Odds and Ends

Just some random thoughts and questions wandering through my brain these days.

I want to make sausage.  I'd like to do it with a three year old turkey we have.  We call her Soup because she has to be too tough to roast and will have to be made into soup. There is a story behind the name.  The last turkey was named Dinner and you know where he ended up.  So my obvious question is, Is it too late to make sausage from Soup?

Baseball season started two days ago.  At least the official high school season in this area.  We have been practicing since September.  I have objections to this idea that one must play a sport virtually year-round. Unfortunately I will battle most other coaches on this within our area and the assistants at our school like to practice. in the fall.  I will say fall practice is better than summer.  An athlete is drawn in many directions during the summer and one less sport is good for them; gives them a little chance to breathe.

Baseball starting means I'm getting home after dark.  My muscles will have to get used to another set of motions and I will be sore for a bit, or longer.  Baseball still is a great sport, just I'm seeing another side again.

We're slowly starting to purge ourselves of stuff.  It feels good to give something to another that they can and will use. And we slowly remove the clutter. The key is to not replace it with more clutter.

Teaching sure is changing. It will be nice to be out of the education squirrel cage some day.

Have a good day.
