I stayed home today because I'm not feeling well. I hope this extra day of rest will get this stupid cold out of me and keep me from getting worse. Supposedly, we're getting our first fall of snow and slush today. So at least I may miss out on that. Pretty crappy weekend. On Saturday, I worked my final game for GHT. I've been there for 7 years or so (I honestly don't remember when I started, but it's been around there), so it's time to move on. I'm hoping I'll be teaching full-time, so I can solely concentrate on teaching and planning during the week, and have the weekends to unwind and have fun.

Last week, I subbed all week in a 6th grade class. The class talks too damn much, but overall, I think I did a pretty good job filling in the teacher's plans. It wasn't easy, but it was good experience nonetheless. I had 2 interviews last week as well. I hope the 2nd one went well enough to at least get me to the 2nd interview. There are lots of positives about that job. I'm hoping...

I hate to say it, but Christmas is fast approaching, and I don't believe it. There's always so much preparing and looking forward to the day, but it goes by so fast. It's definitely not the same as when you're a kid. I still love the feeling of the holiday, though, and that will never change.

Since you're all probably sick of hearing about it, I'm going to add to the crap...This stupid steroids "news" is everywhere. The only thing I'll say is this...I heard this morning that Hank Aaron's HR numbers declined as he reached into his 40s each year. Barry Bonds' mysteriously increased by 40 a few years ago, and have been abnormally high over the past few years. Obviously the man knows what he was doing since I learned he had a personal nutritionist and chef when he was in college. Now that he's older, he becomes unaware what he's putting into his body. I'm no fan of the Yankees or Jason Giambi, but if his contract gets bought out and he's thru with baseball, then why does Bonds get different treatment? What a great message to send to kids playing ball today. I'm proud to say I'm a Blue Jays fan because there's no way any of them are on the juice...they suck...and I love them even more for that now!
