5 hard biking miles with the family.  Really had to work hard to keep up with chris on the hills.  Reminder, I am on a mtn bike, him a road bike but he has to haul the kids.  It's almost a perfect equalization of our abilities.

Glad to see you posting again.

9th graders are hard to teach because they still think they know everything - so don't want to listen.

They may be hard but they are cute :) I have one and she's a super cutie and a good student. I really hope the rest turn out so well.

I bike on a mountain bike too with the trailer and the kids. I do make David pull them up the really steep hills ;)

They are brats!!! But some of them are cute. I taught 6th grade and they are probably about equal---they thing they are the big guys at the school and that they know everything!

Hi Pope Girl,

Have you heard of any good 5k Halloween runs? The one in my neighborhood costs $27 (for a T-shirt and a glow necklace) Don't they know these are hard economic times?
