Uninspired by Chris LeDoux

I'm at a loss for things to write about right now. We are listening to Chris LeDoux. For some reason country music has never been too inspiring for me. It's first block: 8:30. I've been at work for almost an hour and a half--faculty meeting this morning.

I wish I knew the potential my keyboard has. There are so many numbers and letters and function keys. I'm still using only the ones I was taught in Mrs. Luna's keyboarding class 25 years ago. I was a pretty good typist back then, and even went to contests at Missouri State for speed. I can't remember what they called it. But we never learned what F8 did, imagine what Fn + F8 could do when pushed together with the control key. FYI--it controls my touch mouse pad. :)

Janet has been having a wonderful experience with her job lately. She's felt the rush and anxiety of opening a new After School Academy, followed by the joy of watching the kids utilize all she and her staff have done to make the ASA a true educational experience where students are engaged and active in learning that is valuable to their own being. I can't remember all the details, but she's been running this program for the better part of 10 years and they have now moved into a new facility.

We're in the 3rd song. These are quite soft and soothing...even if they are country.
