Weekend music video (my new, new favorite)

I love the seriousness with which little Rowan sings Caitlin Rose’s Own Side Now. She is only five years old.

New blog look

There I fixed it.  I thought I did pretty well, but I am still getting abuse.  Everyone rejected the header with FOUR people in it.  Well, we will try this look for awhile.

Lorena’s five years at the YMCA

Lorena's five years at the Kraft YMCA
Our family belongs to the beautiful Kraft YMCA in Holly Springs.  We initially joined the YMCA as a resource for our homeschool physical education efforts, but it rapidly became a favorite destination for the whole family to swim, work out, and lounge by the pool.  Even when I had work, I could sit in the lobby, have a cup of (free) coffee, and work (great wifi) while everyone else got their exercise.  Now that the kids are at NCSU and have their PE classes there, Lorena is the main user of the Y.  The good thing is that there is a sister YMCA right by the NCSU campus where Lorena often gets a workout in while waiting for the kids.

My hat is off to Lorena, she has hammered through a hard aerobic workout (usually the elliptical machine) and weight lifting three or four days per week five years.  Longer than that, actually, but five years at this YMCA.  She has the t-shirt to prove it.  No wonder she looks so good.

The kids tell me I have a lousy looking blog during breakfast at IHOP

Day 607 of 1000

Kelly and Christian at IHOPWe went to a late breakfast at IHOP this morning/afternoon because everyone stayed up late to study going into dead week.  Christian and Kelly let me know that they like the content of this blog (even though the writing style is a little bit stodgy), but the site layout is really, really weak.  Actually, they said it was ugly.  The picture to the left is them looking smug after berating me so intensely and unjustly.  I will give it a little more thought, but with Lorena already complaining about the header image (notice the only one who does not have their head bowed and eyes closed), but it looks like I am in for a redesign.  Christian says it is inadequate to just find another header image or wordpress theme I like.  He says I have to read a little bit about how to avoid having such an ugly blog.
