Starting the day off with a flat tire

This is how my morning began…

So I’m sitting on the side of the road waiting for what sounds like an eighteen year old to come change my tire. No, I’m not going to attempt it..
While I wait, I’ve got my thoughts on the upcoming fall semester and studies both at home and in our homeschool cooperative. We are having to make some sort-of last minute changes to teacher positions in our co-op so I’m working on that. I was told during my years as a USAF flight doc that a key to airpower is flexibility. Goodness knows, it’s certainly wise to be flexible while homeschooling. Minimizes the stress level.
I hope my little helper comes soon to change my tire. I’m starving!

Memorial Day Weekend

It’s so great to see people out with their patriotic pride taking time out to reflect on those who’ve served and died for this country.

Ran a 5K this morning in honor of our soldiers.  Just found out by my girlfriend that I placed second in my age group-what?  Makes me feel better.. So many people kept passing me so I thought I did horribly!  Apparently, I won a medal, but I wasn’t there to receive it because I was already at Dunkin Donuts-ha!!
