It is time to get the list ready for graduation announcements and open house invitations. I hope to have them both in the mail by Monday of next week. Laura has only 14 days of school left and only 26 days until graduation.
Brotherhood
Both Andy and John earned Brotherhood this weekend.
It was a weekend of service and fun for my Scouts.
I am sure they will come home exhausted tomorrow!
Campout
The other three Kassels are at Camp Hohn for an Order of the Arrow campout. It will be a quiet weekend for me.
Jury Duty
I had jury duty the last three days. It was a criminal case that involved a domestic assault by a mom on two of her four kids. While the defendant was extremely unlikable, the State did not clearly make the case. We had to vote not guilty on all counts, but there was a very large level of ick. I hugged both the kids when I got home.
Green and Black Ride
I spent part of the evening hanging at Shakespeare’s Pizza with this crew at the first Big Tree Cycling Green and Black ride of the year. I found myself wishing that I could have spent some time on two wheels with them tonight. I am out of shape and there is no way that I could keep up or ride 14 miles easily, but the urge to ride again is right there under the surface. For now, I will have to settle for hanging with a great group of cyclists. Here is to hoping that I can do what needs to be done to be riding my favorite bike ride by summer!
Morning Patrol
It is time to sit in the kitchen window. In about two minutes, Jim will be off to the next window followed by the next window and then the next window until he ends up back here again. Cat life is a lot of work…
