Just trying things out

Hello everyone,
I think I just uploaded a picture of the court of honor that Stuart and Patrick received their Eagle Scout awards. Patrick earned his just before President Bush (W.) ran for a second term so he got his badge/pin but never had or wanted a court of honor. Stuart asked that Patrick be the one to present his (Stuart's) award to him. So, since Pat was there the Scout leaders arranged to present Patrick with his award at the same meeting. There were about four other Eagles awarded that night too. This all happened just before christmas.
Looks like it didn't work. I'll keep trying.
It has been really cold here lately, -12 plus a windchill. I thought of all you in California and other sunny, warm locations yesterday as I was shoveling the snow/ice off my driveway yesterday; dressed in about four layers plus my snowpants. Brrr! Lots of people didn't make it to church today, I suspect their cars didn't start or they decided it was just plain too cold to go outside.
Despite the cold and snow, there is a lot of green that can be seen in the state of Wisconsin right now! Go Packers. Although I am not a fan, I will be watching at least the kick off today. This game is being compared to the ice bowl of, I think, 1967.
I passed my latest class, which leaves me with 2 semesters and student teaching until graduation.

The SWAT Team from the local PD did some training in the house down the street. All the officers lined up behind the first guy who was holding a sheild, and they all marched to the house and "raided" it. There was a picture of a very buff sweaty guy with a big rifle just inside the door of the SWAT van.
