The End of May

Another busy month. You can always tell when the number of blog posts decreases. Lots going on, plus a few illnesses by the girls will definitely slow things down.

Interesting proposal came up for my professional life. A director with whom I have a deep level of respect and a shared vision for technology integration will retire in August. I truly believe my experience, both instructionally and technically, will greatly qualify me for this position, so my application is in for this. We will see at the end of June, when the position closes.

Nana and PapPap come tomorrow for six days. I know the girls are excited--and so are the parents! (-:

Well...They Got Some Goals...



Good video to get you fired up! (-:

And We Come to the Stanley Cup Yet Again...

PenguinsGotta love the opportunity to have my new favorite (Hurricanes) wins the Cup in 06 and my 'growing-up' favorite team (Pens) are in the Finals this year. Of course it did not start too well last night with a 4-0 loss that was closer than the score. Really, three of the goals were due to large Pens errors. I believe they need to cut those down, and they may possibly be alright. We will see tomorrow night!

Seems Google Maps is switching interfaces, at least for today, and asking for feedback. I completed the survey, and it asked exclusively of my experience with Google Maps TODAY. Yup, they are trying some new features and a cleaner, bluish interface. Some things have moved around, and it runs just a slight faster. Gotta love Google!

Penguins Must Like Summers in Pittsburgh...

Pens continue to play well. As I watch game two, the score should really be 3-2 Pens. So much for conspiracy theories--they STOLE a goal from us. Oh well, lots of firepower left for the third!

While my father-in-law believes me to be brainwashing my girls, they are just showing the Pens Pride:
