Notes and Musings for Friday, August 13, 2010

1.) The heat and humidity on certain days seems to get the best of me. I’m lethargic and don’t really feel like doing much of anything. To compound the problem, it seems that I have an even harder time getting to sleep after the hottest of days.

2.) Teacher workdays for the 2010-2011 school year begin this upcoming week. For the first time in thirty years, I won’t be going back to work. Thus far retirement has not been much different from any other school year. I’m thinking come that first teacher workday and then again the first student day, all that will change. I do have glimpses of the retired life, but as of right now it really hasn’t sunk in quite yet.

3.) Tomorrow I will be working with the children of inmates at the Alexander County Max. Security prison. I will be doing the story and I’ve picked the “Fourth Man in the Fire” as my text. We do a session in the a.m. and then another in the p.m. I’m looking forward to being a “teacher” again.

4.) I’m going to take my 1960 Buick to the Soldiers’ Reunion Car Show on Sunday afternoon. It will be the first time I’ve put her on display. I’m also planning on taking her to the Brookford Car Show on the 28th. I may be taking the Chevy Pick-Up as well, but at this time am not sure.

5.) Question of the Day: Why is it that I buy so many books, but so very rarely read their entire contents?
