Two Out of Three's Not Bad...

I mowed the lower-40 (actually only about half of it, since it's getting dark much sooner these days) tonight. Unlike the last two times, I didn't mow over a bunny rabbit this time. As the corn husker might say, "aw, shucks". We had a great meatloaf for dinner last night... one of the best meatloafs I think I've ever eaten. Great potatoes, homemade creamed spinach, carrots... And tonight, we had breaded pork bites, with broccoli, cauliflower, squash, and a huge Idaho potato baked to perfection. Fantastic meals. Two in a row. And both cooked up by the Bopnopper. Bry's company got their loan so they're afloat for awhile. Er, I guess airborne would be a better metaphor. Sounds like he got tapped as the company's shop steward (their pilots are Teamsters, not ALPA or APA). Huge job for a young 22-year-old. I guess it says a lot about how much he's looked up to by his peers. I had a nice phone call to Lint Monkey, too. She's happy, and healthy. I caught a rumor that the Big Al may be home for a couple of days shortly. Niiiiice. I'm staying busy, busy, busy. Haven't had time to even post, let alone go walking in the mountains. I've got over a hundred students this semester. Plus I'm faculty senator, on the MBA policy committee, and just was appointed to the D.A.P. Committee. And I'm in charge of our Academic Program Review, which hopefully will culminate in an external review team visit in a couple of weeks.
