The weather's finally right for watching baseball games, wearing flip flops, and going to garage sales--three of my favorite things. I'm very thankful for my job at Abilene High, my students, and the teachers I work with. I just pray that God will give me the energy to do my job well and appreciate it.
Dad and I are getting ready for our annual Spring Break baseball trip. The past two years we've gone to Arizona to watch spring training. This year we're going to Mississippi to watch some ACU games. I really enjoy these trips with my dad. They usually consist of listening to some classic rock music and NPR on the road, eating out at a Mexican restaurant, going to thrift and half-priced book stores, seeing something historical (this time the home of William Faulkner), and of course watching baseball. There are also a variety of musical instruments and/or exercise equipment he may pull out of a secret compartment in his Explorer. It is not unusual for him to be driving down the road playing the flute, the harmonica, the drums (with sticks on the steering wheel), or lifting weights. It's always an adventure, and I'm glad it's just a couple weeks away.
