Why does the last hour always take the longest?


Do you remember being in grade school or maybe even high school waiting for the school bell to ring? You could look at the clock every 30 seconds and it felt like an eternity had passed.

That is how working till 7pm on Wednesday and Thursday nights feels. I can have the busiest day ever - much like today, and undoubtably 5:30pm - 5:45pm rolls around and I hit the preverbial brick wall.

Don't misunderstand - I didn't run out of work, quite the contrary - I have enough work to fill the next 3 hours. Now when the phone stops ringing why can't I take advantage of the silence I was begging for at noon?

If anyone has suggestions for last hour motivation, I'm open to hearing them...

Football season has come to an end




The Park Panthers finished their season this past Saturday. In the wind and cold they were beat by the strong farmboys of Homestead 42-6. Typically I would say the game was closer than the score but unfortunately that isn't the case. However as a proud parent I will say Austin had a good game, he recoved the 1st kickoff of the game, had 3 announced/televised tackles and even got laid out by a tackle once himself...to bad it was a teammate that did most of the damage.

Overall thou they had an excellent season 10-2 overall. 8-1 in conference and were co champions. Here are a couple of pictures from this year:

Keeping up with the Schroeders...

I viewed Kelly's page and thought it was a cute idea and a nice way to stay up-to-date on the day to days, probably can't write everyday, but it'll be nice to stay more informed :)
