Visiting school has canceled and the home school has a 2 hour delay tonight. Sounds like we'll cancel since the visiting school will probably not send any buses out. I'll end up calling the school in a couple of hours.

My kid's school didn't delay (2 hours) until 7AM -- by then my daughter was up. She could've used the extra sleep. Drifts on rural roads -- I wonder if they will cancel in the end -- apparently people are snowed in.

I'm OK with it. I'm enjoying this mid-season break.

I was just notified of my 3rd cancellation this week. All have been re-scheduled on dates where I'm unavailable. It's a bummer considering we only have a couple of weeks left until the end of the season.

My Friday games have just been canned as well. I'll have to tide myself over on the four Jr High games I have on Saturday.

Holding out hope that Friday's games are still on. The school has been closed the last two days so I haven't been able to get a hold of anyone to find out.

I have had 3 Boys JV/Varsity double headers and 1 Varsity Boys game posponed this week (So far). I have had 4 previous dates posponed due to bad weather. I hope my Varsity girls game on Friday gets played.

Just got a call from my assignor asking if I could get to tomorrow night's GV/BV games for a 4:30 Start time instead of 6:30. It is a 1hr, 50min. commute. When I asked why, I was told that there is supposed to be an ice storm there later in the evening and they wanted to get the game in before it hits. So it is OK for me to potentially get stuck in the storm while commuting, without any travel pay, so the teams can get their game and get to their local homes?

I brought this to the attention of the assignor. His only response was "I don't have anyone to replace you, I would consider it a favor to Me if you will re-accept the game." Districts start in 10 days, I hope He remembers the favor.

I Hope He Doesn't Bother My Birdfeeder ...

Here's another photo of my backyard. We do have black bears here in town. This one must be an albino.

Hotel room may be in order.

True that.

In this association negative memorys last longer than positive ones.

Capital "H" in he? You really do suck around your assignor, don't you?

He'd damnwell better remember the people that help him out when he's stuck. If he doesn't, he ain't gonna that that help from them in the future. And that's strictly on him, no one else.

My daughter didn't have school today, but my game went on as scheduled. I just got home (I stopped for a sandwich on the way).
