Hi there friends. I hope that you're having a happy day.

I enjoyed my day. I was able to go into work late this morning. We had a two-hour delay because of the weather. The even better news is that we will have the same delay tomorrow. It is nice to end the week with two grueling six-hour workdays.

I wish that my high school would have closed down this often. Snowdays were an awesome break from life on a cold winter day. Now they're time to clear away snow and stay warm.

Just between you and me, I really can't understand why school is being delayed tomorrow. I can't imagine that it'll be much warmer at ten than it is at eight. It just causes a lot of headaches for working parents. I also think that kids end up standing outside longer because with the late start they're not exactly sure when their school bus will come, so they go out a little early. If it's hard to start the buses, they can leave them to run at night if they have to.

Oh well, I suppose that I can't complain about the time off. It is awesome to watch baby Kentaro wake up. At around eight o'clock every morning he opens his eyes and starts smiling and "talking." It would be nice if I could wake up like that!

Okay friends, I am going to go watch "Seinfeld" and "Frasier" on TV. Bye for now!

Here's me and baby Kenny. He's showing off his new trick: blowing bubbles.









Here's us together again.
