Late summer

286 pounds and two McChicken today.  I had gotten down to 279, but then couldn't pass up the drive thru.

Today, I discovered that public school is not free.  To send Andrew to school in the Fall, it will cost approximately $415 dollars, with an extra $40 thrown in if he wants a year book.  That will pay for his printing, if he wants to use a computer in the library, his student ID, allow him to take band class, play soccer, and includes an AP test that he has to take because he signed up for the class.  At this point, we have not included the dreaded school supply list which I estimate at another $250 and then school pictures.

Yes, I do have a high schooler now and I am sure that four years from now I will say to myself where did the four years go.  For now, I want him to get good grades so he has as many options open to him as could be possible when he graduates.  I also want him to be involved in his school, so high school is more than going to class and watching others.  I would want him to earn a varsity letter, mostly for the experience of playing for your school, not a college scholarship.  And I want to know what the difference is between the Drama club and the Thespian Club.  Isn't that the same thing?

Let's take this blog serious

I really do not know what to do with this blog, so from now on it will be photos, random observations, and maybe a witty insight or two if we are lucky.

Let start like Bridget Jones. 285 pounds today and two McChicken. I am sure there is a correlation
