Arrrg Again!

Dial-up internet access really is slow. Like, really slow.

Well, OK, here is the news.

Last night was a choir concert, rhetoric presentation, and awards ceremony at the school. Personally I felt that it was probably our worst choir concert of the year, but perhaps I am just evaluating myself.

The rhetoric presentations took this form: Mr. Boyd, the rhetoric teacher, gave each of the presenters (in order of appearance, Joy Tollefson, Alan Roddey, and Matthew Hurley) a piece of paper with a maxim written on it. The students then gave impromptu speeches using the maxim as proof to their arguments. The real twist on this was that paper wads were passed out to the front row. While the students were speaking (dramatic gestures included), the audience lobbed paper balls at them in order to simulate real world distractions.

Today is Wednesday. Ultimate Frisbee today in Enterprise. Tomorrow is the last day of school for the week. A weekend, and then we are on to the last week of school. Fasten your seat belts, please.

Today was supposedly the last full day for the seniors. The senior class this year is: Layken Buck, Julie Tollefson, and Cody Moffit.

Things are gearing up.

Well, I am planning to invite some people to the blog tomorrow. I am hoping we can get it in the Monday note next week, despite the reported fact that nobody reads the note, or at least some.


And, here we go: can your web browser block profanity? Ad's? Mine can (well, actually I'm blogging from Firefox Portable right now, but the local copy on my laptop does what I'm talking about). Check out the main Firefox extension page on the Mozilla site.
Look for Adblock Plus. Also, you will probably want the element hiding helper extension. For profanity, first download the Greasemonkey extension from Mozilla. Then, head over to Lifehacker.com to download the script for the filter.

OK, enough technicality! Hang in there, and God bless you!
