15 Apr 05 No School Today!

Madison’s softball team (the Dolphins), under the careful guidance of their brilliant coach (Beth), won a tough game last night against their arch-rivals (the all-stars).

I heard a few of the girls discussing the need for a new team name - something to do with the Dolphins not inspiring fear and trembling in the hearts and minds of the other teams. I will be quite interested in seeing how this discussion resolves.

We celebrated their “tuna safe” victory with a family feast of grilled salmon and grilled tomatoes stuffed with cheese and seasonings. Yum! Wished you were there.

The kids are off from school today. We love long weekends! We see changes, especially in Reese, when he’s been at school for a while which are not necessarily positive. A day or two back at home and he’s back to “normal.”

Not sure what the plan is for today. Leading suggestions have been going into DC to look at the remaining cherry blossoms or going fishing. I wonder who suggested each activity?

It’s nice to have a day off every now and then - especially with how busy most of our Saturday and Sunday’s have become. Friday is usually the day I like to take off so it will be nice to spend the day together.

Enjoy your weekend and let’s have a cheer for the killer whales!
