Happy Washington’s Birthday everybody. It has been a while since I’ve even signed on to FR, so please let me reintroduce myself. Unfortunately, the four-letter word is consuming way too much of my time these days and when I get home between grading and preparing lessons for online and traditional classroom and catching up on emails I just don’t get much FReeping done. Even my last couple of roadtrips yielded little to no FReeping.

It will probably be June or July before things slow down even a little bit.

Yesterday was gorgeous here. Went on a call...first you go 5 miles out of town, then you turn right onto a seasonal road and go for miles on a muddy, rutted road to the scene. Then you pick up someone who fell off a horse. What fun!

A+++ Wish I had been out to the bottom of a hill to pick up a heavy butted black woman with a broken leg.

Hey, Stranger. I was just wondering if you were still able to see the light of day at all, guess not much.

Somehow, I pictured you out and about with your daughters and then checking in on your phone to realize you forgot all about us. No problem at all, and you can go ahead and take Wednesday. ;)
