Our state is undergoing YET ANOTHER BUDGET REDUCTION. It's been rough, very rough. One area that has taken a beating is the funding for public schools. Ironically, our state constitution says that education is a primary responsibility of the state. Yet, there are cuts and more cuts.
A short while ago, I got a call from the school office where SonofV goes to school. I picked up, and it was SonofV. He said there was going to be a protest march, and he read me the "mission statement". He then asked if it was ok with me if he went. You betcha! He's Time's Person of the Year!

I understand the school district's position, and I support it. I have a long consistent record of "encouraging my student to stay in class". I support his learning, and today, class was outside, on the road, in Red Square with hundreds of his fellow students, making themselves heard, making a difference.

So post Christmas concert, Lil Griff's band director approached us, "The boys don't want to here it but 'Lil G' is the best drummer in the school right now." 10th grade girl sounded awesome playing teh jazz. Super proud Dad.

Thor scored his first real goal.
I don't count the one from the tourney in Canada where the other team were so bad our team lined up all the poor players who never scored before and had them scpre. He scored this one with his butt and the other team objected, but it counted. Then he broke his stick and got a penalty (the only one of the game) because he didn't know you have to drop a broken stick immediately. We got the stick replaced because it was brand new and broke at the joint -clearly not glued properly. But just to reiterate Thor scored! (And we did not total the car on the icy roads, unlike many other unfortunate travellers this morning..... two cards in one month would have sucked)

Well, he was going for the rebound, but fell so it rebounded off his butt.
