How many graduations have you been invited too this year? The list keeps growing and growing. This year we helped host one, and have been invited to 4 or 5 more. Some of these kids I know better than others. I know there parents, but not them. Shouldn’t the kid at least have some idea of who you are before the parents invite “their” friends? I suppose it’s got to be worse for teachers than anybody. They know all the kids, but can’t possibly go to EVERY party. Do you pick and choose or just boycott them all and keep it fair? And if you don’t go to their party, what should you send in an envelope? Is cash appropriate, or just a gift card to a restaurant or a clothing store somewhere? Leave me your thoughts

Today on the show we celebrated Pac-Man’s 30th birthday. What were some of your favorite arcade games growing up? E-mail me your list. Some of mine were Gyruss, Track & Field, Gorf & Joust.

Sorry I haven’t done one of these lately. Life seems to be getting busier and busier. School is winding down. I love summer vacation with the kids. They’re home when I get home instead of the other way around. Nothing worse than going home to an empty house. We’re in the middle of our baseball season. I’m the head coach for my son’s coach pitch team. So far we’re 4-0. And no, I don’t pitch. I get to handle more of the morale “keep em’ in line “, kinda of things on the bench, which is just fine with me. My daughter is interested in auditioning for “Guys & Dolls”, in Marion this summer. I hope she makes the cut. Auditions are this Saturday. And I am ready to ride the bike…somewhere. ANYWHERE!! Just waiting for the weather to break. Have a good week and I’ll talk to you soon!!
