Human Resources Management for Public and Nonprofit Organizations.

I attended the Obama inauguration in 2009. It was the same temperature as it is today in DC and we stood outside for hours. It's barely freezing. It really doesn't need to be indoors today 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm interacting with Georgians and I keep accidentally speaking in a southern accent 🤣

Down in Valdosta for my program's residency weekend. Just one more of these to go before I'm working on my dissertation. This semester, I have classes on Information Data Management and Human Resources Management.

Childcare is far too expensive and childcare workers make far too little. If we want to make this a good place to raise children, we need to subsidize childcare. fortune.com/2024/05/16/c...

I just hit a 25 day streak on Duolingo. It's been 25 days since I practiced. The owl is furious.

The Carolina Panthers season is done. Time to get out my Minnesota Vikings gear. #SKOL #BeatDetroit

Best long-snapper ever 🐐 #KeepPounding #Panthers

I've had a strong preference for wired ear buds for a while. But I've just realized that wireless earbuds are much harder for Orren to pull out of my ears.

I'll take it

I finished a draft of another book! In the New Year, I'm going to work on editing it and then send it off to some publishers and agents to see if anyone is interested in it. If nobody bites, I'll self publish again.

So many reasons to join a union. phys.org/news/2024-12...

Merry Christmas, y'all! 🌲❄️🛷

I'm in two fantasy football leagues and I made it to the championship game in both of them! I've never won a league before but this might be the year.

The Superintendent Search Task Force is presenting candidates to the School Board tonight at 4:30. Y'all should tune in!

Snow football games are so much fun. It's a shame that everyone is moving toward domed stadiums.
