Cooking? Really….cooking?

I am a sports nut. I love sports—all sports, mainly football but really if there is a sport on television I want to watch it. I like to play sports too, but right now I’m talking about the sport of watching sports. To be honest though I’m sure I don’t measure up to a lot of fanatics out there. Besides professional and college football, I don’t watch other sports year round. That is to say, I am somewhat of a playoff whore.

There is also a missing child. A 12 year old boy who has been missing for over 24 hours.

The news opens with the story on the storm.

And so it begins. My oldest child “N” has just finished second grade—which means he is on to third (yea, just in case you couldn’t figure that one out on your own). I’m not so crazy about this. Oh sure I’m thrilled that academically he passed what he needed to get in to the next grade level, but third grade???? That is when it all gets serious. The teachers are not all lovey-dovey anymore. The work counts. I mean really counts and no one holds their hand anymore.
